1) Use Nano Banana in Photoshop (Gemini Nano Banana)

There are two common ways people mean “Nano Banana”:

Option A: Nano Banana inside Photoshop via a plugin (most common)

One popular plugin is listed on Adobe Exchange and also sold on aescripts.

Typical steps look like this:

1. Install the Nano Banana Photoshop plugin (from the plugin’s page).
2. Get a Gemini API key (the plugin usually asks for it).
3. Open Photoshop and open your image.
4. Select the area you want to edit (selection tools).
5. Run the plugin panel/command.
6. Enter your prompt like:
   • “replace background with clean white studio backdrop”
   • “remove glare, keep label sharp”
7. Generate, then pick a result and refine with masks/brushes in Photoshop.

Option B: “Nano Banana” as Adobe’s described integration (tutorial style)

Adobe has learning content showing Nano Banana edits paired with Photoshop tools.

General workflow is the same:

1. Select the area.
2. Run the Nano Banana generation/edit tool (where it appears in your setup).
3. Refine with layers, masks, and standard retouch tools.

2) Use the Contextual Task Bar in Photoshop (the floating bar)

What it does: shows the next best action based on what you’re doing (select, remove, mask, type, transform, etc.).

Show it (if you can’t see it)

1. Go to Window.
2. Click Contextual Task Bar to enable it.

Use it for common jobs

A) Select subject fast

1. Open an image.
2. On the Contextual Task Bar, click Select Subject (if it appears).
3. Refine the selection (Add/Subtract) from the same bar.

B) Remove unwanted objects

1. Make a selection around the object.
2. In the Contextual Task Bar, click Remove (if available).

C) Mask from a selection

1. Make a selection.
2. Click Create Mask (or mask option shown in the bar).

3) Use Generative Fill (AI Fill) in Photoshop

Goal: add, remove, or change something inside an image.

1. Open your image in Photoshop.
2. Make a selection around the area you want to change.
3. Use Selection Brush, Lasso, or Object Selection.
4. Look for the Contextual Task Bar near your selection.
5. Click Generative Fill.
6. Type a prompt (or leave it blank).
7. Blank prompt usually removes and blends.
8. Click Generate.
9. Click the variation thumbnails to pick the best result.
10. Keep it non-destructive: Photoshop generates results on a new generative layer (so you can hide, mask, or delete it).
