  "textContent": "\n\n\n\nIt’s been a busy couple of weeks for Adobe, one of the biggest players in creative asset creation, as well as photo and video editing.\n\nAfter kicking off NAB 2026 with the announcement of a new Color Mode in Premiere, which is one of the company’s biggest non-AI innovations in the video editing space in years, Adobe also announced a new partnership with Anthropic, with plans to allow Claude to connect with its creative apps.\n\nHowever, it’s in the fields of photo editing, storyboard creation, and inspiration generation that the company also has another set of updates to share, including new features and tools coming to Photoshop and Lightroom that might be interesting to filmmakers and hybrid content creators.\n\n* * *\n\n### Adobe Photoshop and Lightroom Updates\n\n\n\n\nAnnounced as new innovations set to power some of the company's more popular apps in Creative Cloud, these design and photography tools are set to receive updates that should add a new layer of control and speed to users' creative processes.\n\nHere’s the full list of updates coming to Premiere and Lightroom:\n\n  * Rotate Object in Photoshop is now generally available. What was once a tedious, multi-step process is now a fast, non-destructive workflow that lets designers tilt, spin, and recompose objects from new angles in real time. The result: it’s easier to explore ideas, refine quickly, and iterate freely without rebuilding work from scratch.\n  * Layer Cleanup, originally previewed at Adobe MAX in October, is now available in Photoshop and intelligently declutters your layers by renaming and removing empty layers, so you can stay focused on creating, not managing layers.\n  * Firefly Boards now seamlessly integrates with both Photoshop and Lightroom, providing a clear path from ideation to creation and helping you move smoothly from early concept to final output without breaking your creative workflow.\n  * Improved Search in Lightroom lets you find photos simply by describing what you’re looking for in your own words, making it faster and more intuitive to surface exactly the shots you need.\n  * New Film-Inspired Presets in Lightroom give you more creative control to deliver a nostalgic look, while performance upgrades like faster Assisted Culling and up to 5x faster interactive slider performance help you handle large shoots with greater speed and precision.\n\n\n\nThe big news here is the introduction of a couple of new features, like Layer Cleanup and Rotate Object, which are getting updates themselves, as well as a more seamless integration with Firefly Boards, an AI-powered tool that aims to help filmmakers specifically with creating storyboards and inspiration.\n\n### Price and Availability\n\n\n\n\nWhile these new features and innovations are perhaps more tailored for photographers and graphic designers than, say, filmmakers and video professionals, there’s still plenty of crossover use cases for the more versatile content creators who work in both mediums.\n\nIf you’d like to find out more, all of these updates are available on both platforms for you to check out.
