Adobe is looking to place advanced photoshopping skills in the hands of even first-timers, as suggested in a Sneak previewed ahead of the MAX creativity conference.
Users have grown fond of the company’s magical AI-powered tools like Firefly, which allows them to create artwork and spearhead edits within seconds using text prompts. However, Adobe proves that artificial intelligence can do much more. In a clip, it demonstrated Project Stardust, an experimental feature that can automatically identify objects so that users can shift, delete, or replace them without having to go through painstaking manual steps.
Project Stardust has a “human-level understanding of objects and scenes,” according to Adobe. In its video, it showed how a woman’s luggage could be selected in one click and rolled off to the side. Interestingly, the suitcase’s shadow followed it as it moved around.
The suitcase could also be removed and replaced with an all-new object, like a bouquet of flowers, using the Firefly AI art generator.
Adobe also shared how subjects could have effortless wardrobe changes by clicking on an article of clothing and entering a description.

Additionally, a ‘Remove distractors’ button enables the deletion of people in the background in a single click.

“I don’t even need to tell it who to delete,” noted Aya Philémon, product manager of innovation and exploration at Adobe. “It just understands the assignment.”
Adobe Sneaks are glimpses into innovations that harness Adobe’s evolving technology. While there’s no guarantee they’ll be shipped into official software, these experimental features showcase how the world of creativity can benefit from AI and the ilk.
The company says Project Stardust has a “super low learning curve,” empowering users of all skill levels to bring their ideas to life seamlessly.
More technological advances like Stardust will be revealed at Adobe’s much-anticipated MAX conference, which kicks off on October 10.
