Adobe tests AI agent that edits images like a Photoshop professional

Adobe researchers have built EditAgent, an AI system that edits images more like a human Photoshop professional. In tests of 600 image edits, a general-purpose editor failed nearly 43 percent of the time, while specialized tools solved about two-thirds of those failures. EditAgent plans edits in steps, generates multiple candidate solutions in parallel from the original image, and uses a language model to select the best result based on hard data such as brightness and color changes, rather than retrying the same editor repeatedly.
