With the new update, the app takes a significant step beyond shooting and moves into a more complete capture and editing environment, adding the new AI Playground.<\/p>\n<p>The new feature brings AI-powered tools directly into the camera app, allowing users to edit their photos without having to navigate to a separate app. For creators, mobile photographers, and social-first productions, this points to a new direction: the camera is no longer just a shooting tool, but also a creative workspace.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/platform.theverge.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/07\/Adobe-Indigo-AI-Playground-hero.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;crop=0%2C0%2C100%2C100&amp;w=2400\" alt=\"Adobe Indigo AI Playground hero\" \/><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"ai--photoshop-premiere-pro--lightroom\" class=\"mb-2 mt-4 font-display font-semimedium text-base first:mt-0 md:text-lg [hr+&amp;]:mt-4\">From natural photography to AI-assisted editing<\/h2>\n<p>Project Indigo started as an app for those who wanted a more natural image from their smartphone, with less \u201cheavy\u201d processing and more of a traditional camera feel. With manual controls for focus, shutter speed, ISO and white balance, Indigo\u2019s logic was closer to the photographer who wants to control the result and not just rely on the automatic processing of the phone.<\/p>\n<p>With AI Playground, Adobe is adding a new level of creative editing. The image can now be retouched, cleaned of unwanted elements, analyzed by AI for feedback, or modified with more free-form instructions via prompts. This transforms Indigo from a \u201ccamera nerd\u201d app to an experimental mobile environment where capture and generative editing meet.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/platform.theverge.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/07\/Screenshot-2026-07-20-110515.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;crop=0%2C0%2C100%2C100&amp;w=2400\" alt=\"A before and after image showing a Photograph of a bridge that has been manipulated with AI to look like a sketch.\" \/><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"editing\" class=\"mb-2 mt-4 font-display font-semimedium text-base first:mt-0 md:text-lg [hr+&amp;]:mt-4\">Styles for creative AI looks<\/h2>\n<p>The first main section of AI Playground is Styles. Through preset AI-generated effects, users can change the aesthetics of a photo, make it look like an illustration, modify the lighting or give it a more unique creative look.<\/p>\n<p>This feature is of interest to creators who want to quickly create alternative aesthetic versions of an image without having to manually edit from scratch. For social media, moodboards, concept visuals, or quick creative tests, Styles can act as an instant tool for exploring different directions.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"editing\" class=\"mb-2 mt-4 font-display font-semimedium text-base first:mt-0 md:text-lg [hr+&amp;]:mt-4\">Object Editing to remove elements from the photo<\/h2>\n<p>The second section is Object Editing, which allows you to remove people, objects, or other distractions from the background of an image. After removal, AI fills in the gaps, creating a cleaner result.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/platform.theverge.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/07\/Screenshot-2026-07-20-112327.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;crop=0%2C0%2C100%2C100&amp;w=2400\" alt=\"Two paintings\/illustrations, edited using generative AI in Adobe\u2019s Indigo app to look like real life photographs.\" \/><\/p>\n<p>In practice, this is one of the most useful tools for everyday photography. An unwanted object, a passerby in the background, or a distracting element can be quickly removed, without the need for more complex retouching. For mobile creators, this feature can significantly reduce the time it takes to get an image ready for use.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"editing\" class=\"mb-2 mt-4 font-display font-semimedium text-base first:mt-0 md:text-lg [hr+&amp;]:mt-4\">Photo Guidance: AI feedback for better shots<\/h2>\n<p>Photo Guidance is perhaps the most interesting feature from an educational perspective. Instead of just editing, the AI analyzes the photo and makes suggestions on how it could be improved. This could be regarding composition, lighting, framing, or possible changes to the shot.<\/p>\n<p>For new photographers, creators, or users looking to improve their eye, this feature can act as a little \u201cphoto coach\u201d within the app. It doesn\u2019t replace the creator\u2019s personal aesthetic, but it can help you understand why an image works or why it could be better.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"editing\" class=\"mb-2 mt-4 font-display font-semimedium text-base first:mt-0 md:text-lg [hr+&amp;]:mt-4\">AI transparency and responsible use<\/h2>\n<p>Introducing generative AI into a photography app naturally opens up the conversation around transparency. When an image can be significantly altered by AI tools, it becomes more important to have a clear indication of what has been created or modified. Adobe is already moving in this direction with technologies like Content Credentials in other tools, and the same issue becomes particularly important for Indigo.<\/p>\n<p>For professionals, brands, and creators, responsible use of such tools is critical. AI can help create cleaner, more impressive, or faster visuals, but how an image is presented remains the responsibility of the creator.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/comart.gr\/nea\">Our other articles about Adobe<\/a><\/p>\n<p data-pm-slice=\"1 1 []\">Learn more at\u00a0<a class=\"\" href=\"https:\/\/www.adobe.com\/\" target=\"_new\" rel=\"noopener\" data-start=\"1433\" data-end=\"1471\">www.adobe.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>THE <strong>Comart<\/strong> it is <strong>Adobe Gold Reseller<\/strong> in categories <strong>Commercial, Education &amp; Government<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n<p><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u0397 Adobe \u03c3\u03c5\u03bd\u03b5\u03c7\u03af\u03b6\u03b5\u03b9 \u03bd\u03b1 \u03c0\u03b5\u03b9\u03c1\u03b1\u03bc\u03b1\u03c4\u03af\u03b6\u03b5\u03c4\u03b1\u03b9 \u03bc\u03b5 \u03c4\u03bf \u03bc\u03ad\u03bb\u03bb\u03bf\u03bd \u03c4\u03b7\u03c2 mobile \u03c6\u03c9\u03c4\u03bf\u03b3\u03c1\u03b1\u03c6\u03af\u03b1\u03c2, \u03b1\u03c5\u03c4\u03ae \u03c4\u03b7 \u03c6\u03bf\u03c1\u03ac \u03bc\u03ad\u03c3\u03b1 \u03b1\u03c0\u03cc \u03c4\u03bf Project Indigo, \u03c4\u03b7\u03bd experimental camera app \u03c0\u03bf\u03c5 \u03b4\u03b7\u03bc\u03b9\u03bf\u03c5\u03c1\u03b3\u03ae\u03b8\u03b7\u03ba\u03b5 \u03bc\u03b5 \u03c3\u03c4\u03cc\u03c7\u03bf \u03ad\u03bd\u03b1 \u03c0\u03b9\u03bf \u03c6\u03c5\u03c3\u03b9\u03ba\u03cc, \u201cSLR-like\u201d \u03b1\u03c0\u03bf\u03c4\u03ad\u03bb\u03b5\u03c3\u03bc\u03b1 \u03c3\u03c4\u03b9\u03c2 \u03bb\u03ae\u03c8\u03b5\u03b9\u03c2 \u03b1\u03c0\u03cc iPhone. \u039c\u03b5 \u03c4\u03bf \u03bd\u03ad\u03bf update, \u03b7 \u03b5\u03c6\u03b1\u03c1\u03bc\u03bf\u03b3\u03ae \u03ba\u03ac\u03bd\u03b5\u03b9 \u03ad\u03bd\u03b1 \u03c3\u03b7\u03bc\u03b1\u03bd\u03c4\u03b9\u03ba\u03cc \u03b2\u03ae\u03bc\u03b1 \u03c0\u03ad\u03c1\u03b1 \u03b1\u03c0\u03cc \u03c4\u03b7 \u03bb\u03ae\u03c8\u03b7 \u03ba\u03b1\u03b9 \u03c0\u03b5\u03c1\u03bd\u03ac \u03c3\u03b5 \u03ad\u03bd\u03b1 \u03c0\u03b9\u03bf [&hellip;]<\/p>","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":24028,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[123,252],"tags":[131,273,300,301,302,303,304,285,305,286,306,307,308,219,309,310,311,312,313,268,314,315,316,317],"class_list":["post-24025","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-graphics","category-posts","tag-adobe","tag-adobe-ai","tag-adobe-project-indigo","tag-ai-camera-app","tag-ai-photo-editing","tag-ai-playground","tag-camera-app","tag-comart","tag-computational-photography","tag-content-creation","tag-content-credentials","tag-creative-ai","tag-custom-edit","tag-generative-ai","tag-iphone-photography","tag-mobile-creators","tag-mobile-photography","tag-object-editing","tag-object-removal","tag-photo-editing","tag-photo-guidance","tag-project-indigo","tag-social-media-content","tag-styles"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/adobe.comart.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/24025","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/adobe.comart.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/adobe.comart.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/adobe.comart.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/adobe.comart.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=24025"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/adobe.comart.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/24025\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":24029,"href":"https:\/\/adobe.comart.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/24025\/revisions\/24029"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/adobe.comart.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/24028"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/adobe.comart.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=24025"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/adobe.comart.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=24025"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/adobe.comart.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=24025"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
