Adobe Photoshop Neural Filters 2023 Jun 2026

Every time you save a JPEG, the compression algorithm discards image data to reduce file size, creating blocky "artifacts." The filter restores these degraded images by intelligently reconstructing the lost data. You can adjust the results using high, medium, or low levels of blur applied to the image.

On a and RTX 3060 PC , local filters like Skin Smoothing and Smart Portrait ran in 1–3 seconds. Cloud filters (Harmonization, Landscape Mixer) took 5–10 seconds. No major crashes, but occasional lag when switching between filters.
