Adobe used its MAX conference to announce a broad round of AI-driven updates across Photoshop, Premiere, Lightroom, Illustrator, InDesign and Firefly. Many features begin rolling out immediately, while support for the Model Context Protocol (MCP) will not arrive until 2027.

Photoshop and Premiere

Photoshop gets Relight, which lets users add, move and resize light sources non-destructively, and Generative Restyle, which produces style variations that can be tuned with sliders. A Quick Compare slider eases before-and-after checks. The beta adds Mockups, Camera Angles, Generative Recompose, Convert to Text Layers, Timelapse and Remove Ambient Effect Only. Following the Topaz Labs acquisition, Adobe also introduces two enhancement models: Wonder 4, which combines upscaling, denoising, deblurring and sharpening, and Image HDR.

Premiere adds Enhance Audio, Separate Crosstalk and Separate Sound Source, a Color Mode for grading, and a beta Generative Remove tool for objects such as boom mics and logos. The new Generative Media Tool brings video, sound effects, soundscape and music generation into the timeline, with Adobe Firefly and partner models from Google, Kling, Runway and Luma.

Premiere Mobile on iPhone gains hundreds of thousands of licensed tracks through partnerships with UMG and WMG, for non-commercial use. Agentic tools, including Quick Cuts and an AI Assistant, are coming soon.

MCP and Firefly agents

The 2027 MCP integration will connect Photoshop, Illustrator, Premiere and After Effects to the AI agents users already work with, such as ChatGPT. Adobe says it runs locally, so layers, vectors, bins and sequences stay editable in native project files.

Firefly gets Firefly Video, Firefly Design, Quick Actions, Firefly Graph and the private-beta Firefly Builder. Its AI Assistant adds Plan Mode for approving an agent's actions and a Model Selector. Adobe is also previewing Always-on agents that handle recurring tasks in the background.

Lightroom adds Glow, Blemish Removal, Open Eyes in beta and improved camera tethering, while Illustrator and InDesign receive new design and collaboration tools, including beta Co-editing.
