Today, Adobe has announced that it is rolling out the latest Creative Cloud updates this week across Lightroom, Premiere, Photoshop and more.
Here are the details.
Creative Cloud updates across the Adobe platform
Lightroom
- Assisted Culling: It is now generally available. The Assisted Culling feature comes with enhancements based on close collaboration with Adobe’s photo community. The new capabilities include-
-
- Face View, which isolates each person in a photo and analyses Eyes Open and Eye Sharpness, making it easier to evaluate shots at a glance.
- Stacking automatically groups similar images and recommends the strongest one, so you can manage near-duplicates in a few clicks.
- Customizable filters, precision dials, selection overrides, and more give youcontrol over the entire process.
- Photo to Video brings your images to life, transforming any photo into polished b-roll or reels with AI-generated motion powered by Firefly and Google Veo. Use smart prompts based on your image or input your own creative direction.
- AI Sharpen brings Topaz Labs’ Noise-Aware Sharpen model directly into Lightroom, no exporting required, to recover fine details on flower petals, fur and follage and more with pixel-level precision.
- All Sony RAW formats on the recently announced Sony Alpha 7R VI are now supported across Lightroom, Lightroom Classic, and Adobe Camera RAW.
Premiere
New effects, smarter audio controls, and tighter connections to Stock and Firefly.
- Global Audio Mute lets you silence the audio across the entire app in one click.
- Marker Search lets you pull up any marker by colour or name across every open project.
- With Channel Blur, Gradient and Noise FX, users can handle precise compositing or add organic animated texture right inside the timeline.
- 3D Spineback and Slide transitions give you dynamic motion with professional-grade easing controls
- Single Word Captioning and a more refined Object Mask are also rolling out.
- The new Stock Panel Checkout lets you preview and license Adobe Stock assets without leaving Premiere. When you send multiple assets into a project through Firefly boards, a sequence is created automatically.
- The Sequence Index Panel gives you long-form edit control in one place. A/V Display Mode makes complex timelines easier to read and navigate.
After Effects
- Object Matte reimagines rotoscoping with four AI-powered tools: Object Selection, Quick Selection, Selection Brush, and Refine Edge, replacing the brush-only Roto Brush
- 3D in After Effects is getting a major upgrade. You can now add real surface depth with Displacement Maps, apply cinematic Depth of Field across models, meshes, text, and shape layers, and use scripting APIs for Parametric Meshes
- Import SVG files directly into After Effects as editable shape layers, with gradients, strokes, and transparency all intact.
- New copy-paste workflow from Illustrator brings vector content across without any conversion
Photoshop
Photoshop’s latest updates include Reflection Removal (automatically detects and removes reflections from images shot through glass) and the Remove Tool (access to a generative AI model on-device and offline).
Illustrator
The recently introduced Concept to Vector feature in Illustrator helps professional designers move faster from rough concepts to usable work. Concept to Vector turns sketches or low-quality assets into clean, editable vector drafts, or can generate multiple stylistic variations from a single sketch or source image- directly within Illustrator.
These latest updates will be rolling out this week across Adobe platforms.
