Adobe Lightroom And Camera Raw Gain Two New AI Editing Tools

During the Max Japan 2025 design conference, Adobe unveiled advanced AI editing features for its Lightroom and Camera Raw applications, aimed at streamlining repetitive editing tasks.

One standout feature is Adaptive Profiles, which, although it made its initial debut last fall, is now officially available in both Lightroom and Camera Raw for use with color and black-and-white HDR images. According to Adobe, Adaptive Profiles “dynamically adjust the tones and colors of your photos, providing an enhanced yet authentic foundation for further modifications.” Unlike standard presets that apply the same enhancements to every photo, Adaptive Profiles leverages AI to assess each image and fine-tune adjustments such as Exposure, Shadows, Highlights, Color Mixer, and Curves.

Another innovative tool, currently in Early Access for Camera Raw but soon to be available in Lightroom, is Distraction Removal. This feature intelligently identifies and eliminates unwanted elements from your images, such as reflections in windows, crowded backgrounds, or unexpected figures in scenic shots.

For photographers looking to organize their work, Adobe is introducing the Find Duplicates feature, which has launched in Early Access for Lightroom users on the web. This tool helps locate and delete duplicate images in your library, ensuring that you don’t accidentally edit the wrong picture. The Find Duplicates function is part of the Clean Up toolset, which also identifies and removes blurred photos and screenshots.

Lightroom mobile for iOS is receiving updates that will simplify the sharing process for your photos. Users will now benefit from auto-generated shareable links that can be accessed by anyone you send them to, regardless of whether they use Lightroom. Furthermore, the link creation speed will be increased by 75%, enabling you to quickly share images by copying the link, posting on social media, or sending it directly to your contacts. Information on when these features will be available for the Google and Samsung Lightroom apps is still pending.
