First, an honest clarification: Adobe Photoshop Neural Filters is not a standalone app you can download on its own. Neural Filters are a set of AI-powered filters built directly into Adobe Photoshop, and version 22.5.1 refers to the Photoshop release they ship with. Powered by Adobe Sensei machine learning, they live under Photoshop's Filter menu and handle edits that once took expert retouching skills.

Inside Photoshop 22.5.1 on Mac, the Neural Filters workspace includes Skin Smoothing for natural portrait retouching, Smart Portrait for adjusting expression, gaze and apparent age, Colourise for adding realistic colour to black-and-white photos, and JPEG Artefacts Removal, plus experimental beta filters. Some filters download their models on first use and a few process in the cloud. You get them simply by installing Photoshop itself, which is subscription software with a free trial.

Key Features

• Skin Smoothing evens skin texture while keeping portraits natural
• Smart Portrait adjusts expression, gaze direction, hair and lighting with sliders
• Colourise adds believable colour to black-and-white and faded photos
• Style Transfer and Colour Transfer restyle images in a few clicks
• Non-destructive output options keep your original image untouched

How to Download

1. Download from the official site
2. Start a Photoshop free trial or subscription and install Photoshop from the Creative Cloud desktop app.
3. Open a photo in Photoshop, choose Filter, then Neural Filters, and download the individual filters you want to use.

Is Adobe Photoshop Neural Filters a separate download?
No. There is no standalone Neural Filters installer. Any site selling or giving away a separate "Neural Filters pack" is not offering an Adobe product — the real filters only exist inside Photoshop.

Is it free?
Neural Filters are included with Photoshop at no extra cost, but Photoshop itself is paid subscription software with a free trial. There is no free standalone version of the filters.
