Adobe camera app's new feature will critique your photos using AI
Adobe's Project Indigo can now remove all kinds of backgrounds from photos you snap using the app. Adobe is adding new AI-powered features to its experimental iOS camera app called Project Indigo, launched last year . The app previously offered pro controls, multi-frame super-resolution, and different capture modes, and is now adding features that will use LLMs (large language models) to critique photos and provide editing suggestions.
Key Takeaways
- It's also adding other AI features, like advanced object removal, depth of field generation, and the ability to add different styles to photos.
Marc Levoy, the person heading Adobe's project, had previously developed Pixel's camera chops.
- There are two features in this category.
First is the photo critique, which includes a "professional" opinion about framing, lighting, colors, and emotional impact.
- Project Indigo's new feature gives you toggles for things to remove from an image, like people in the background, trash and trash cans, wires and poles, fences, vehicles, and other clutter.
- With advanced models, the outputs look refined, but style transfer is not a new or useful feature.
Despite Levoy's criticism of the prompt-based implementation, Project Indigo has its own feature that lets you describe your edit.

It's also adding other AI features, like advanced object removal, depth of field generation, and the ability to add different styles to photos. Marc Levoy, the person heading Adobe's project, had previously developed Pixel's camera chops. He said that most generative AI tools provide prompt-based editing and, often, finding the perfect prompt to tweak a photo or get the right result can be a tricky endeavor.
That's why most of the new experimental AI features are buttons that can generate more deterministic outputs. For instance, Google's camera coach feature for Pixel phones , launched last year, offered more generic framing suggestions. Project Indigo's features, by comparison, are fairly descriptive and could help you learn some photography tricks, even if you don't agree with the AI assessment.
There are two features in this category. First is the photo critique, which includes a "professional" opinion about framing, lighting, colors, and emotional impact. The second is capture and edit suggestions, which give you tips about reshooting the photo on how you can change framing, exposure, and objects in the viewfinder.
