Learn how to use Adobe's brand-new Firefly Image Model 5 in Photoshop 2026 to easily change elements in your photos. This tutorial walks you through using Generative Fill to swap clothing colors, understanding the updated premium credit system, and cleanly blending AI edits with layer masks.

We'll also cover Photoshop's new Remove tool for automatically clearing distractions, then finish the image in Camera Raw using grain, a vignette, and the powerful (and often overlooked) Point Color tool.
