The company that pioneered digital image editing is taking design to a new level with Project Primrose, centered around a material that changes color and pattern in real time, redefining 'fashion statement.' Adobe, though, says it's just the beginning.

In Apple's mission to convince us that the iPad works as a laptop replacement, a full version of Photoshop has long been promised, and Adobe has now pushed out version 1.0 of Photoshop for the iPad.

It is now possible to take a talking-head style video, and add, delete or edit the speaker's words as simply as you'd edit text in a word processor. A new deepfake algorithm can process the audio and video into a new file in which the speaker says more or less whatever you want them to.

When Adobe's amazing content-aware fill came to Photoshop, it became incredibly quick and easy to delete unwanted items from photos. Now, the latest version of After Effects can intelligently remove things from video footage as well, making it easier than ever to clean up your shots.

In a rare case of corporate awareness of social responsibility, Adobe has just revealed it is working on an artificial intelligence system that can quickly detect whether an image has been artificially manipulated.​

VR is great at immersing us in gigantic worlds that seem to go on forever – until you bump into the living room wall. Now computer scientists have developed a system that tricks you into walking around in circles in the real world, while thinking you’re moving longer distances in the virtual world.

Adobe has teased a couple of stunning new image and video manipulation tools that will further erode your trust in what you see. ProjectCloak can magically delete objects out of moving video, and SceneStitch uses AI to take the content-aware fill to a new, sometimes surreal level.

Portable document scanners are bulky, and mobile apps generally struggle to capture all the detail in documents written by hand. Adobe has tried to solve both those problems with Scan, a mobile app that delivers crystal clear scans on the fly.

We all know the trademarks of a bad selfie: Unflattering angles, front-camera distortion, distracting backgrounds. Adobe is testing artificial intelligence tools to automatically correct these common issues and infuse selfies with more pleasing portraiture effects.

​Automatic tools in Photoshop and Lightroom have come a long way, but so far, they’ve largely been useful for the nuts-and-bolts aspects of image manipulation. But according to a new research paper, Adobe is well on its way to automatizing the more artistic aspects of image retouching as well.

Adobe has been the leader in photography and graphic design software for many years. For photo editing, Photoshop is undoubtedly the software choice of professionals. But there are several alternatives for hobby photographers and prosumers that want similar functions without breaking the bank.

​Yesterday, Adobe released a 30-second teaser video that asks, "What if you had an intelligent assistant for photo editing?" The company is looking into the possibility of a voice-activated virtual assistant that edits and shares your photos. Think Siri, but for Photoshop.
