Adobe MAX 2026: ChatGPT Can Now Edit Photoshop Files

Adobe MAX 2026 just changed who does the creative work. ChatGPT and Claude can now edit your Photoshop files — and Adobe built its own AI agent army too. Here's what's live today, what's coming in early 2027, and the catch nobody's talking about. Adobe announced local MCP integrations at MAX 2026 in Miami Beach: third-party AI agents like ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini will be able to edit your native Photoshop, Illustrator, Premiere Pro and After Effects project files — with layers, sequences and compositions staying editable. The private beta opens in early 2027. Meanwhile Adobe's own Creative Agent is already in beta inside six apps, Photoshop gets Relight and Generative Restyle, Premiere Pro 27.0 ships Color Mode and Generative Remove, and Firefly becomes a full AI creative studio with 25+ models inside.
