Published by Parlour News

Generative AI tools are changing how people create and manage digital content, and a new move now brings some of Adobe’s most-used apps inside ChatGPT. This shift will allow users to work with the same editing and document tools they are used to, without having to open separate software to edit images, create graphics or manage files. However, if Photoshop, Express, and Acrobat now work inside ChatGPT, should users pay for them before trying what the AI already offers for free? Let’s find out. Here’s how you can try Photoshop, Express, and Acrobat for free inside ChatGPT. (HT) Adobe’s decision to integrate with ChatGPT comes at a time when AI services handle tasks that previously required specialised apps.

Adobe’s experimental AI tool can edit entire videos using one frame

Adobe’s experimental AI tool can edit entire videos using one frame

Published by Webster

Adobe demonstrated some of the experimental AI tools it’s working on at its Max conference that provide new ways to intuitively edit photos, videos, and audio. These experiments, called “sneaks,” include tools that instantly apply any changes you make to one frame across an entire video, easily manipulate light in images, and correct mispronunciations in audio recordings. Project Frame Forward is one of the more visually impressive sneaks, allowing video editors to add or remove anything from footage without using masks — a time-consuming process for selecting objects or people. Instead, Adobe’s demonstration shows Frame Forward identifying, selecting, and removing a woman in the first frame of a video, and then replacing her with a natural-looking background-similar to Photoshop tools like Context-aware Fill or Remove Background. This removal is automatically applied across the entire video in a few clicks. Users can also insert objects into the video frame by drawing where they want to place it and describing what to add with AI prompts. These changes will similarly be applied across the whole video. The demonstration …

What’s next for OpenAI, Microsoft, and the race to AGI

Published by Webster

What is AGI? We know it stands for Artificial General Intelligence. That’s a good start. But what does AGI mean, really? And how do we know when we’ve achieved it? For that matter, who decides we’ve achieved it? Does the AGI decide? This week, as OpenAI completed a long restructuring process that sets it up to be even more valuable, the company has also re-done its deal with Microsoft about when AGI happens, who decides, and what happens next. For years, the creation of AGI has been looked at as sort of a singularity moment; now it feels like it’ll just be a Tuesday. On this episode of The Vergecast, David and Nilay talk through all of the OpenAI news, with a special focus on what it all means for Digital Jesus. Sorry, I mean AGI. But before they do, the hosts talk about all the other AI news of the week, including all the announcements from Adobe Max, which range from a series of extremely cool and powerful creative tools to a bunch of …

Figma’s big AI update takes on Adobe, WordPress, and Canva

Published by Webster

Figma is expanding its creative software ecosystem to allow product designers to complete entire projects without jumping to third-party apps. Four new products for website building, AI coding, branded marketing, and digital illustration were introduced at Figma’s Config event today, aiming to fill in any gaps holding Figma back from being an all-in-one platform that supports the entire product design lifecycle.

Figma’s first solution is Figma Sites, a website builder that integrates with Figma Design and allows creators to turn their projects into live, functional sites. Figma Sites provides presets for layouts, blocks, templates, and interactions that aim to make building websites less complex and time-consuming. Additional components like custom animations can also be added either using existing code or by prompting Site’s AI tool to generate new interaction codes via text descriptions, such …
