Adobe, the leading software company known for its popular image editing tool Photoshop, recently provided a sneak preview of its new artificial intelligence (AI) feature called Project Stardust. This upcoming feature aims to revolutionize the way users interact with Photoshop by automating the selection of image components.
One of the highlights of Project Stardust is its ability to allow users to change the color of objects in a photo with just a few simple steps. By roughly drawing a rectangle around the desired object and typing in the desired changes, users can easily modify the color of objects in their images. Moreover, the feature makes object removal a breeze. Users can simply point to the unwanted object and instruct Photoshop to erase it.
In a demo video, Adobe showcased the power of Project Stardust by removing a roller bag along with its shadow using a feature known as generative fill. This feature effectively fills in the background with a cohesive and seamless replacement, leaving no traces of the removed object. With Stardust, users can utilize Photoshop as if each element in an image exists on a separate layer, providing greater flexibility and control in their editing process.
Adobe emphasizes that Project Stardust aims to minimize the need for users to be specific about what they want to remove or adjust in their images. The AI-powered feature is capable of making intelligent adjustments even from less precise commands, such as removing blurry people in the background of a photo. While glitches were observed in the early version of Stardust, Adobe assures users that they can expect significant improvements in the final release.
Interestingly, Adobe is not the only company venturing into this territory. Google recently demonstrated a similar feature as part of its Pixel lineup. This highlights the growing emphasis on AI-driven image editing tools and the competition within this field.
Additionally, Adobe had previously released a promotional video that showcased the potential of the generative feature in Photoshop. This powerful tool offers endless possibilities for editing and creating visually stunning images.
As Photoshop continues to evolve and improve, users can look forward to the introduction of Project Stardust and its innovative AI capabilities. With automation and enhanced editing features, Photoshop remains at the forefront of image editing software, catering to the needs of professionals and enthusiasts worldwide.
