If the GIFs aren’t playing properly, read this email in your browser.


Hey! I’m not a big fan of Adobe software, but Photoshop has three incredible AI features that I use all the time. Let me show you :)

I. Generative Fill

Remove anything from your image – like Ringo Starr, for example.


Result: Ad #1
