Adobe unveils generative AI-powered editing engine Project Stardust

Adobe unveiled Project Stardust, a powerful new object-aware editing engine that uses generative AI to revolutionize image editing, and its latest collection of early-stage innovations. Project Stardust is a powerful new object-aware editor that revolutionizes image editing and magically moves or removes objects simply by clicking on them. With Project Stardust, users can easily select, edit and delete complex elements in any image – enabling them to select persons in a photograph, move them to a different place in the composition and fill in the background where they were previously standing. Users can also change elements like the color of a person’s clothing and the position in which they’re standing – treating any image like a file with layers. In addition, Adobe announced Project Fast Fill, which brings the power of Firefly generative AI to video for the first time. Leveraging Generative Fill technology – which Adobe Photoshop already uses to ease the addition, removal, or expansion of content in images with simple Firefly-powered text prompts – Project Fast Fill offers an early look at what human-prompted generative AI could enable inside Adobe video editing tools including Premiere Pro and After Effects. Other AI-enabled projects Adobe unveiled include photo editing tool Project See Through; video and audio tools Project Dub Dub Dub, Project Scene Change, and Project Res up; and 3D and design tools Project Poseable, Project Neo, Project Primrose, Project Glyph Ease, and Project Draw & Delight.
