Adobe integrates advanced AI agents and open protocols across creative suite

Adobe unveiled significant AI enhancements across its suite, including Photoshop, Premiere, Illustrator, and InDesign, during its MAX event in Miami. The company is also expanding its Firefly tool with a new private beta prototyping feature called Builder, alongside an image editing capability that allows localized object modification. Furthermore, Firefly is gaining a new AI video assembly tool, and Adobe is making its AI agents more proactive to better support user workflows. Key updates include a new relighting feature and prompt-based generative style sliders in Photoshop, a professional color grading system and object removal in Premiere, and blemish correction in Lightroom. Beyond these updates, Adobe is releasing a Model Context Protocol (MCP) to allow external chatbots like ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini to access Creative Cloud features, building on existing integrations with Google, OpenAI, and others. Adobe VP Deepa Subramaniam noted that the company is iteratively determining the scope of the MCP, stating they want to support the creative workflow without limiting endpoint exposure. This move follows a recent comment from Figma co-founder Dylan Field, who suggested the MCP is not a perfect standard. Additionally, Topaz Labs, a recent acquisition, is releasing Wonder 4 and ImageHDR models.
