Adobe’s NEW AI Tools Are AMAZING!
Adobe Photoshop has new AI features that are coming soon.
Adobe has shared its battle cry in response to AI art.
At the Adobe 2022 Max conference, the buzzword in everybody’s loops is AI art.
And Adobe is understandably paranoid about this new technology.
Scott Belsky the chief product officer said that AI should be your co-pilot in Creative Endeavors.
We want it to benefit creatives not replace them.
But if you’re reading through the lines and being particularly facetious and instead of them saying we want it to benefit creators and not replace them I would say that we want to continue to milk creators and not destroy our business model.
When Photoshop was released many people were claiming that the art made in Photoshop was not real art.
And now it’s interesting to see the argument.
An artist says that only art made in Photoshop is real art and art made with AI is not real art.
And in the future, we may go even further.
Art made in AI is not even art and only the computer overlords who provide us with seven pixels for our daily bread is the real art.

Adobe Photoshop New AI Features
Adobe has announced a number of interesting AI-backed features.
They have said we are investing our research and product design talent to develop an approach that centers on the needs of creatives by integrating generative AI in Adobe Creative tools.
So let’s take a look at some of the interesting AI tools that they’ve added to Photoshop.
1. Generative AI to Create New Parts of An Image
I would like to commend Adobe on this tool that they have integrated where they allow you to use generative AI to create new parts of an image.
For example, we’ve got this rather intense-looking tribal fellow.
And you can see that they draw an area onto his shoulder and type in the prompt bar now.
And variations are generated from which you get to choose a few options.
It’s extremely similar in the UI to DALL•E.
Now, the next tool I am particularly excited about as someone coming from a graphic design background.
2. Unique Text Effects
There is this effect in Adobe Express which allows you to create unique text effects which marry perfectly with your design.
You can see here they’re typing in Tokyo.
Here, they’ve added the prompt colorful electric cables hanging.
And they’ve got this new typeface which has been generated using some artifacts of this prompt.
So I think this is a particularly creative and interesting use of AI in design to create unique fonts.
I think there is a huge opportunity for a designer to use this tool to create your own unique font and sell them.
4. Change the Time of The Day
And there are a couple of interesting AI features they’re adding to Lightroom where you’ll be able to change the time of day in a scene.
As you can see here in this example, they’re updating the scene from daytime to night time and they’re expanding out an image
using generative AI.
I would like to commend Adobe on integrating some of the new AI Technologies into their existing tools in a creative and useful way.

5. Photo Restoration
Another tool that they’ve introduced into the Adobe Suite is photo restoration inside of Photoshop.
So you can take an image like this.
And turn it very quickly into an image like this.
There is a lot of talk about responsible AI and I’ve heard people claiming if is it more likely that climate change or AI is going to end humanity.
And I for one would say it’s more likely that it’s going to be AI.
Adobe is rightly fearful and excited about the new AI technologies.
On one hand, they’re integrating excellent new capabilities into their software.
On the other, it could spell the end for a number of professions.
Quote from the Adobe Conference
I would like to finish by reading a quote from the Adobe conference that I think is beautifully articulated.
Art has always been a mixture of craft and other qualities
harder to define.
Style, judgment, and I, the history of art is an unbroken series of technical innovations.
The development of ceramic kilns, the invention of oil paints, and the debut of digital photography.
All of this accelerated these crafts, as craft became less of an obstacle to the role of a creator, their vision, story, and imagination becomes more not less important.
We believe the same will be true with generative AI.
And we’re excited to develop AI tools that will help you express your personal vision.
I notice inside of myself, there is a strong part of me that wants to completely agree and align with this vision that adobe has laid out for AI art.
The fact they are removing some of the barriers between imagination and execution can only reveal more creative genera to us.
And I want to empower all creators out there to adapt, learn, and master these new technologies to drive us forward to a new age of visual creation.
We will look back upon this time as an epoch and a new era of creativity.
We will see a seismic cultural shift toward a new type of art.
It’s an exciting time to be alive and I’m inviting you along for the ride.
Final Thoughts
If you’re interested in learning more about AI art I have an entire course on Midjourney and DALL•E.
Where I take you through every single one of the features.
And we’ll make art every single step of the way.
So if you’re interested in being part of this revolution join me on a journey into the world of AI art.
Thank you for watching.

Have a delightful day.
