Adobe's new app puts Photoshop inside your phone camera

Yet the most impressive demo was much subtler: Abhay Parasnis, Adobe's CTO, was showing a portrait photo he'd taken on a recent trip to India. Each time he selected a new lighting effect, it would cast a different pattern of shadows, highlights, and colors across the subject's face, as if someone was rearranging the room's lighting around him. The Adobe Photoshop Camera app, which is launching though an invite-based preview program today, is the culmination of Adobe's efforts to bring its Sensei AI services to a consumer product, and it's part of a broader attempt to expand the company's software beyond the realm of creative professionals. "For the engineer in me, this is super, super cool," Parasnis says. "Consumers can now express themselves in ways that were just impossible before."
