Adobe announced a new integration with Slack, adding more than 70 tools from its popular apps to the communication service. The capabilities include features from Adobe Firefly, Adobe Express, Photoshop, Premiere, Acrobat, InDesign, Illustrator, Stock and Lightroom, which means a pretty comprehensive set of new work can happen without leaving Slack. If that number sounds familiar to you, it may be because Adobe announced a ChatGPT plugin that allows users of OpenAI's platform to access "more than 70 tools across Adobe's creative and productivity suites." The implementation appears to be near-identical between the two platforms. Adobe for Slack is available now for Slack Business and Enterprise customers on web, mobile and desktop versions of Slack. It follows similar integrations with Canva and Figma that were introduced when Slack first added Model Context Protocol support to Slackbot in June.

Photoshop seems to be all about the AI tools these days, and the latest release certainly has its share of those. However, Adobe is finally introducing something else that Photoshop users have demanded for a long time: lighting controls like those in Lightroom. That will help save time for simple edits by allowing creators to do RAW-quality edits without leaving the Photoshop app. The new Light Adjustment Layer promises "professional-grade lighting controls" in a non-destructive layer. Those controls include exposure, contrast, highlights, shadows, whites and blacks, allowing for "camera raw-level results without ever leaving your Photoshop layers workflow," Adobe explained.

Now, the company is bringing nearly its entire suite of creative apps to ChatGPT with the introduction of the Adobe plugin. All told, once you've added the extension to your account, you'll have access to more than 70 of Adobe's tools, including Photoshop, Premiere, Acrobat, Lightroom, Illustrator and InDesign. To add the extension, open ChatGPT's settings menu and navigate to the plugins section, then select the Adobe one. You can then invoke it by typing @Adobe into ChatGPT's prompt bar, followed by your request.

The company is also previewing an upgraded creative AI studio experience. Earlier this year, Adobe debuted Firefly AI Assistant, an AI agent that could work across its family of Creative Cloud apps to complete multi-step workflows on behalf of users. Today, the company is previewing an updated Firefly creative AI studio experience that expands the capabilities of that software, starting with an upgrade to AI Assistant's ability to carry context forward. A new Elements feature allows users to save characters, locations and objects they've previously generated to reuse in future outputs. Adobe suggests this capability will allow AI Assistant to better maintain consistency across stories, campaigns and projects that evolve inside of Firefly.

Building customer trust with on-brand content production has become a strategic imperative. Storytelling is core to humanity's DNA, stemming from our impulse to express ideals, warnings, hopes, and experiences. Technology has always been woven through the medium and the distribution: from early humans' innovation of natural pigments and charcoals for cave paintings to literal representation by the camera. The landscape of storytelling continues to shift under our feet. Social and streaming platforms have multiplied, audiences have fragmented, and our demand for fresh, unique media is insatiable. A recent McKinsey podcast cites that we are watching upwards of 12 hours of video content daily, often on multiple devices and multiple platforms.

What we've been getting wrong about AI's truth crisis Even when content is revealed to be manipulated, it still shapes our beliefs. The defenders of truth are hopelessly behind. What would it take to convince you that the era of truth decay we were long warned about--where AI content dupes us, shapes our beliefs even when we catch the lie, and erodes societal trust in the process--is now here? A story I published last week pushed me over the edge. It also made me realize that the tools we were sold as a cure for this crisis are failing miserably. On Thursday, I reported the first confirmation that the US Department of Homeland Security, which houses immigration agencies, is using AI video generators from Google and Adobe to make content that it shares with the public.

GPU prices could follow RAM's big rise You can start using the apps for free, with some limitations. A ChatGPT user asks the chatbot to make an image more vibrant through Photoshop. At the time, the company said more software was on the way, and now one of the most popular professional applications is available through the chatbot. Starting today, you can access Photoshop, Acrobat and Adobe Express inside of ChatGPT. All the apps are free to use through OpenAI's website, though before you can begin generating PDFs and illustrations using Acrobat and Adobe Express, you'll need to sign into your Adobe account.

We've found the best bundle deals on its beauty tech gear. CurrentBody kicked off its Black Friday sale early on November 1 and runs until December 24. Most products remain at retail, but the discounted bundles are worth a look. While we haven't tested CurrentBody's Green Tea Serum and Hydrogel Mask, this Black Friday bundle is a steal because it's cheaper than buying the LED Face Mask Series 2 ($470) on its own. The LED Series 2 is the best red light therapy mask you can buy.
