2. 2

   Firefly is getting Builder, a prototyping tool for quickly making design mockups, in private beta.

3. 3

   Photoshop gets a relighting feature and prompt-based style sliders, while Premiere gets a new color grading system and object removal for video.

AI is moving deeper into photo, video, and design work, which could change how people use creative tools.
