# Adobe Photoshop Beta courses

> **PAACADEMY provides online courses on Adobe Photoshop Beta, teaching architects how to integrate Firefly-powered generative AI tools directly into their professional post-processing workflows.**

Adobe Photoshop Beta includes generative AI features built on Adobe's Firefly model, providing architects and designers with AI-assisted post-processing tools directly in Photoshop: Generative Fill for adding or removing elements from renders, Generative Expand for extending image compositions, and text-to-image generation within the established Photoshop workflow. These features are integrated natively, eliminating the need to constantly switch between external AI platforms and presentation software.

At PAACADEMY, Photoshop Beta is taught in advanced visualization courses like _Taking Control 4.0_ by Carlos Bañón, where it acts as the final polish stage for complex AI generations:

- **Generative Fill:** Seamlessly removing unwanted artifacts from Midjourney concepts or hallucinating context-appropriate entourage (people, trees) into an empty plaza.
- **Generative Expand:** Extending the canvas of a tight rendering to fit a specific competition board layout, letting the AI generate the missing architectural context.
- **Integration:** Merging precise geometry outputs from Stable Diffusion and ControlNet with photorealistic elements generated directly in Photoshop.

## FAQ

### What does Adobe Photoshop Beta add for architectural visualization compared to standard Photoshop?

Adobe Photoshop Beta adds AI-powered generative features built on Adobe Firefly: Generative Fill for adding or removing elements, Generative Expand for extending image compositions and text-to-image generation within the standard Photoshop workflow. At PAACADEMY, it is taught in _Taking Control 4.0_ by Carlos Bañón as the post-processing environment for AI-generated architectural images from Midjourney and Stable Diffusion.

### What does Taking Control 4.0: ControlNet x ComfyUI in Architecture cover at PAACADEMY?

_Taking Control 4.0_ by Carlos Bañón is a 10-hour advanced course across 8 lessons covering: harnessing Midjourney v6 for image prompt-based architectural concept guidance; precision design with Stable Diffusion for geometry, materiality and atmosphere control; and integrating Stable Diffusion and ControlNet for enhanced 3D architectural model outputs that respond to geometry inputs.

### Is Taking Control 4.0 at PAACADEMY suitable for designers new to AI tools?

No. _Taking Control 4.0_ is an advanced course designed for participants with existing experience in generative AI workflows including Midjourney and Stable Diffusion. It covers precision control and multi-tool integration (ControlNet, ComfyUI, Photoshop Beta) at a level that requires foundational AI visualization experience. Beginners should start with introductory Midjourney or Stable Diffusion courses.
