Adobe’s Latest Photoshop AI Tools Forecast Future Video Editing Features

Adobe’s Selection Brush Tool

Perhaps the most impressive new AI tool in Photoshop is the “Selection Brush” tool which lets users select an entire area in their image by just brushing over it with their cursor. Once selected, users will be able to create selections with different opacities and edge feathering, which should be helpful for designers compositing and applying filters or fills for their images.

This tool could very likely find a path to Premiere Pro and (or probably) After Effects in the future and would certainly be one to try out and keep an eye on if you’re at all interested in these advanced image-editing type workflows.

Adobe’s Adjustment Brush Tool

Adobe also rolled out another AI-powered image editing tool which is ideal for photographers. This “Adjustment Brush” tool has been out in beta for some time and is now available for all users and lets photographers and designers paint adjustments to their images.

It’s nothing too sophisticated but it is great for making small tweaks to elements like saturation, brightness, exposure, etc. to more finely tune your images.

Again, a tool that could easily find its way to video here soon as well.

Adobe’s Generative Image

Finally, Adobe officially rebranded its Firefly text-to-image feature as the “Generate Image” tool which also moves from beta to full release. Using “Generate Image” users can—of course—simply type in a text prompt to get Adobe Firefly to deliver an AI-generated image in mere seconds.

Adobe Firefly Image 3 Model is the latest version of Adobe’s AI and promises to be one of the fastest and best quality generative AI models on the market, Adobe also shares that its results are commercially safe and protected for you to use.

Of course, this is going to be perhaps the most exciting, controversial, and game-changing tool to make its way to video. Which, as we’ve seen with some of the latest text-to-video AI models from Runway, OpenAI, and others, could be sooner rather than later—especially if Adobe wants to fully keep up with its AI competition.
