Adobe recently introduced several AI-powered tools to Lightroom Classic, marking a practical step forward compared to typical generative AI applications. These new features, added last week, enhance the user experience with useful improvements rather than gimmicks.
Over the past few years, Adobe's major AI headlines have focused on Firefly, the generative AI technology behind tools like Generative Expand and Generative Remove. While Adobe positioned itself as a competitor to OpenAI with its text-to-video generator earlier this year, that product was not yet ready for widespread use.
Recently, Adobe shifted from relying solely on its proprietary AI models to embracing various generative AI options. This move allows users more creative freedom by mixing and matching different AI aesthetics and capabilities.
“Every generative AI model has a distinct aesthetic, and we want to give users more choice and flexibility, especially during the concept phase, to use the right model for their project needs,” Adobe explained. “Whether you need the impeccable quality and commercial safety of Adobe’s models or the unique capabilities and aesthetic styles of the non-Adobe models, you can effortlessly compare outputs to find the ideal style for your creative needs.”
Adobe's AI updates in Lightroom Classic demonstrate a balanced and user-centric approach to AI by expanding choices and focusing on genuinely helpful tools.
