Adobe shows how AI can work wonders on your selfie game

Adobe has been focused on making its mobile apps powerful photo-editing tools for quite some time. At its annual MAX design conference last fall, the company debuted Sensei: a collection of AI and deep learning tools that can analyze an image before applying some pretty hefty edits. To show off just what the system is capable of, Adobe posted a video this week that shows how Sensei can help transform a sub-par selfie into something worthy of Instagram or Snapchat. The video includes some tools we already knew about -- mainly the ability to copy one photo's style and look to another in a couple of taps. Adobe researchers worked with Cornell University to employ AI to take things like color, lighting and contrast you really like in one image and apply it to a boring ol' crappy photo.
