Adobe has released Photoshop Relight, which adds movable light sources, and a beta Lightroom tool that opens closed eyes, at MAX.
According to The Next Web, most of the new tools are generally available today, and a few are in beta.

| Generative Restyle | Photoshop | Available | Turns a typed edit into a layer with its own slider |
| Generative Recompose | Photoshop beta app | Beta | Moves an image to a new aspect ratio and keeps its structure |
| Color Mode | Premiere | Available | Colour grading built for video editors |
| Generative Remove | Premiere | Beta | Fills the gap after you mask and track an unwanted object |
| Glow | Lightroom | Available | Adds soft, cinematic light, from Diffusion to Halation |
| Open Eyes | Lightroom | Beta | Fixes a blink using a reference photo |
| Co-editing | InDesign | Beta | Real-time editing of one document |
Photoshop
Generative Restyle means you can dial an effect up or down without writing a new prompt. The Remove Tool now also picks up footprints, reflections, shadows, and waves when you erase an object, and Quick Compare adds an on-canvas before-and-after slider. The AI Assisted Editor offers a prompt-first mode, with a switch back to the full Pro Editor at any time.
Mockups, Camera Angles, Generative Recompose, and Convert to Text Layers (which turns text in a flat image into editable type) are in the Photoshop beta app.
Premiere
Colour Mode is generally available. The Generative Media Tool creates video, sound effects, soundscapes, and music in the timeline, using Adobe’s Firefly models or models from Google, Kling, Runway, and Luma. Enhance Audio, Separate Crosstalk, and Separate Sound Source are Adobe’s AI-powered audio tools. Generative Remove (beta) fills the gap after you mask and track an unwanted object, such as a boom mic or logo.
Lightroom
Glow is available, as is Blemish Removal, which keeps natural features such as freckles. Open Eyes lets you pick the reference photo or leave Lightroom to find one.
InDesign, Firefly and Topaz
InDesign gets Flex Layout, which resizes text frames as content changes. Firefly Design and Firefly Graph are in beta, and Firefly Builder is in private beta. Adobe says you can buy Topaz Wonder 4 and Image HDR, two AI models, separately at topazlabs.com. Adobe also says optimised Photoshop and Premiere builds are available for Arm-based Windows PCs, following its RTX Spark work. Our guide to a laptop for photo editing covers machines for this work.
The ideas, taste, style and vision that creative professionals bring to their work are what make their work stand out.

The release follows Adobe’s September move to bring Photoshop and Firefly to Google Gemini. Adobe also previewed local MCP integrations that will let outside AI agents work inside Photoshop, Illustrator, Premiere, and After Effects, and they will reach private beta in early 2027.
