Adobe Unveils New AI Tools Across Creative Cloud at Adobe MAX

Adobe announced a sweeping set of updates at its annual Adobe MAX conference, focused on giving users more ways to automate complex workflows, edit content, and work across its creative apps. At the event, the company unveiled a series of features, many of them AI-powered or AI-assisted, that will begin rolling out across its suite of creative platforms.

In Photoshop, the new Relight tool offers a way to non-destructively and dynamically add, reposition, and resize light sources in the composition, while Generative Restyle lets users prompt the platform to generate variations of an image’s style. Following its acquisition of Topaz Labs, Adobe is also introducing two new AI image enhancement models: Wonder 4, which combines upscaling, denoising, deblurring, and sharpening into a single operation, and Image HDR.

Adobe Premiere is also getting generative tools that make it easier to prepare raw files for a project, including Enhance Audio, Separate Crosstalk, and Separate Sound Source. Adobe is adding a Generative Remove tool to Premiere in beta, bringing you the power to remove unwanted objects, like boom mics and logos or background distractions, directly on your timeline, according to the company. Premiere is also getting Color Mode, a new color-grading tool starting today.

Expanding AI Agents and Future Roadmap

As for iPhone users who rely on Premiere Mobile, Adobe announced that newly established partnerships with UMG and WMG will bring hundreds of thousands of licensed music tracks to the app for non-commercial use starting today. Premiere mobile is also getting agentic tools soon, including Quick Cuts, which generates a first cut based on the user’s prompt and materials they add.

While it will not launch until 2027, the company previewed MCP support that will enable users to connect Photoshop, Illustrator, Premiere, and After Effects to the AI tools and agents they already use. According to Adobe, Firefly is getting even better at helping users organize and edit their raw material for tasks such as turning travel clips into a vlog or creating social media campaigns.
