By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Adobe Research, in collaboration with UC San Diego, has developed EditAgent, an AI system designed to perform image editing tasks with professional-level proficiency. This system distinguishes itself by selecting appropriate specialized editing tools, such as those found in Photoshop, rather than relying on a single, general-purpose editor. EditAgent utilizes a language model to choose the optimal editing outcome based on quantifiable image data, though this advanced capability requires approximately ten times more computational resources.
