The quick answer
Photoshop includes Nano Banana models in Generative Fill. You do not need an extra plugin if your version and account give you access.
The original Gemini 2.5 model has been retired from Adobe products. Look for a supported version in your model menu. Older tutorials may show a different choice.

Keep these in mind
- Check the model menu in Photoshop first.
- Start with one change and a clear example image.
- Check faces, labels, colors, and fine detail before keeping the result.
Which Nano Banana version do you mean?
Nano Banana is a name used for Google’s image models. There is more than one version. Adobe’s current guide lists Gemini 3 with Nano Banana Pro and Gemini 3.1 with Nano Banana 2. It says removal of the older Gemini 2.5 model began in September 2026.
Check the exact name in your menu. Your plan affects access and credit use. A school or company account may also have access rules. A missing model does not always mean Photoshop is broken.

Try one small edit
Save your original. Choose an easy change to check, such as the plain wall behind a chair. Keep a new pose, clothes, and lighting for separate tests. Asking for everything at once makes mistakes harder to trace.
Try: “Make the gray wall pale blue. Keep the chair, floor, and lighting as they are.” The words guide the model. They do not guarantee that every detail stays the same.
- Open your image and mark the area to change.
- Choose Generative Fill and open its model menu.
- Choose a supported Gemini image model.
- Type your request. Check the credit cost before starting.
- Compare the result with the original.

Show the AI a useful example
A reference image is a picture you give the AI as an example. Say what it should use: “Take the chair from image 1 and the room from image 2.” Leave out pictures that do not help with this request.
Adobe’s instructions for partner models tell you to enter the prompt before adding references. The number of pictures allowed depends on the model. If your buttons look different, check the current help page and your Photoshop version.

Check the picture before keeping it
Look at the subject as well as the part you changed. Check small text, skin, shiny edges, and fabric. Keep the original on a separate layer. A mask can hide a changed detail and show the original beneath it.
An extra Photoshop tool may make comparing models or adding results easier for you. Try it on a real task. The model name alone does not tell you the image size, cost, or how much fixing the result will need.
