In a significant update for creative professionals, Adobe has announced a range of new features and enhancements across its Creative Cloud applications, including Photoshop, Premiere Pro, After Effects, and Lightroom. The company has also expanded the availability of its Assisted Culling tool in Lightroom, introducing new AI-powered capabilities to streamline creative workflows.
Adobe Lightroom’s Assisted Culling tool is now generally available and includes a new Face View feature. This tool can isolate subjects’ faces and analyse Eyes Open and Eye Sharpness, making photo evaluation faster and more accurate. The feature can also automatically group similar images, recommend the best shot, and offer customizable filters, precision controls, and selection overrides.
Lightroom is also receiving a new Photo to Video feature powered by Firefly and Google Veo. The tool enables users to generate AI-created b-rolls and short-form videos from a single image. Additionally, the platform now includes an AI Sharpen feature built on Topaz Labs’ “Noise-Aware Sharpen” model.
Adobe Premiere Pro is introducing a Global Audio Mute toggle that allows users to mute all audio within the application with a single click. A new Marker Search feature helps users quickly find markers by name or colour. Other additions include Channel Blur, Gradient and Noise FX tools, 3D Spinback and Slide transitions, and Single Word Captioning for greater caption control.
The company has also improved existing Premiere Pro features. The Object Mask tool now delivers faster performance, more natural masking, and the ability to regenerate masks when tracking is interrupted.
In After Effects, Adobe has introduced Object Matte, a new feature powered by 4 AI-based tools: Object Selection, Quick Selection, Selection Brush, and Refine Edge. The update replaces the Roto Brush workflow. The software also gains enhanced 3D capabilities with Displacement Maps, allowing creators to add realistic surface depth to projects.
Photoshop users will benefit from an upgraded Reflection Removal tool that can automatically detect and remove reflections from images captured through glass while placing them on separate layers. The Remove Tool now also supports an on-device generative AI model, enabling offline editing capabilities.
