You know that moment when you fire up Photoshop after ages, and suddenly, it’s like your brain’s hit the delete button on how to do that one thing? Yeah, we’ve all been there. But guess what? Adobe’s rolled out this slick AI buddy that’s basically your Photoshop sensei. Showcased at Adobe Max London, it slots right into Photoshop, ready to walk you through pretty much any task you throw at it. Find it in the revamped Actions panel—think of it like chatting with a super-smart friend who actually knows what they’re doing.
Just type in your wish, and boom, the AI lays out the steps, even taking care of the tedious multi-step stuff for you. Want to slap a color gradient on text and its background? Easy peasy. It’s not just about saving time; it’s about unlocking Photoshop’s powerhouse features without needing a PhD in graphic design.
And that’s not all. Adobe also gave us a peek at the new-and-improved Firefly app, which is like the Swiss Army knife of AI tools—images, videos, audio, vectors, you name it. The web version’s up and running, with mobile apps coming soon. Plus, they’ve upped their game with Firefly Image Model 4 and 4 Ultra, cranking out higher-res images and scarily realistic human renders. And yes, it’s all commercially safe, so no copyright boogeymen lurking around.
In a first, Adobe’s throwing open the doors to third-party models in Firefly, including Google’s Imagen 3 and Veo 2, and even ChatGPT’s image magic. They’ve got deals in place to keep your data from being used to train these models. It’s a bold step that not only widens the creative playground but also sticks to Adobe’s guns on ethical AI. Pretty cool, huh?
