Adobe announced new AI features across its Creative Cloud apps and launched a Model Context Protocol (MCP) to integrate with chatbots.

Summary

At its MAX event in Miami, Adobe announced a major expansion of AI features across its product lineup, including Photoshop, Premiere, Illustrator, InDesign, and Firefly. The Firefly app is gaining a creative AI agent, a prototyping tool called Builder (in private beta), an on-brand graph creation tool, and an AI-powered video assembly tool. Photoshop now offers a relighting feature and prompt-based generative style sliders; Premiere adds a professional color grading system and video object removal; Lightroom gets blink correction and blemish removal. Adobe is also releasing a local Model Context Protocol (MCP) to expose Creative Cloud capabilities to third-party chatbots like ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini. Vice President Deepa Subramaniam said the company is still determining which capabilities to expose and will rely on user feedback. Additionally, Adobe's recent acquisition Topaz Labs is releasing two image models: Wonder 4 for upscaling and denoising, and ImageHDR for converting standard images to HDR.
