Adobe teases AI tool that “uncrops” your photo, recreating content beyond its borders

by Add Comment

Every year at Adobe Max, Adobe’s annual creativity conference, we get a chance to take a peek at the company’s latest and future products. At this year’s conference, Adobe presented Project All of Me, which is able to “uncrop” your photo. In other words, it expands it and uses AI that fills in for any missing details in your shot, including your subject’s body, clothes, footwear; and the background behind them.

The technology is impressive, allowing you to expand your shot with only a few clicks and get results in a matter of seconds. But there’s even more this tool can do, and I find all of it really fun! So, let’s dive in and see what may come to some of Adobe’s apps in the future.

Between the After Effects and Photoshop announcements and now this, it seems to have turned into Adobe day around here, but Adobe has now opened up registration for their annual Adobe Max event for 2021. Due to the global pandemic, the event is being held online again and registration is completely free.

Announced earlier in the year, the event is happening from October 26-28th. Amongst the speakers are YouTubers, filmmakers, video editors, photographers, graphic designers and a bunch of other creative artists we can absorb knowledge and inspiration from.

It has become clear that we won’t attend any of this year’s major events due to the COVID-19 pandemic. In fact, even some of the next year ones. The same goes for Adobe Max 2020, but hey – it will at least be held online. And a great thing for all of us is that it’s free for everyone. Adobe has announced that registrations are now open and revealed more information about this year’s events and key speakers.

Adobe’s new AI feature can detect image manipulations and undo them

This year’s Adobe MAX brought some interesting announcements and new apps. One of the new features introduced at the Sneaks event really caught our eye. It’s called Project About Face, an AI-powered tool that can detect if the image has been manipulated, It also shows where the manipulation has been applied and even helps you to revert back to the original, unaltered photo.

Adobe’s new Moving Stills sneak peek lets you move the camera after you’ve shot the photo

Object recognition and AI has come such a long way in such a short amount of time that effects that used to take hours can now be automated in just a few seconds. Adobe MAX 2018 is going on right now and they’re showing off one example of this in their Sneak Peeks. It’s called Moving Stills, and it’s insane how well it works for a concept demo.

Basically, you feed in a still photograph, click a button and it will automatically figure out the depth of objects in the scene. Then it will animate a virtual camera through the scene to simulate a real camera movement. And it can do it with no intervention. But you can also override things if you wish.

Adobe Scene Stitch is content aware fill on steroids – Uses AI and image databases to fill holes

by Add Comment

This is one of those features that many of us wish was added years ago. It’s common for photographers to fill in holes from one photograph, of things they want to remove, from sections of another. I’ve done it many times myself to fill in undergrowth in forests or even rebuild entire moss-covered walls behind my subject on location. But it’s a pain, and takes forever to do well.

Shown off at Adobe MAX, Adobe’s new Scene Stitch technology aims to solve this. Essentially, it works like Content Aware Fill. You select an area you wish to replace, and Photoshop figures out what to put in its place. Instead of looking only at the loaded image, though, it will look at a huge database of images. Then presents several possible options to fill the space.

Adobe’s new “Cloak” technology is like content aware fill for video

by 4 Comments

The Adobe MAX conference just ended today, and its closing brought about some very cool sneak peeks of Adobe tech. One such piece of new technology is what Adobe call “Cloak”. It allows you to remove unwanted things from videos. Essentially, it’s like Content Aware Fill for video. And it’s pretty amazing.

Adobe do warn, though this is an early look at the technology. It may or may not be features that they integrate into products down the road. But I can’t imagine that this won’t be added into After Effects (in which the tech was demonstrated) or Premiere somewhere down the line.
