Adobe camera app’s new feature will critique your photos using AI
Adobe's Project Indigo can now remove all kinds of backgrounds from photos you snap using the app
Adobe is adding a new AI-powered feature to its Project Indigo camera app that can critique photos taken with the app, according to a report from TechCrunch.
The company’s experimental camera app, Project Indigo, is also gaining the ability to remove backgrounds from images captured through the app. The new function can handle a range of background types, expanding the app’s editing tools beyond basic capture and into more advanced post-processing.
TechCrunch reported the update as part of Adobe’s continued work on Project Indigo, which appears to be evolving into a more capable mobile photography tool. Based on the monitored public feed, the latest feature suggests Adobe is leaning further into on-device or app-based AI assistance for users who want quick edits after taking a photo.
The background-removal tool could be useful for users looking to isolate subjects for social posts, product images, or other edits without switching to a separate app. The added AI critique feature points to a broader push to make photography apps more interactive, with software helping users evaluate and refine images after they are shot.
Details in the feed summary are limited, and Adobe has not been quoted in the provided material, so the scope of the critique feature is not fully clear from the public feed alone. Still, the update indicates that Project Indigo is becoming more than a standard camera app by combining capture, editing, and AI-assisted analysis in one place.
The report is based on a monitored public feed and is attributed to TechCrunch.
