Adobe
has
been
working
on
some
experimental
tech
that
could
help
speed
up
concept
and
planning
work
for
graphic
designers
and
audio
engineers.
Some
of
the
“sneaks”
previewed
during
Adobe’s
MAX
event
include
tools
that
can
turn
sketches
into
a
variety
of
polished
designs,
and
a
feature
for
rotating
2D
art
as
if
it
were
a
3D
object.
“Project
Turntable”
is
capable
of
the
latter.
The
tool
allows
users
to
click
a
button
and
then
drag
a
slider
along
to
automatically
view
and
snap
a
vector
image
into
a
different
viewing
perspective
—
something
that
would
typically
require
an
artist
to
redraw
the
image
entirely
from
scratch.
The
examples
demonstrated
at
the
event
retained
their
original
designs
when
rotated
without
warping
into
a
new
overall
shape.
For
example,
the
dragon’s
yellow
underbelly
and
tail
remained
in
the
same
position
throughout
all
the
changes.
Here’s
an
example
of
Project
Turntable
in
action,
rotating
a
flat
2D
image
of
a
bread
basket.GIF:

If
you
prefer
to
work
in
physical
mediums
like
pencil
and
paper,
“Project
Remix
A
Lot”
can
digitize
those
designs
for
you.
The
feature
provides
a
“Sketch
to
layout”
button
that
takes
a
rough
design
and
uses
generative
AI
to
transform
it
into
an
editable
digital
image.
Once
a
design
is
complete,
users
can
also
click
the
“Layout
variations”
button
to
automatically
resize
the
final
image
into
a
selection
of
different
sizing
formats
that
are
better
suited
for
social
media
posts
or
blog
headers.
Terrible
at
graphic
design?
Just
throw
together
a
rough
sketch
of
what
you
need
and
Project
Remix
A
Lot
can
do
the
rest.GIF:

We
should
note
that
these
experimental
tools
aren’t
guaranteed
to
be
developed
into
publicly
available
features
—
Adobe
mostly
uses
its
sneaks
program
to
preview
the
cutting-edge
tech
it’s
working
on
and
gauge
the
demand
for
such
features.
But
many
popular
features
like
Photoshop’s
Remove
tool
and
Adobe’s
Fresco
painting
app
made
their
first
appearance
as
sneaks,
so
there’s
a
good
chance
we
may
see
these
in
Illustrator
one
day.
Outside
of
vector
art,
Adobe
also
demonstrated
“Project
Hi-Fi,”
a
Photoshop
plugin
that
uses
a
portion
of
the
user’s
workspace
as
a
reference
to
guide
AI
image
generation.
It
works
a
bit
like
Adobe’s
structure
reference
feature
for
Firefly,
only
with
more
scope
for
customization.
And
for
audio
engineers,
“Project
Super
Sonic”
allows
you
to
generate
sample
sound
effects
using
prompts
or
by
clicking
on
an
object
in
a
silent
video,
like
a
flowing
stream
or
ferns
in
a
jungle.
The
tool
itself
can
recognize
what
the
user
is
selecting
and
work
out
what
it
should
sound
like,
so
you
don’t
have
to
go
manually
hunting
through
audio
libraries.
Users
can
also
adjust
the
timing
of
these
sound
effects
using
their
own
voice,
providing
more
control
than
a
text
description.
These
are
just
a
few
of
the
sneaks
projects
that
Adobe
has
announced
this
year,
alongside
tools
for
creating
image
mashups,
identifying
who
owns
an
image
both
online
and
on
real-world
objects,
and
removing
distractions
from
videos.
You

about
each
sneak
preview

Adobe’s
blog.
