Many of the new functions are AI-based and associated with the Firefly app, which is now available for the iOS and Android mobile platforms. This app is designed as an all-in-one destination for AI-assisted content ideation, creation and production. Lightroom’s new Quick Actions interface, which is available for Lightroom on mobile (iOS & Android) and Lightroom for web lets users make detailed, selective edits on-the-go. It includes the new Scene Enhance feature, made specifically for landscape photos, which can accurately detect outdoor elements like the sky, water, ground, and more, and apply edits isolated to each element.

Also available for Lightroom, Lightroom Classic, Lightroom on mobile (iOS & Android) and Lightroom for web is a new Reflection Removal tool, which was introduced in Adobe Camera Raw earlier this year and is now widely available in Lightroom and Lightroom Classic supporting non-Raw formats. This new, adjustable feature uses AI to detect and erase unwanted reflections from glass. Generative Remove can also now detect people who are not the focus of your photo for removal in a single click, again with full user control.

Coming soon to Lightroom and Lightroom Classic is a new set of filters for fast-tracking photo selection with filters like subject focus, eyes focus and eyes open detection to speed up review time. Users will also have the ability to use AI-assisted options to clean up unwanted images, or group similar images together. Photoshop gains improvements in text and layout selections with Cloud‑powered processing to enhance the Select Subject and Remove Background features. With Creative Cloud Pro, you can now jump‑start work in Firefly Boards — a new space to ideate, mood-board, storyboard, and generate text, images, and now video, all within Adobe Firefly.
