Accelerating Creativity with Adobe Sensei
As part of this Creative Cloud release, Adobe continues to embed
artificial intelligence capabilities across the entire system of
applications and services with Adobe Sensei. These Sensei-powered
features enable creators to go from concept to completion much
faster and bring the power of advanced technology and deep learning
to accelerate the creative process.
Next Generation Creative Applications
- Adobe XD CC: Developed in open
partnership with the design community through a public beta, Adobe
XD is the all-in-one cross-platform solution for designing and
prototyping mobile apps and websites. Created by designers for
designers, Adobe XD delivers the necessary speed, precision and
quality to go from static comps or wireframes to fully interactive
prototypes in minutes.
- Adobe Dimension CC: Previously
Project Felix, Dimension gives graphic designers the power and
flexibility of 3D with the ease and simplicity of working with 2D.
Dimension enables graphic designers to quickly create and iterate
on photorealistic 3D images to realize branding and packaging
designs in real-world settings.
- Adobe Character Animator CC:
Previously in beta and launching today, this 2D animation tool
helps bring still image artwork from Photoshop or Illustrator to
life. Character Animator has been showcased on primetime shows
including “The Late Show” with Stephen Colbert, “The Simpsons” and
Jim Cramer’s “Mad Money.” New features include pose-to-pose
blending, new physics behaviors and visual puppet controls. Adobe
Sensei also helps improve lip-sync capability by accurately
matching mouth shapes with spoken sounds.
All-New Lightroom CC Photography Service
Lightroom CC is Adobe’s all-new cloud-centric photo service for
editing, organizing, storing and sharing photos – from anywhere.
Designed for professionals and enthusiasts, Lightroom CC features a
more intuitive user interface, enables powerful editing in full
resolution, and automatically synchronizes changes across mobile,
desktop and the web. Lightroom CC makes organizing photography
collections easier with features like searchable keywords that are
automatically applied without the hassle of tagging. And Lightroom
CC makes it simple to share photos on social media.
Adobe also announced performance and editing updates to
Photoshop Lightroom Classic CC, previously known as Photoshop
Lightroom CC, which continues to focus on a more traditional
desktop-first workflow. More information about Lightroom CC is
available in this press release.
