Adobe announced, at its Max Japan Design Conference 2025, a pair new AI editing tools designed to reduce the repetitiveness of many common tasks.
Adaptive Profiles is now available in both Lightroom & Camera Raw for color & monochrome HDR photos. Adobe states that Adaptive Profiles “dynamically adjusts the tones and colours of your photos to create an enhanced yet realistic starting point for further edits.” But instead of applying the same preset enhancements to each image, Adaptive Profiles analyzes each image to optimize its adjustments, including Exposure and Shadows, Highlights and Color Mixer.
The Distraction Removal is currently available as Early Access for Camera Raw Users, but will be coming soon to Lightroom. It detects and removes distracting photo elements, such as reflections on windows, crowds or people photobombing the background.
Adobe has also released a new feature which will save photographers’ time, effort and possibly their sanity. Lightroom users can now use the new Find Duplicates tool in Early Access. It will track down and remove duplicate images from the library, so users don’t accidentally start editing the wrong image. Find Duplicates will be bundled with the Clean Up tool which can also remove blurred images or screenshots.
Thanks to some new updates, you’ll soon be able to share photos taken with Lightroom mobile on iOS. The app will automatically generate shareable links which can be viewed and shared by anyone, regardless of whether they have Lightroom. This link generation process is also 75% faster than it was before. You can quickly select how and where you want your images to be shared – whether it’s by copying the link or sharing them on social media. No word on when these sharing options will be available on the Google Lightroom and Samsung Lightroom applications.

I tried out Google’s latest AI tool that generates images in a fun, new way
Google’s latest AI tool helps you automate image generation even further. The tool is called Whisk, and it’s based on Google’s latest Imagen 3 image generation model. Rather than relying solely on text prompts, Whisk helps you create your desired images using other images as the base prompt.
Whisk is currently in an experimental phase, but once set up it’s fairly easy to navigate. Google detailed in a blog post introducing Whisk that it is intended for “rapid visual exploration, not pixel-perfect edits.”
Google’s new Gemini 2.o AI model is soon to be everywhere
A year after launching Gemini 1.5, Google’s DeepMind division returned Wednesday to unveil the AI’s next-generation model Gemini 2.0. The new model has native audio and image output “will enable us to build new AI agents that bring us closer to our vision of a universal assistant,” the company said in its blog post.
Gemini 2.0 will be available on Wednesday at all subscription levels, including for free. Google’s flagship AI model will be used to power AI features in the company’s ecosystem over the next few months. The initial release of Gemini is not the full-fledged model from Google, but a smaller and less capable “experimental preview” version that will be upgraded to Google Gemini in coming months.
