Adobe Adds AI Tools Across Creative Cloud in Mid‑June Update

Automating culling, rotoscoping and reflection removal speeds editors' workflows; it also brings third‑party model integrations and on‑device AI for performance and privacy.

Overview

  • Adobe began rolling out the update the week of June 15, 2026, delivering new features across Lightroom, Premiere Pro, After Effects, Photoshop and Illustrator.
  • Lightroom and Lightroom Classic now include Assisted Culling, Select Subject v5, Photo to Video that uses Adobe Firefly and Google Veo, and AI Sharpen powered by Topaz Labs’ Noise‑Aware Sharpen model, plus full Sony a7R VI RAW support.
  • Premiere Pro gains a rebuilt Colour Mode, a Sequence Index panel, Global Audio Mute, Marker Search and single‑word captioning while After Effects replaces the brush‑only Roto Brush with a four‑tool AI Object Matte for faster rotoscoping.
  • Photoshop adds an on‑device Remove tool and a Reflection Removal feature that isolates removed reflections on separate layers, and Illustrator’s new Concept to Vector converts sketches or low‑res art into editable vectors.
  • Adobe is blending its Firefly tech with third‑party partners and adding on‑device options, and the staged, hardware‑dependent rollout means feature access and performance will vary for creators and may affect workflow, latency and IP concerns.
