At Adobe’s annual Max conference, as part of its Sneaks program, it unveiled experimental AI-powered tools that can rotate a flat vector image and create a high-quality image from a pencil sketch.
The Project Turntable feature allows users to change the perspective of a vector image by moving a slider, which previously required completely redrawing the image from scratch. Adobe demonstrated examples of this kind of 2D image rotation at the Max conference, during which the drawn object was correctly displayed in another projection without deformation.
For those who remain faithful to pencil and paper, the Project Remix A Lot tool is designed, which can use AI to generate an editable digital image from a rough sketch. For the created image, the “Layout Options” option is available, which allows you to automatically select the optimal size of the final image depending on its purpose, for example, for posting on social networks or for a blog header.
In addition to vector graphics, Adobe also showed off Project Hi-Fi, a Photoshop plugin that uses part of the user’s workspace as a reference guide for generating images using AI. The principle of Project Hi-Fi is similar to Adobe’s Firefly help, but the plugin has more settings.
Adobe also showed off the Super Sonic pilot, a prototype of AI-powered software that can turn text into audio, recognize objects, and recognize the author’s voice to quickly create sound effects and background audio for video projects.
These tools were shown at the Adobe Max conference in the Sneaks section, which is how the company calls projects in development that demonstrate new technologies and gauges public interest in them. There’s no guarantee that all of them will appear in Adobe’s publicly available products, but many of today’s widely used photo and video editing features are based on similar projects—for example, Photoshop’s Remove tool and Adobe’s Fresco painting app.
