Adobe has announced a major round of Creative Cloud updates, with Lightroom and Photoshop leading the way. The focus this time is on speed, AI-powered precision, and tools that help creatives move from capture to final result faster, especially photographers dealing with high-volume workflows or editing on the go.

In Lightroom for mobile and web, a new one-tap tool called Scene Enhance intelligently detects and adjusts sky, water, and other landscape elements for cleaner, more balanced edits. Meanwhile, desktop users finally get access to the long-previewed Reflection Removal feature. This AI-powered tool automatically detects and erases glare or unwanted reflections from glass. Another highlight is the expanded Generative Remove function, which can now eliminate people and distractions in a single click. Adobe is also teasing a powerful new AI photo curation system, with filters for subject sharpness, eye clarity, and image grouping to help photographers, especially event shooters, streamline their workflow during import or catalog review.

Photoshop also gets meaningful upgrades, including Dynamic Text tools for quick type formatting inside bounding boxes, and faster, more accurate Select Subject and Remove Background features thanks to improved cloud processing. These enhancements are designed to speed up complex edits without compromising precision.
