The source (Adobe MAX) 'demoes' full range of incredible scenarios.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gfct0aH2COw

This will work well about one out of every hundred times you try it. Enough to find good demo examples though.

Get an AI to generate 100 examples then

I find that Adobe is really pulling away from open source software with all this AI stuff. A few years ago it could be argued that GIMP, Inkscape, and Darktable could do almost everything that Photoshop, Illustrator, and Lightroom could, albeit with a jankier user interface. But now none of the open source software can compete with AI generative fill, AI denoising, and now AI rotation.

Almost all the AI models come from open research. Yes, open software hasn't caught up because they don't have the billions of research money to implement this models, but that doesn't mean it won't happen at some point.

The video is much better than the linked page. The video shows the dynamic multi-angle character rotation and other object rotations. https://www.youtube.com/watch?t=63

Weird that YouTube's default error page (xnx's post) is a 1 minute video titled "YouTube is not currently available on this device.".

Perhaps the OP meant to time stamp it, but the url was incomplete. The time stamp at 63 secs..

> just discussing them with prospects [...] sales funnel I'll admit I have no idea what % of Adobe licensees/subscribers are individuals and small visual/graphic design firms (who choose Adobe for personal reasons) compared to larger companies (news agencies, web-design body-shops, etc) where employees use the tools given to them despite any personal preferences for rivals like Procreate, etc - and the rest: students…

Execs love genai & execs make purchasing decisions.

Yup, this. I've recently interacted with someone whose board pushed for a company-wide coding assistant rollout, with the explicit goal of reducing development staff, or rather costs. The developers weren't really asking for it, but leadership assumes that they wouldn't, if it could make them redundant.

Seems like getting decisions made at that level can be extremely valuable, and at the same time lets you get away with building something that just seems like a useful product - because the people you're selling to won't use it. And furthermore, they will already go into this assuming resistance from the actual users, so they're unlikely to even listen to their feedback.

Of course it's not a long term strategy, but it seems like a potent short term money maker.

I think you're being a bit too generous with Adobe here :-). I shared this before, but it's worth resharing [1]. It covers the experience of a professional artist using Adobe tools. The gist is that once a company has a captive audience with no alternatives, investors come first. Flashy (no pun intended :-p), cool features to impress investors become more important than the everyday user experience—and this feature d…

Is there no alternative to Photoshop? Affinity or Pixelator don't cut it?

Unfortunately Affinity does not run on linux natively.

Gimp? Although the UX feels so outdated. https://github.com/KenneyNL/Adobe-Alternatives#photoshop

If you ever worked professionally with PS, you are getting tired of recommendations of tool that is capable like 20% of PS.

Think about the other side though -- if the tool you've learned and rely on goes out of business because they didn't innovate fast enough, it's a whole lot worse for you now that you have to learn an entirely new tool. And I haven't seen any "wild churn" at all -- like I said in another comment, a few informative popups and a magic wand icon in a toolbar? It's not exactly high on the list of disruptions. I can still…

Back in the olden days (10 years ago), when you bought software, you could actually keep using it indefinitely. Doesn’t matter if the company went bankrupt, if you like using Logic Pro 7 and it works with your equipment you can kept using it. I know people who only recently moved off of OS 9 - they were using creative software for over 25 years, it did what they needed it to do so they kept using it. I still know at…

You cannot even work offline in properly licensed CC.

I'm wonder when Adobe implement AI check for export. Then it will be impossible to export "wrong" files. It already started with scans of money, soon it targets CSAM, later politically incorrect topics, hatespeech, disinformations and age verification for nudity.

Ok that's VERY impressive, now give me the possibility of exporting it as an .stl to 3D print and then we'll be talking. Just imagine drawing something in 2D and be able to print it as a fully 3D object, it gives me chills just by thinking about it.

This is here now. It's possible to set up a flow in a node based ai tool to go from text prompt to stl in a single shot.

They current results using open license models aren't incredible in their fidelity, but it's literally here today.
