Both photo editing and layout design can be time-consuming and labor-intensive for designers. The 2024 Adobe MAX Sneaks introduced some game-changers. Let's dive into the three exciting new features for graphic design:
• Project Perfect Blend — Automatic light and shadow adjustment of portraits or objects, one-click integration to new backgrounds
Using Adobe's existing background removal tool, you can remove the original background of a person or object. But for the latest update, with a single click of the Harmoniser button, the software will automatically adjust the subject's colors, lighting and shadows, blending the subject naturally into the background of your choice. Whether it is an overexposed or underexposed photo, this tool can fix it simply with one click! There are even instant adjustments to the subjects' colors and lighting, which are corresponsive to any new background image if you decide to change later — truly living up to the name of "Perfect Blend"!
• Project Remix A Lot — One-click digitization of sketches, then one-click resizing
By uploading your sketch and using the "Sketch to Layout" feature, you can instantly turn it into an editable digital draft! Once the design is finalized, simply drag to create the right-sized frame, and within seconds, various sizes suitable for social media or digital ad banners will be generated for you. Even custom-shaped designs like tickets can be produced with one click, saving tons of time on redesigns!
• Project Turntable — One-click transformation of 2D vectors into 3D visualizations
The angles of 2D vector images have always been limited, but the latest feature allows you to transform your selected 2D vector into a 360-degree rotatable 3D view with a single click! This new feature allows you to rotate a persona's face to the ideal angle, change a side view to a bird' s-eye view, etc. After adjusting the vector to the desired angle, the 2D vector remains an editable 2D graphic, making it easier to create illustrations, posters, or storyboards!
