Adobe makes it appear that some of their tools make text disappear and make 3D scenes

Generative Expand, Extend, Distraction Removal, and Project Motion: Three New AI-Powered Features from Adobe at Adobe Max

The Generative expand tool that was first introduced in Adobe’s software can be used in InDesign to extend images to fit any layout they want. And Adobe’s new Firefly AI Video Model has introduced a new Generative Extend feature to Premiere Pro. It’s in beta for now, but the Video model will likely be used as the base for other features across Adobe’s Creative Cloud apps in the coming year.

The newObjects on Path feature in Adobe Illustrator will allow users to quickly attach, arrange and move objects along any path shape, giving designers more flexibility in aligning their work. The mockup tool for staging designs is now widely available and the image trace feature has been improved. Adobe claims that it has improved the accuracy of its outputs with cleaner lines.

The first tool to give users more control over the images generated is called Project Scenic. Instead of relying solely on text descriptions, Scenic creates an entire scene that allows you to add and move objects. The final results are used to create a 2D image that matches the 3D plan.

The Remove Tool has a new feature called distraction removal. The Remove feature on the phones lets users quickly remove unwanted objects from their images by brushing over them. The new Distraction Removal feature, which Adobe teased last year, makes it even more like Magic Eraser by automatically identifying common distractions for you, like people, wires, and cables, and removing them with a single click.

Adobe is kicking off its annual Adobe Max conference today with the launch of new AI-powered features across its Creative Cloud apps. New AI features for Photoshop, like automatic background distraction removal and a more powerful Firefly generative AI model, are the biggest announcements, with Illustrator, InDesign, and Premiere Pro also getting new features that can help to speed up traditionally labor-intensive design tasks.

The tools apply to different media, and all of them have the same aim, to automate most of the boring, complex tasks that need to be done for content creation and provide creatives more control over the results. The idea is to enable people to create animations and images, or make complex video edits, without requiring a great deal of time or experience.

Next up is “Project Motion,” a two-step tool that can be used to easily make animated graphics in a variety of styles. The first stage is a simple animation builder which allows creatives to add motion effects to text and basic images, without prior experience in animating. The second stage then takes this animated video and transforms it using text descriptions and reference images — adding color, texture, and background sequences.

“Project Clean Machine” is an editing tool that automatically removes annoying distractions in images and videos, like camera flashes and people walking into frames. It’s almost like an automated content-aware fill, only better as this also corrects any unwanted effects caused by the visuals you’re trying to remove. Clean Machine will make sure that the lighting is still consistent when a firework causes a few seconds of the shot to be overexposed.

Sneaks from D-Density: How to Get Ahead of Measuring CP-Violation in Dark Matter Scenarios

We got an early glimpse of the sneaks, so we will be able to see them later today. None of these tools are available for the public to try out yet, but that may change over the coming months.
