PhotoShop വേണ്ട ഇനി ഈ AI മതി 💀

Adobe… are you seeing this? 👀

For 30 years, Photoshop had one superpower: layers.
If you wanted to move a person, remove a chair, or change a shirt color… you needed layers. And layers meant skill, time, and that sweet monthly subscription 😅

But now Alibaba’s Qwen just pulled a crazy move:
It takes one normal flat image… and breaks it into real, separate, editable layers.
Not “mask masking” proper RGBA layers. Like the image was born inside Photoshop.

And while Adobe is still selling “AI features”…
ChatGPT just got its own App Store moment.
Not just answers anymore it’s turning into a platform, like an AI phone with apps inside.

Oh and one more thing: WAN 2.6 is making mini-movies with sound + lip sync.
Another Alibaba flex.

So yeah… big question:
Is Adobe in trouble?
And is ChatGPT slowly becoming the new OS?

Qwen Image Can Edit Photos Like Photoshop (But With AI)

Alibaba released a new AI image tool that breaks pictures into real layers. You can move, delete, or recolor objects easily. People are calling it a “Photoshop killer.”

🔍 Key Points:

• Made by Alibaba Qwen team

• AI splits one image into many real layers (like Photoshop)

• Each object is on its own layer with transparency

• You can edit one part without ruining the rest

• Open-source and free to use

🚨 Why It Matters:

• Anyone can edit photos without design skills

• No need for costly Photoshop subscriptions

• Big problem for Adobe if this improves fast

⏭️ What’s Next?

• Tools may add chat-based editing (“move the person left”)

• Adobe may launch similar AI layers soon
