Adobe's experimental camera app Project Indigo now includes multiple AI-powered features designed to enhance photo quality and streamline editing workflows directly within the camera interface.

Project Indigo incorporates tools for removing distractions from photos and providing real-time feedback on image composition. The AI features operate at the point of capture, allowing users to assess and optimize shots before saving. Adobe positions the experimental app as a testing ground for AI camera technologies. The integration of distraction removal and instant feedback aims to reduce post-processing work and improve immediate photo quality. The move reflects broader industry trends of embedding AI capabilities into camera software. Project Indigo's feature set demonstrates Adobe's effort to deliver AI photography tools beyond traditional post-production editing suites. As an experimental platform, Project Indigo serves as Adobe's development space for camera-focused AI applications that may eventually reach broader Adobe products.
