Iāve been working in Photoshop for years, and like many of you, Iāve been fascinated (and sometimes frustrated) with the new wave of AI tools. Theyāre powerful, but hereās the problem: almost every AI generator lives in a browser tab. That means constant exporting, uploading, downloading, and jumping back and forth which kills creativity.
Thatās exactly why I built Aslanana: an AI plugin that lives inside Photoshop no extra windows, no copy-paste dance , just AI tools where you already work.
⨠What You Can Do With Aslanana
Once you install the plugin, youāll see a panel inside Photoshop. From there, you can:
Generate imagesĀ with top models like Flux Pro/Max, Nano Banana, Seedream 4, Ideogram, Imagen Fast/Ultra, and more.
Create short videosĀ with models like Google Veo 3, Dreamina 3.1, Kling v2.5, and WAN 2.5. Perfect for quick product animations, motion tests, or social content.
Upscale imagesĀ with Real-ESRGAN, including a Face Enhance mode that makes portraits look natural.
Swap facesĀ realistically using reference photos.
Fix AI skinĀ that looks too āplasticā and bring back pores and textures.
Use Prompt StudioĀ to refine and test prompts until you get the result you want.
All of this happens right in Photoshop meaning you can go from prompt ā result ā retouch ā final export without ever leaving your canvas.
š” Why This Matters
When I first tried Flux Pro and Seedream in Photoshop through Aslanana, I realized how much time I was saving. Normally, Iād spend half the session bouncing between sites, managing credits, and re-uploading files. With Aslanana, the results drop straight into a Photoshop layer and I keep flowing.
Itās not just about speed, though. Itās about keeping your creative focusĀ where it belongs: in Photoshop.
š How It Works
You buy the plugin (monthly, yearly, or one-time).
You connect your own Replicate API keyĀ (so youāre in control of usage costs).
You start generating, animating, and editing inside Photoshop.
Replicate handles the processing, deletes inputs and outputs after about an hour, and your data isnāt stored by me. Simple, safe, and transparent.
šÆ Who Itās For
I built this for:
DesignersĀ who want AI without leaving Photoshop.
Content creatorsĀ who need quick, engaging images and videos.
E-commerce sellers and agenciesĀ who want fast product renders.
ArtistsĀ who just want to play with new AI models directly in their favorite tool.
šø Pricing
Monthly: $9/month
Yearly: $99/year (best value, 2 months free)
One-time: $29 (includes 3 months of updates, no future updates)
Every plan includes updates, installation guides, a license key, and priority support.
ā Final Thoughts
For me, Aslanana isnāt just a plugin itās the workflow I wish existed years ago. If youāre tired of juggling tabs and you want the best AI models built straight into Photoshop, this is it.
