Asus ProArt displays are the first to be validated for Adobe Premiere.

The new Adobe Premiere Color Mode, which is available in the latest Premiere beta, is a color grading system built inside the editing program replacing Lumetri. The Asus ProArt validation extends to full HDR editing workflows with the new Premiere feature.

I tested Adobe’s Rotate Object feature and it’s pretty sloppy.

The new tool in Photoshop Beta lets you turn 2D images into 3D-rotatable objects. I tried it out on a handful of items but wasn’t too impressed with the results. It took normal objects and gave them a very AI-generated look. It’s fun but not super useful.

Adobe CEO Shantanu Narayen is stepping down after 18 years.

Narayen told investors today that AI-first products “should be our next billion-dollar business,” and that he will leave the role he’s held since 2007 once the board names a successor. He’s overseen its Creative Cloud rollout, big bets on the future of AI, and its abandoned $20 billion attempt to acquire Figma.

Narayen:

The next era of creativity is being written right now — shaped by AI, by new workflows and by entirely new forms of expression. Adobe has never waited for the future to arrive. We’ve anticipated it. We’ve built it. And we’ve led it.

Lightroom or bust.

Apple’s new Creator Studio subscription is pitched as an Adobe alternative, but a lot of Verge commenters made it clear: without a decent equivalent to Lightroom, it won’t work for most photographers.

Nevpaurion:

For the love of god make a lightroom alternative so i can stop giving adobe my money.

Project Indigo now supports the iPhone 17’s selfie camera.

Fans of Adobe’s experimental camera app can finally use it with the front camera on the latest iPhones. Project Indigo was slow to support the iPhone Air and 17 series, at least partly due to problems with the new selfie camera those devices employ. Adobe finally rolled out support for those phones in late October with the selfie camera disabled. Now, selfies are back on the menu with an update that arrived yesterday.

Read it and weep.

This amusing “ad” ribbing Adobe’s widely detested subscription model is a good reminder that The Onion offers physical printed newspapers again, and that good satire is worth supporting.

Graphic design is AI passion.

Doing live demonstrations of developmental AI features is always a risk, and the hiccups can be pretty funny. The host who showcased how Adobe Express’s new AI assistant can edit designs during today’s Max keynote was certainly amused (and surprised) that it turned a photograph into a cartoon — a change she hadn’t asked for.

The specific prompt was “change this raccoon to be wearing a vampire halloween costume with fangs, holding a pumpkin, and remove his sunglasses.”

YouTubers will be soon be able to make use of Adobe Premiere editing tools through a new hub, Create for YouTube shorts. It’s launching soon, both inside the new Premiere mobile app and built directly into YouTube itself.

Expect “exclusive effects, transitions, templates and more.”

But it’s not for the faint of heart.
