Adobe, a leading software company in the creative industry, has recently introduced new generative AI tools to its Lightroom platform. These tools include Generative Remove and Lens Blur, which aim to make photo editing easier for both professional creatives and inexperienced users alike.
Generative Remove is a powerful object removal feature that uses Adobe's Firefly AI model. It allows users to paint over unwanted objects or people in images and then delete them with a click of a button. The tool generates three different variations of backgrounds for users to select from, ensuring the most natural-looking result.
Lightroom's Generative Remove has been impressing many with its ability to remove objects seamlessly without leaving any strange artifacts behind. It handles complex and detailed backgrounds well, making it a valuable addition to Adobe's photo editing suite.
Lens Blur is another new AI-powered tool that can apply various blurring effects to any part of an image with a single click. It automatically estimates field-of-view depth to make background blur appear more natural. Lens Blur operates like a filter, allowing users to apply automated presets or adjust specific parameters until they get their desired effect.
Google Photos, another popular photo editing app, also offers an AI object removal feature called Magic Eraser. While it seems faster with its results, overall images from Adobe's Generative Remove tend to stack up better due to more accurate handling of complex backgrounds and objects.
Adobe has been integrating Firefly-powered tools into several of its creative software applications since launching the generative AI model last year. These new Lightroom additions could help attract new users who might find Adobe's professional-focused interface intimidating.
