Adobe Unveils 10 AI Prototypes, Including Brush Painting on Photo Surfaces

At a glance

Adobe showed 10 AI technologies in development at its Adobe MAX event. The tools that drew the most attention let users paint color onto curved surfaces in photos and copy Photoshop edits to other images automatically.

Key points

1. 1

   Users can paint color onto walls, pillars, and cars in photos while keeping curves and lighting.

2. 2

   Copying an edit such as a shadow to another image lets AI fit it to the new object's shape and position.

3. 3

   A one-line instruction can change a person's clothing or props across a whole video consistently.

4. 4

   Relight, a lighting tool shown last year, has now launched as an official Photoshop feature.

Why it matters

Editing photos and videos is shifting from adjusting individual pixels to giving AI instructions, which may change how designers and creators work.
