Based on upstream documentation. These steps have not been independently tested in the desktop app; menu labels and behavior may differ by release.
Step by step
Local selection is one task
Upstream documents subject and object selection running on the device. These tools help identify image regions; they are not a promise of generative replacement.
Generative features have gaps
The upstream assessment identifies AI/generative features as unfinished areas. A similarly named menu or comparison table is not evidence that a Photoshop generative workflow is available.
MCP controls existing commands
The CLI MCP server lets a compatible agent call editing operations. An agent deciding which command to run is different from an image-generation model synthesizing new pixels.
Validate your intended result
Choose a small sample, state your intended output and inspect what actually changed. Keep inputs, outputs and agent file-access boundaries clear.
