TL; DR
  • Adobe has updated Lightroom, Photoshop, Premiere Pro, and After Effects with new AI tools.
  • Photoshop’s Remove Tool now works offline without needing an active internet connection.
  • Lightroom’s Assisted Culling is out of beta with face detection and image stacking.

Adobe has pushed a bunch of updates across its Creative Cloud apps, including Lightroom, Photoshop, Premiere Pro, and After Effects. The updates are rolling out to Creative Cloud subscribers (₹1,675.60 per month for individuals) from this week. The most meaningful change here, in my opinion, is Photoshop’s Remote Tool; you can now use it offline.

What’s New In Photoshop And Lightroom?

In Photoshop, the Remove Tool can now run entirely on-device. It previously required a cloud connection, making it difficult for people to use it on the go or in areas with poor network connection. 

Assisted Culling

Lightroom gets Assisted Culling (out of beta). The feature can isolate individual faces and analyze eye sharpness. It can also recognize whether the subject’s eyes are open or closed, making it significantly faster for editors to pick the best frame in dozens of pictures. 

Combined with the new Stacking feature, which groups similar images together and suggests the best available option, Lightroom is now an even better tool for event photographers. The software also adds Photo to Video, a feature that generates motion from still images using both Adobe Firefly and Google Veo.

The AI Sharpen tool now works directly in the app. In a big relief to professional photographers and videographers, Sony a7R VI RAW files are also now supported across Lightroom, Lightroom Classic, and Adobe Camera Raw.

What About Premiere Pro And After Effects?

One of the most popular video editing software, Premiere Pro gets a Global Audio Mute feature that silences audio across the entire app, in one click. It also gets Marker Search, which retrieves markers by color or name across all open projects, reducing the time that goes into manual search. 

New timeline effects, including Channel Blur, Gradient, and Noise FX, handle compositing and animated texture. Last but not least, there’s Single Word Captioning that lets editors make word-level changes without disturbing the surrounding caption blocks. 

After Effects, on the other hand, replaces the older Roto Brush with Object Matte, which is an AI-powered rotoscoping system that provides four selection tools. It also gets Displacement Maps for surface depth and cinematic Depth of Field across models, meshes, text, and shape layers.
