ChatGPT Update: How to use Photoshop directly in chat (Guide)4 min read
Tired of switching between dozens of different photo, video and music editing tools? Artificial intelligence is taking the next big step by becoming an all-in-one platform.
After the last big update, ChatGPT is no longer just a text model, but an operations center that eliminates the need for multiple external software.
In this guide, we will look at how the new feature "Explore apps" works and how you can use Adobe Photoshop directly in the chat interface. The marketing and AI expert Etienne Yanevwhich has trained over 40,000 trainees and leading companies in Bulgaria, demonstrates how these innovations increase productivity dramatically.
What is the new "Explore Apps" feature in ChatGPT?
ChatGPT is transforming into an App Store-like ecosystem. Instead of copying files and opening heavy programs, you can now link your favorite apps directly to your OpenAI account.
This functionality is available through the menu that appears when you click on the plus one (+) and choice of "More" -> "Explore apps". The integration allows the chatbot to communicate directly with external software, executing complex commands in seconds.
How to Connect and Use Photoshop in ChatGPT: Step by Step
One of the most useful new integrations for designers and marketers is one with Adobe Photoshop. Here's how to activate it, following the tips from Etienne Yanev's video:
1. Installing the application
- Click on the icon "Plus" (+) in the chat box.
- Select "Explore apps".
- Find Photoshop in the list and press the Connect button. You will need to confirm access with a few clicks.
2. Proper activation in the prompter
To ensure that ChatGPT is using Photoshop for your task and not the built-in DALL-E 3 or another tool, use a special command.
Expert Council: Always start your request with the symbol @, followed by the name of the application. Example: Contact @Photoshopbefore you set your command.
3. Real-time image editing (Examples)
After successful integration, you can upload a photo and set commands in English. Here are two key examples photo processing with AI:
- Remove Background: Upload an image and write: "Remove background.". ChatGPT connects to the Adobe cloud, crops the object precisely, and returns a file ready for download.
- Background Blur: You can request "Foggy background". The result is a professional defocus effect. The system often also provides an interactive slider (slider) to adjust the strength of the effect directly in the chat without opening Photoshop.
Why is ChatGPT integration with apps important?
The use of Photoshop via ChatGPT saves time and technical effort. You don't need a powerful computer that supports Adobe's heavy software to make quick edits. This makes AI the perfect assistant for:
- Social content creators.
- Marketers in need of quick visions.
- Online store owners (for product photography).
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
1. Is the Photoshop feature in ChatGPT paid? To use the Explore apps and integrations, you usually need a subscription to ChatGPT Plus. The Photoshop integration itself may also require an active Adobe account, depending on current OpenAI and Adobe terms.
2. Can I use applications other than Photoshop? Yes, the list of apps in Explore apps is growing all the time and includes productivity, coding and data analysis tools.
3. Is the quality of the photos preserved? When processing through the integration, ChatGPT uses the official Photoshop API, which ensures a high quality end result.
