Adobe MAX Makes Its Move: Photoshop Can Relight and Clean Up Reflections, and It Wants to Hand the Software Over to AI Agents to Control
At Adobe MAX 2026, Adobe announced a series of AI updates for the Creative Cloud suite, emphasizing that AI is no longer just a button in Photoshop, but is taking a seat at the editing desk. The updates cover photo editing and video editing, and open interfaces to third-party agents. Photoshop adds 'Relight,' which can add and adjust light source position, color, and brightness out of thin air without changing the original image; 'Generative Restyle' can generate multiple style versions based on text and then fine-tune them; features such as 'Remove' have also been upgraded.
