📝 PATCH NOTES

Weekly roundup of product buffs and nerfs.

Artisan’s level up with Adobe upgrades

Adobe unleashed a stack of product updates across their portfolio from Photoshop, InDesign, and beyond augmented by their Firefly AI models.

These updates boost Artisan’s (designers/creatives) arsenal with the power of generative AI to unlock incredible abilities.

New abilities unlocked:

1. Photoshop Reality Bender

   • Vanquish unwanted elements from your visual realm.

   • Use Firefly (Adobe’s AI models) to summon life-like imagery with control.

2. Premiere Pro’s Time Weaving

   • Conjure additional frames to fill-in the gaps in your films.

3. Lightroom's Vision Enhancer

   • Generative Remove: Banish unwanted elements with improved accuracy

   • Quick Actions: Receive tailored edit suggestions for your visual spells

4. Illustrator's Vector Sorcery

   • Transform hand-drawn art into editable vectors

5. Project Neo's Dimensional Bridge (beta enchantment)

   • Transcend 2D designs to create 3D content.

Consider the following buffs and debuffs:

1. Inspiration Flow (passive buff)

   • Enjoy a continuous stream of fresh ideas that invigorate your creative spirit.

2. Overwhelming Aura (afflicted debuff)

   • Too many options may lead to decision paralysis, slowing your progress if not managed wisely.

May your pixels be ever vibrant, your vectors always smooth, and your creations more magical than ever before!

💎 LOOT DROPS

Epic finds from across the web.

• What came first; hardware or software? Well, designer Junho Han shows a mock of hardware that mimics software with a folder-shaped hard drive.

• Our app icons don’t have to be flat and boring: animated Mac icons are a delight. And perhaps achievable with Rive.
