Adobe has added new features to most of its Creative Cloud software, including quite a few that are powered by artificial intelligence.

On Monday, Adobe announced that it had begun rolling out the next batch of updates to its popular design software. The updates, while minimal for each program, are substantial across the entire platform.

As expected, many of these features are powered by AI. This strategy has put Adobe at odds with many of the creatives who use its software.

Here are the updates you can expect to see across the Creative Cloud software lineup.

Lightroom

Most of the updates to Lightroom aren't terribly exciting. A new Assisted Culling tool gives users a quick way to filter images based on their needs, including Eyes Open and Eye Sharpness filters.

Photo to Video allows users to transform photos into b-roll or reels with AI-generated motion. This feature is powered by Firefly and Google Veo.

AI Sharpen utilizes Topaz Labs' Noise-Aware Sharpen model. It can help add fine details on flower petals, fur, foliage, and more.

Additionally, all Sony RAW formats on the Sony Alpha 7R VI are supported across Lightroom, Lightroom Classic, and Adobe Camera Raw.

Premiere

Premiere got some notable upgrades this time around. Most notably, a new Global Audio Mute lets users silence audio across the entire app in one click, while Marker Search pulls up markers by color or name across all open projects.

Single Word captioning gives designers control down to the word level. Edits can be made easily without disturbing the broader caption block.

Two new transitions, 3D Spinback and Slide, offer a way to include dynamic motion with easing controls built into the editing workflow. New organic texture features, such as Channel Blur, Gradient, and Noise FX, can be added right within the timeline.

Object Mask has gained some AI upgrades, making it faster to use with more natural results. It also now allows users to regenerate masks in the event that the media goes offline.

A Sequence Index Panel helps streamline editing, and A/V Display Mode shows video and audio waveforms together in the Source Monitor. These two features are designed to make editing more visually legible, especially when working on long-form content.

After Effects

After Effects, Adobe's motion graphic software, now features an AI-powered Object Matte, designed to help improve the rotoscoping experience. Object Selection, Quick Selection, Selection Brush, and Refine Edge have now replaced the brush-only Roto Brush.

SVG files can now be imported directly into After Effects as editable shape layers. A new copy-paste workflow from Illustrator allows designers to work seamlessly across programs.

After Effects' 3D features are getting a massive upgrade. Designers can add depth with Displacement Maps, shift focus with Depth of Field, and use scripting APIs for Parametric Meshes.

Photoshop

Photoshop got relatively few updates this time around.

Perhaps the most notable change to Photoshop is the inclusion of an on-device AI-powered Remove Tool. According to Adobe, this should help speed up editing as users will not need to wait for a connection.
