LinkedIn will let your verified identity show up on other platforms

LinkedIn will let your verified identity show up on other platforms

Published by Webster

LinkedIn is expanding its free verification system to the wider web, allowing external sites and platforms to integrate LinkedIn verification rather than building their own tool. Adobe is among the first companies to sign up. Adobe is integrating LinkedIn verification into its new Content Authenticity app and existing Behance portfolio platform, allowing creators who’ve gone through LinkedIn’s verification to display a “Verified on LinkedIn” badge on their profiles. If verified creators use Adobe’s digital Content Credentials tools, their identity will also appear alongside their work whenever it’s shared on LinkedIn. “It’s getting progressively cheaper and easier to pretend you’re someone you’re not online,” Oscar Rodriguez, LinkedIn’s vice president of trust, told The Verge. “You’re also able to do so in a way that looks more credible than ever before. Obviously authenticity is super important for LinkedIn, the platform is founded on this premise of trust.” “Online platforms across the board are facing the same issues around inauthenticity, so we believe that this collaboration with Adobe will be critical in the sense of empowering LinkedIn members …

Logitech’s MX Creative Console now supports Figma and Adobe Lightroom

Published by Webster

Logitech is releasing a major software update for the MX Creative Console it launched last fall, expanding the control panel’s compatibility to several new apps. Now available for download in the Logi Marketplace, the update adds “powerful new integrations and expanded functionality for Final Cut Pro,” while new plugins bring support for popular apps like Adobe Lightroom and Figma. Created in collaboration with Adobe, the new Lightroom plugin allows the MX Creative Console’s large dial controller to be used to straighten images with just a twist, while the keypad’s LCD buttons can be customized with shortcuts for quickly rating and flagging images. The Figma plugin uses the keypad to speed up tasks like aligning text and adjusting spacing and layouts, while the console’s dial can be used to change the size and weight of text. The MX Creative Console shipped last October with a collection of plugins supporting several Adobe apps, including Photoshop, Premiere Pro, Illustrator, After Effects, and Lightroom Classic. Today’s update adds plugins for the cloud-based Adobe Lightroom, DaVinci Resolve, Figma, and the …

Adobe Previews Agentic AI Tools Across Acrobat, Photoshop and Premiere Pro

Adobe Previews Agentic AI Tools Across Acrobat, Photoshop and Premiere Pro

Published by Webster

Adobe shared a sneak peek of several under-development artificial intelligence (AI) agents across its platforms on Wednesday. The San Jose-based software giant is currently looking at how agentic tools can complete manual tasks to free up users to focus on creativity and productivity-based tasks. Adobe is building several AI agents for Photoshop, Premiere Pro, Acrobat, Adobe Express, and even Creative Cloud, that can make the creation and editing process easier for users. Notably, most of the previewed AI agents are currently not available to users, as the company is still working on them. Adobe Previews AI Agents Across Product Lineup In a blog post, the tech giant detailed the different AI agents it is currently working on. AI agents have become somewhat of a loosely used buzzword, with different companies defining it differently. But in essence, it is described as an AI system with a central intelligence and access to external tools that can not only analyse a problem and generate a solution, but can also take actions using tools to complete tasks autonomously. Adobe’s …

Adobe is building AI agents for Photoshop and Premiere Pro

Published by Webster

Adobe Photoshop’s agentic AI, or what the company calls its “creative agent,” will be presented in a new floating Actions panel that will recommend context-aware edits after analyzing your photo. For instance, it will be able to suggest removing people standing in the background or creating a greater depth of field by blurring everything behind the subject. All you need to do is click the suggestion and it will be carried out automatically. Long-time Photoshop users are used to manually manipulating photos by tediously masking people and objects and then creating layers so changes can be made to only certain parts of the image. Adobe has already added AI features that let you extend and fill photos across a larger canvas, or delete unwanted objects or people from the background using Distraction Removal. Adobe’s vision is that Photoshop users will be able to prompt agents with natural language, making it easier to learn the steps needed to perform a task (although the agent will still be able to do it for you). And you can …

Adobe Acrobat AI Assistant Being Upgraded With a Contract Intelligence Feature

Adobe Acrobat AI Assistant Being Upgraded With a Contract Intelligence Feature

Published by Webster

Adobe Acrobat’s artificial intelligence (AI) assistant is getting a new capability that will make it easier for users to get a quick breakdown of complex contracts. Announced on Tuesday, the new feature is called Contract Intelligence, and it adds a new workflow for the AI chatbot whenever a user opens a contract via Acrobat. The company says the feature can surface key details of the contract, which can otherwise get buried in lengthy text. Notably, in November 2024, Adobe released a paper about the SlimLM AI model that can function entirely within a smartphone and process documents. Adobe Acrobat Introduces AI-Powered Contract Intelligence In a blog post, the San Jose-based tech giant detailed the new feature for Acrobat’s AI assistant. The company said it developed the new tool on the basis of the feedback from the Adobe Acrobat Contract AI survey.

Cloudflare Adopts Content Credentials for Image Authenticity

Cloudflare Adopts Content Credentials for Image Authenticity

Published by Webster

Cloudflare has integrated Content Credentials metadata into Cloudflare Images, the content delivery network firm announced on Feb. 3. First proposed in 2021 by the Coalition for Content Provenance and Authenticity (C2PA), Content Credentials identify whether an image was AI-generated, modified with AI, or photographed. About 20% of internet properties use Cloudflare, Content Authenticity Initiative Community Manager Jen Tse pointed out in a blog post. “We now have cameras from hardware manufacturers, editing tools and software, and digital asset managers with Content Credentials baked into them,” said Will Allen, head of AI control, privacy, and media products at Cloudflare, in the blog post. “That last mile where it actually gets to the user across the web, whether they’re on their phone or on their browser—that was missing.” Allen was formerly a vice president at Adobe and helped establish the C2PA and the Content Authenticity Initiative.

What Is Patch Tuesday? Microsoft’s Monthly Update Explained

Published by Webster

On the second Tuesday of each month, Microsoft and other tech companies release patches for consumer and enterprise users. These updates, including bug fixes and security enhancements from the previous month, are known as “Patch Tuesday.” The monthly update is an important opportunity to ensure that security features and applications are up to date. Microsoft details the official Patch Tuesday release in their Security Update Guide. Below, TechRepublic explores its purpose, how it works, and how you can prepare for it. What is the purpose of Patch Tuesday? Patch Tuesday is designed to collect and release many enterprise software updates simultaneously. While some updates are urgent enough to require immediate attention throughout the month, non-urgent or quality-of-life fixes are consolidated for release on Patch Tuesday. “Whether you’re an IT administrator or a general user, Windows monthly updates provide you with the security fixes to help keep your devices protected—as well as enhancements based on your feedback,” wrote Microsoft Senior Director of Communications Chris Morrissey in a 2023 blog post.

Adobe Develops SlimLM That Can Process Documents Locally on Devices Without Internet Connectivity

Adobe Develops SlimLM That Can Process Documents Locally on Devices Without Internet Connectivity

Published by Webster

Adobe researchers have published a paper that details a new artificial intelligence (AI) model capable of processing documents locally on a device. Published last week, the paper highlights that researchers experimented with existing large language models (LLMs) and small language models (SLMs) to find how to reduce the size of the AI model while keeping its processing capability and inference speed high. The researchers, as a result of the experimentations, were able to develop an AI model dubbed SlimLM that can function entirely within a smartphone and process documents. Adobe Researchers Develop SlimLM AI-powered document processing, which allows a chatbot to answer user queries about its content, is an important use case of generative AI. Many companies, including Adobe, have tapped into this application and have released tools that offer this functionality. However, there is one issue with all such tools — the AI processing takes place on the cloud. On-server processing of data raises concerns about data privacy and makes processing documents containing sensitive information a risk-ridden process. The risk mainly emerges from fears …
