ONE PIECE OF NEWS

🏄Adobe gets major AI boost

"Whoa, Adobe, you're upping the game!" That was my shocked exclamation after digesting Adobe's mega announcement at the Adobe MAX keynote. The wow factor? Their new tools can now not only generate fully editable vector images but also style those images to match a distinct aesthetic. With features like Generative Match, your existing brand elements can be fed to the AI.

Need a lion face or a scalable desert landscape in your brand style? Click, and it's done. On top of that with the Mockup feature you can snap it onto an image of a shirt or a can in no time.

Illustrator can also recognize the exact font in a picture and turn outlined text back into editable text.

Adobe's Project Stardust, a smart-editing marvel, wants to make tricky editing feel like child's play. Imagine just dragging a suitcase in a photo, and everything (including its shadow) auto-adjusts like magic.

Premiere Pro also got some new tricks up its sleeves. It now transcribes videos in 18 languages and—get this—allows you to edit the video via text! It also detects your “umm”s and “uhh”s and cuts them out seamlessly. Enhancing audio and reducing noise got its one-click solution as well.

Finally, Adobe updated its Text-2-Image generator. It is still behind DALL-E 3 and Midjourney but comes with a cool new feature. You can upload a reference image, and it will generate pictures that match the style.

What about the graphic designers? While it's fantastic news for novices and budget-tight entrepreneurs, seasoned designers might feel the heat. But Adobe views AI as a boon, not a threat. It's about amplifying creativity and reshaping emotions in ads or stories, minus pixel-level fuss.

Drawing parallels with digital revolutions of the past, Alexandru Costin, VP of Generative AI at Adobe, believes embracing this tech evolution will keep folks ahead. "It's a game-changer for content creation," he asserts. And honestly, who doesn't want to be on the winning side?
