Changelog & Release History

The latest changes, fixes, and updates for the Seam Photoshop plugin.

Latest Version1.0.21 (October 2026)
  • Models: Nano Banana 2.1 replaces Nano Banana 2 with sharper results, and the new FLUX.3 and FLUX.3 Edit combine up to 10 references.
  • Create: Drop images onto the panel. Three cards fan out while you drag, and a red border shows when the image limit is exceeded.
  • Credits: Prompt Enhance is free on every plan, and a Studio subscription shares 32,000 credits each month.
  • Sign-in: Photoshop and Photoshop Beta share one seat. Seam stores your sign-in securely and renews it before it expires.
  • Improvement: The Seam panel and its icon follow your Photoshop color theme, from darkest to lightest.
  • Upscale: SeedVR Target mode scales to the resolution you pick, and long upscales no longer stop waiting before they finish.
  • Remove Background: Masks keep dark hair and clothing fully visible, and large documents show progress and stop with Escape.
  • Privacy: Report a bug asks before attaching a log, and the device check no longer includes your home folder path.
Previous Version1.0.20 (September 2026)
  • Models: GPT-Image-2.5 Flare is sharper than GPT-Image-2 and about twice as fast, for the same credits.
  • Models: GPT-Image-2.5 Sunburst adds more control over detailed edits, at the same credits as Flare.
  • Models: GPT-Image models can put the result on a transparent background. The new Transparent switch sits under Aspect ratio.
Previous Version1.0.19 (September 2026)
  • Models: Reve 2.1 replaces the older Reve and works again, with a wider aspect ratio range and up to 8 reference images.
  • Models: Reve 2.1 loses its background removal and upscale switches. Use Background Removal or an upscaler model instead.
  • Models: Reve 2.1 accepts images up to 4096 pixels per side and 10 MB. Larger images are scaled down for you.
  • Credits: Reve 2.1 now costs 250 credits per image, matching what it actually costs to run.
  • Remove Background: Applying the cutout as a mask now works on the locked background layer of a freshly opened JPEG.
  • Remove Background: Seam now warns about a locked layer before generating, so you do not spend credits on a result it cannot place.
  • Errors: Placement problems now explain what happened instead of showing Photoshop's internal message.
  • New: Settings and the sign-in screen now link to the privacy policy, so you can read what Seam does with your data without leaving the panel.
Previous Version1.0.18 (August 2026)
  • New: Topaz Creative Upscaler joins the Upscale tab, enlarging up to four times while inventing believable new detail.
  • New: Grok Imagine 2.0 joins the Edit tab, with up to three input images and four variations per run.
  • New: Smart layer names turn your prompt into the layer name
  • Credits: Upscales are now priced from the real size of your image instead of a fixed frame, so large documents cost more than they used to.
  • Credits: Variations stop after the first failure when credits, your plan or the content filter are the reason, so the rest is not charged.
  • Improvement: Generate and Preview start noticeably faster.
  • Improvement: Plugin settings are simplified, keeping the essential controls and making common defaults automatic.
Previous Version1.0.17 (August 2026)
  • New: Topaz Creative Upscaler joins the Upscale tab, enlarging up to four times while inventing believable new detail.
  • New: Grok Imagine 2.0 joins the Edit tab, with up to three input images and four variations per run.
  • New: Smart layer names turn your prompt into the layer name
  • Improvement: Generate and Preview start noticeably faster.
  • Improvement: Plugin settings are simplified, keeping the essential controls and making common defaults automatic.
Previous Version1.0.16 (August 2026)
  • Devices: After signing in you name this computer, so your devices are easy to tell apart in the dashboard. You can rename it any time in Settings.
  • Devices: Reinstalling the plugin or updating Photoshop keeps this computer on its existing seat instead of taking up a second one.
  • Devices: A seat is only used once you have named the computer, so unnamed entries no longer appear in your dashboard.
  • Devices: The rename dialog shows this computer's ID, so you can tell which dashboard entry belongs to it.
  • Devices: Signing in tells you right away when all seats are in use, instead of failing later on your first generation.
  • Devices: Names with accents, apostrophes and other special characters now save correctly.
  • Fix: The model settings no longer shift around a moment after the panel opens.
Previous Version1.0.15 (August 2026)
  • Models: Seedream 4.5 and Relight are no longer offered in the Edit tab.
  • Errors: When a model returns no image, Seam now tells you to add more detail to your prompt instead of asking you to switch providers.
  • Upscale: An image that is too large to upscale now says so and tells you what to change, instead of showing a generic server error.
  • Fix: Picking a category heading in the aspect ratio menu now selects that category's first ratio instead of sticking on the label.
  • Fix: Switching to the backup provider now works in Create without a reference image.
  • Improvement: The plugin download is about half the size, so it installs and starts faster.
Previous Version1.0.14 (July 2026)
  • Fix: Finished images retry their download automatically instead of failing on a network hiccup.
  • Fix: Switching documents right after Generate no longer cancels the generation or breaks selection restore.
  • Improvement: The My models picker only shows LoRAs that work with the selected model.
  • Improvement: Clearer messages when the image service is unavailable.
Previous Version1.0.13 (July 2026)
  • Layers: Result layers are named after the source layer and place correctly, even if you select another layer or delete the source while a generation runs.
  • Layers: Placing a result keeps your source layer visible and leaves masks and selections untouched.
  • Selections: Selection-based edits keep the exact pixel bounds, stay pinned to the chosen layer, and respect each model's size limits.
  • Remove Background: Each run produces a single clean result, and Apply as Mask applies the cutout directly to the selected layer.
  • Upscale: Better defaults per model, including 4K output for Nano Banana 2 and Nano Banana Pro.
  • Errors: Clear plain-English messages when an AI provider hits a credit or billing limit, instead of raw API text.
  • Defaults: New installations start with the recommended settings, and LoRA models start each session with None selected.
  • Updates: Seam Account now includes an always-available Check updates button.
Previous Version1.0.12 (July 2026)
  • Tabs: Edit is now the default tab, and the order is Edit, Create, Upscale.
  • Create: The Sample All Layers toggle is hidden because Create samples reference images only.
  • Models: Reve-2 now supports 5:4 and 4:5 aspect ratios and accepts up to 8 reference uploads.
Previous Version1.0.10 (July 2026)
  • Create: Now text-to-image only. Uploads act as reference images, never as edit targets.
  • Create: A canvas selection sets aspect ratio, placement, and resolution instead of triggering an edit.
  • Edit: All edit models (Flux Kontext, Flux Edit, Seedream Edit) now live on the Edit tab, so Create and Edit stay clearly separated.
Previous Version1.0.9 (July 2026)
  • Updates: A new update page shows release notes right in the plugin.
  • Updates: Settings now shows your plugin version and update status.
  • Credits: The cost estimate no longer shows up in Settings or the Prompt Library.
