Adobe crams multiple AI tools into its experimental camera app

Project Indigo will have new features like removing distractions and offering immediate photo feedback. Adobe's Project Indigo camera app may be drifting away from its original appeal to smartphone photographers looking for a natural SLR-like look. Instead, Adobe's Nextcam Team is adding a bunch of generative AI tools to its Project Indigo experimental camera app that it introduced last year. The team behind Project Indigo said the goal is to explore how generative AI can assist mobile photographers at the point of capture. Called AI Playground, the initial version will offer four sections, Object Editing, Styles, Photo Guidance and Custom Edit, each of which allows users to lean on AI assistance through several buttons or toggles.
