Adobe Illustrator continues to evolve to meet the needs of its users, and the latest release addresses some of the most requested features from the creative community, including more responsive snapping, enhanced color control in the eyedropper tool, and the ability to save and share patterns in bulk for easier collaboration with teams and clients.

Plus, Adobe Illustrator’s creative AI features speed up your workflow: start with a vector shape, add detail with Generative Shape Fill, and create seamless, customizable patterns with Pattern Generation from Text.

And the generate extension for Adobe Illustrator (Beta) lets you seamlessly extend vector graphics and artboard dimensions beyond their original bounds, resizing artwork in seconds while preserving its style.

Adobe Photoshop Updates

Adobe Photoshop is packed with powerful new features that help you work more efficiently with precise selections, instant color adjustments and smarter workflow suggestions.

The improved Object Selection Tool in this update helps you quickly and accurately select intricate details on a person, such as hair, clothing, and facial features. With just a few clicks, it automatically detects and isolates hard-to-select details, saving you time and manual effort. Try the new Object Selection Tool in Adobe Photoshop desktop and web.

Adjust Color streamlines color editing workflows by automatically identifying the most prominent colors in an image and providing controls to modify colors directly on the canvas.

Additionally, the redesigned Hue/Saturation panel now features larger swatches and sliders, giving you more control over how you precisely adjust color. Change the overall mood of an image or make selective color edits precisely and intuitively without the need to manually apply masks or adjustment layers.

Work smarter and faster with the improved Actions panel in Adobe Photoshop (Beta).

It helps you apply complex, multi-step edits more efficiently, making difficult tasks easier, helping you find inspiration and accelerating your workflow.

Creator protection and attribution initiatives

One of the biggest concerns expressed by today’s creative community is the misuse or impersonation of their work online. Just as artists have long signed their paintings and sculptures to claim their authorship, today’s creators need a secure, modern way to protect their work.

So Adobe has launched a public beta of Adobe Content Authenticity, a free web app that lets creators attach content credentials to their work, which can include details like a verified name (via the “Verified on LinkedIn” feature) and social media accounts.

The app also allows users to indicate that they do not want their work to be trained against generative AI models. To support this feature, Adobe is working closely with policymakers and industry partners around the world to establish an effective, creator-friendly opt-out mechanism for generative AI using content credentials.

Supporting creators in the AI ​​era

While generative AI holds great promise for the creative industries, concerns and uncertainties remain. Adobe states they want to support creators more tools than ever before to protect their integrity and their work.

Adobe Fresco is introducing the option to include “Created without generative AI” information in content credentials to indicate that the artwork was created by a human, with the goal of helping artists get the recognition they deserve for the time, experience, and unique style they put into their artwork.
