Introduction to Adobe’s AI-Powered Creative Agents
Adobe is revolutionizing the way we edit photos and videos with the introduction of its AI-powered creative agents. These agents will be integrated into popular Adobe applications such as Photoshop and Premiere Pro, making it easier for users to create stunning visual content.
What are Creative Agents?
Creative agents are AI-powered tools that can analyze your photos and videos, and suggest context-aware edits to enhance their quality. For example, in Photoshop, the creative agent can recommend removing people standing in the background or creating a greater depth of field by blurring everything behind the subject. All you need to do is click the suggestion, and it will be carried out automatically.
How Creative Agents Work in Photoshop
Long-time Photoshop users are familiar with manually manipulating photos by tediously masking people and objects, and then creating layers to make changes to specific parts of the image. However, with the introduction of creative agents, this process will become much simpler. Adobe has already added AI features that allow you to extend and fill photos across a larger canvas, or delete unwanted objects or people from the background using Distraction Removal. The creative agent will take this to the next level by allowing you to prompt it with natural language, making it easier to learn the steps needed to perform a task.
Advanced Features of Creative Agents
In addition to suggesting basic edits, creative agents can also perform more complex tasks. For instance, you can ask the agent to clean up an image and add a text box behind a person, and it will list out the steps needed to achieve this, including removing background people, auto-brightening, removing distracting objects, creating a "subject" layer, creating a text layer, and organizing layers. This feature will make it easier for users to learn new skills and create more complex edits.
Creative Agents in Premiere Pro
Adobe will also be introducing creative agents to Premiere Pro, building on the new Media Intelligence feature that analyzes videos for objects and composition. The agent will allow you to direct it to make a rough video cut, and will eventually help editors refine shot choices, adjust color, mix audio, and more. Additionally, Adobe has launched Generative Extend, which uses AI to add seconds to your clips to help fit a transition.
The Future of Creative Agents
While AI can’t replace human creative inspiration, it can make educated guesses to help you get your project off the ground. With your input, creative agents can help you learn how to perform complex tasks with a few simple keystrokes, helping you grow as an editor. Adobe will introduce the technology behind the first AI agent, which will be for Photoshop, at its Max event in London on April 24th.
Conclusion
Adobe’s creative agents are set to revolutionize the way we edit photos and videos. With their ability to analyze content and suggest context-aware edits, they will make it easier for users to create stunning visual content. Whether you’re a seasoned editor or just starting out, creative agents will help you take your skills to the next level. As Adobe continues to develop and refine this technology, we can expect to see even more exciting features and capabilities in the future.
