Adobe previewed over 10 innovative AI-powered concepts at Adobe MAX, including tools for animating static images, editing audio in videos, adjusting photo lighting, and editing entire videos by modifying just the first frame, showcasing the company's cutting-edge research in creative AI technology.
Adobe Max 2025 is scheduled for October 28-30 in Los Angeles, where Adobe is expected to announce major updates to Photoshop and Lightroom, likely featuring new AI-driven features, with keynotes and Sneak peeks revealing upcoming software innovations.
Adobe has unveiled new AI-powered tools at its MAX 2023 event, including the Firefly Image 2 Model, which allows users to apply the style of a specific image to their content, and the Retype feature in Adobe Illustrator, which can identify and convert fonts. The event also featured talks from artists Sougwen Chung and Yinka Ilori, who discussed the intersection of creativity and technology. Adobe emphasized the importance of maintaining a creative voice and using AI tools to enhance, rather than replace, human ingenuity.
Adobe has teased Project Fast Fill, a generative AI tool for video editing, at its annual creative conference, Adobe MAX. The tool allows users to remove or add objects and change background elements in videos by simply entering text prompts. Project Fast Fill harnesses Adobe's popular Generative Fill technology and automatically applies edits to all frames of the video, adjusting for lighting changes, shadows, and object movement. While no release date has been announced, Adobe describes the tool as a cutting-edge experimental technology that could potentially become a feature in its products.
Adobe has provided a sneak preview of its new AI feature, known as Project Stardust, which automates the selection of image components in Photoshop. This object-aware editing engine allows users to make precise adjustments by simply drawing rough rectangles around the desired areas and typing in the desired changes. The feature can remove objects and their shadows, fill in backgrounds, and even make intelligent adjustments based on less precise commands. Although there are some glitches in the early version, Adobe is expected to rapidly improve the feature, aligning it with other Photoshop AI capabilities.
Adobe is set to unveil a new AI-powered photo editing tool called Project Stardust at the Adobe Max event next week. The tool automatically identifies individual objects in photographs, allowing for easy manipulation and editing. It features a contextual taskbar that detects the next steps in the design process and provides quick editing options. Project Stardust is said to have capabilities beyond what has been shown so far and is expected to revolutionize how users interact with Adobe products. More details will be revealed at the Adobe Max event starting on October 10th.
