Adobe is revealing all-new AI updates for its Lightroom software. The innovative updates can be found across all the platforms in the Lightroom ecosystem, including Lightroom Classic, and for mobile and web versions.
New Adobe Sensei AI-powered features empower intuitive editing and seamless workflows. There are expanded adaptive presets and additional masking categories for selecting people, including clothing and facial hair. Additionally, new features, including Denoise and Curves in masking, help you do more with less to save time and focus on getting the perfect shot.
The new features are available to use from today and feature the following:
Denoise
Available now for use with RAW files, this new Denoise feature is a powerful tool. If you’re forced to shoot at high ISOs, this will be particularly useful. Denoise uses the latest advanced AI-powered feature and will remove digital noise from your images to improve quality without losing any details. Additional file types will follow soon.
Curves in masking
You can now create incredibly intricate and customised edits of portions of an image using masks. The ability to refine your edits using curves within the mask is a great new feature. This combination provides fine control over tonality and color in specific regions of a photo. You can use this feature in a landscape photo that needs a specific part edited, for example, to bring out shadow detail, correct color, or add creative effects. Or you can refine a portrait by selectively adding warmth or brightening areas without impacting the overall exposure.
New AI Mask Categories for Select People
The ‘Select People’ mask options were introduced in October 2022 and made portrait editing within Lightroom a piece of cake. Now, Adobe has taken it a step further and introduced new categories for masking select portions of people using AI. Now it’s possible to make precise edits to clothing and facial hair by automatically generating a mask for individuals
or groups in any portrait. This means you can select clothes, such as a shirt, and change the color with minimal effort. You can even select a beard in your photo and darken or adjust the texture.
New adaptive presets
These were also rolled out last year and enable you to edit a portion of an image automatically. The newest additions include Polished Portrait, Darken Beard, and Enhance Clothing. These presets allow you to access the power of AI masking with the ease of a single click or tap.
Black & white for video
Last year, Adobe added support for video in Lightroom to enable you to use the same edit controls that you already use
for photography. The latest update now lets you make any videos in black and white, reminiscent of classic film styles, with the tap of a button. This new video feature is a great time-saver, as you can quickly apply the same black-and-white treatment to multiple video clips, which creates a cohesive look and feel.
Other features
Other updated features include AI masking features for use on the web versions of Lightroom, allowing you to take advantage of this technology on the move. There is also a new Content Credentials feature which allows you to add proper attribution and creative transparency. Travel presets and the ability to add borders are now all integrated within Lightroom.
