Adobe shows off AI tools that turn photos into 3D scenes

Adobe just showed off four new AI experiments at its annual MAX conference. They cover character design, 3D images, audio mixing, and photo editing. All are tech previews for now, and some may later join Creative Cloud or Firefly.

Project Screen Test lets users chat with an AI character in real time to shape its personality and voice. Sight Span turns a normal photo into a 3D space that can be explored. Sound Bender creates sound effects from a text prompt and mixes them live. Rinse Repeat copies edits already made and applies them to other people in the same photo.

Adobe researcher Gautham Mysore said these interactions make creating more intuitive while giving pros precise control. Tools like these are lowering the bar for creative work and could deeply change the industry.
