This demo from the Adobe MAX conference last week gave me new hope for practical creative uses of generative AI. You don't need to be a graphic designer, or an Adobe user to get the nuance behind why this is important, and it's all around a the computer vision occlusion problem. As humans (Right? We’re all still humans? Good, just checking.) when we see an object, we can move ourselves around it and change our perspective. By contrast, when you show a computer an image, it cannot simply look around it to see what’s behind it. Show it a flat image of a horse, and it doesn’t know that we would infer there are two legs on the other side. Until now. Project Turntable can do just that, and what’s more, it can draw and adapt the perspective of flat, 2D illustrations for the artist. Check out the video below. This is a great “wow”moment for Gen-AI. As part of Adobe's "Sneaks", there's no guarantee that this will make it to a final product, but it was an incredible demonstration of creative, generative AI in action. #generativeAI #AdobeMAX #ProjectTurntable

Adobe continues to revolutionize the creative landscape with Firefly Image 3, now available in Photoshop (beta). This cutting-edge tool harnesses AI to push the boundaries of creativity with features like Generative Fill and Expand, enabling artists to craft entire scenes from scratch or seamlessly integrate new backgrounds. Whether you're looking to enhance image quality or create variations of your favorite visuals, Firefly Image 3 offers a suite of capabilities designed to streamline the creative process and unlock new possibilities. Additionally, Adobe's recent update to Adobe Premier Pro introduces innovative AI features that further solidify its leadership in video editing and image manipulation. As Adobe integrates AI more deeply into its tools, the potential for creative innovation expands, promising a future where the boundaries of art and technology continue to blur. Stay ahead in the creative game with Adobe's suite of tools—where your next masterpiece is just a click away. #ai #tech #adobe

Ok, so AI in Design has really been a bit of a hit and miss affair, filled with weird hallucinations and unpredictable outputs. In fairness however, Adobe and Canva's AI tools already execute functions that couldn't have been dreamed about only a few years back. But seemingly everyday, new features are being launched that make the design process faster and more flexible - I cant wait to try this out and see what comes next. This will be enormously valuable, specifically in responsive design for UI, as well as the adaptation of brand material into various formats. https://lnkd.in/egbidgAb

🚀 Adobe Just Changed The Game! #Sora, #Runway Gen-2 & #Pika in Premiere?! Adobe has just turned heads with an announcement so compelling, it’s a game changer for Premiere users! 🎨 Adobe has unveiled their new 'Firefly' video model, further building on the anticipation created during last year’s Adobe Max. The feature that caught everyone’s attention was the video inpainting, which allows for seamless edits directly in the footage. 🛠️ Imagine selecting a region with a pen tool, generating a video asset via #AdobeFirefly, and choosing your edit approach like in Photoshop - but for video! The tech tracks camera movements and offers impressive rotoscoping through object detection. It’s not just about hiding a poster on a white wall; it’s about transforming scenes entirely, maintaining the original feel of the footage. 🔗 Furthermore, Adobe is now integrating third-party AI models like Pika and Sora into Premiere. This means you can extend video clips directly in Premiere without the back and forth of traditional methods. Imagine the possibilities with AI-enhanced content creation! 🤔 Curious about the practicalities? The integration allows for dynamic adjustments and extensions, suggesting a seamless workflow previously unimagined. Although Sora's inclusion isn't confirmed for the immediate update, its showcase hints at promising developments. Adobe’s strides in AI video technology are transforming how we create. So don't cancel your Adobe subscription just yet, as there is great news coming down the grapevine, I think, really soon. #AdobePremiere #NAB2024 #VideoEditing #AI #Innovation #CreativeTech

I know it's cool to hate on Adobe these days, especially since their latest update was somewhat disappointing. But compared to all the other companies riding the Gen-AI hype, I think Adobe is playing the long game. Some of the projects they presented at their sneaks event really hit the spot. The ones that I think will be really useful if they can turn them into real products / features are: #ProjectTurntable #ProjectScenic and #ProjectPerfectBlend #adobe #genai #ai #adobemax #design https://lnkd.in/gtEHzZwX

The wait is almost over... Since its launch in March 2023, Adobe Firefly has rapidly evolved, bringing innovation to imaging, design, and vector creation. These Firefly models have quickly become integral to some of the most popular features across Adobe Creative Cloud and Express, such as Generative Fill in Photoshop, Generative Remove in Lightroom, Generative Shape Fill in Illustrator, and Text-to-Template in Express. The creative community has embraced these features, generating over 12 billion images and vectors. This rapid adoption highlights Firefly’s impact and the significance of generative AI in the world of digital creativity. Recognizing that video is the currency of engagement today, Adobe just offered a sneak peek at the upcoming Firefly Video Model, that it seems will revolutionize professional workflows in industry-leading video tools like Premiere Pro.

Gone are the days of painstakingly keyframing every movement, replaced by the magic of AI understanding our creative intent through simple prompts. I recall the countless nights spent in After Effects, tweaking eases and timing until my eyes blurred. Now, with a few words, we can breathe life into static designs, turning text into dynamic animations that dance across the screen. But here's the kicker - this isn't about replacing creativity; it's about amplifying it. The ability to mix and match styles, to use our own images as reference points, means our unique visions can come to life faster and more vividly than ever before. For seasoned motion designers, this tool is like having a tireless assistant, ready to tackle the grunt work while we focus on pushing creative boundaries. For newcomers, it's an open door to a world that once seemed dauntingly complex. As I reflect on this leap forward, I'm filled with excitement for what's to come. We're not just creating animations; we're crafting experiences, telling stories that move - literally and figuratively. To my fellow creatives: our industry is evolving at lightning speed. But remember, while AI can mimic motion, it can't replicate the human touch that makes our work resonate. Our job now is to harness this technology to tell even more compelling stories. So, are you ready to put your ideas in motion? How do you see this technology shaping the future of visual storytelling? #MotionGraphics #AIinDesign #AdobeMax #CreativeTech #Helveticans

It was fascinating to tune into the Adobe MAX event in London yesterday, where they unveiled some exciting tools and features set to roll out soon. Unsurprisingly, there was a focus on how Adobe is integrating more intuitive AI technologies into their products, such as Photoshop and Express, making these tools more accessible to creatives everywhere. One key update is the new Photoshop Beta, which features a ‘Generative Fill with Reference Image’ function. This allows designers to use an existing image as a starting point to generate new, creative elements - it’s a practical tool that can significantly cut down the time it takes from initial concept to final design. The introduction of the Firefly Image 3 Foundation Model is also noteworthy. This new AI model will simplify and enhance image creation, offering creators the ability to produce detailed images more efficiently. It's a step towards making sophisticated design tools more user-friendly and broadly available. As always with AI, these features don't necessarily guarantee improved quality or creativity, but they do serve as crucial time-savers, allowing designers to devote more attention to the work that truly matters to them. These advancements could lead to more dynamic and creative outcomes across all sectors. An interesting watch – do check it out if you get the chance! #AdobeMAX #Design #Creative #Tech
