  1. Adobe adds agentic AI removal tools across Photoshop, Lightroom, Premiere

    Adobe announced new agentic AI workflows at Adobe Max 2026 that let users remove unwanted objects, people, and distractions across Photoshop, Lightroom, and Premiere Pro with simple prompts. The features use generative fill and video inpainting to automate selections and replacements that previously required manual masking. Adobe says the tools are built for professional precision and control, aiming to give creatives more time for craft. The announcement coincides with a broader push to embed AI agents throughout Creative Cloud.

    Why it matters

    Creative professionals have long relied on content-aware fill and rotoscoping for object removal, but those workflows are labor-intensive, especially in video. Adobe's agentic approach shifts the burden to AI agents that interpret natural-language instructions and execute multi-step edits across apps. The move mirrors industry-wide adoption of generative AI for production tasks and positions Adobe to defend its subscription model against emerging AI-native editors.
