Adobe
Adobe is an American multinational software company focused on digital media and digital marketing solutions. Its product portfolio spans three domains: creative design tools (Photoshop, Illustrator, Premiere Pro), document processing (Acrobat/PDF), and digital experience platforms (Adobe Experience Cloud). Adobe's products are used across graphic design, video production, web development, and enterprise marketing. The company delivers software and cloud services to individuals and enterprise customers through a subscription model known as Creative Cloud.
Core Facts
C2PA (Coalition for Content Provenance and Authenticity) was jointly founded in 2021 by Adobe, Microsoft, Intel, BBC, Arm, and other organizations.
In the digital product upload step, Adobe Stock requires a 5-column CSV header, Vecteezy requires 4 columns, and Dreamstime requires 15 columns.
The core dispute in AI copyright litigation is whether the large-scale ingestion of copyrighted works during the AI model training phase constitutes "fair use"; proponents cite the Google Books case as precedent, while opponents point out that AI models can sometimes reproduce training data nearly verbatim.
Timeline (last 90 days)
After being charged an early cancellation fee by Adobe, a US developer used reverse engineering techniques to release 7 open-source alternatives within a few weeks, covering core tools such as Photoshop, Illustrator, Premiere and Lightroom, with support for Windows, Mac and Linux.
Adobe features such as AI-generated images run on Adobe's own servers, so a reverse-engineered client can only see the network requests and cannot see the model behind them.
Some developers have used AI tools to clone the entire Adobe product line, including Photoshop, Premiere Pro, and Illustrator.
Google Chromebooks cannot provide complete desktop Adobe applications (such as Photoshop and Premiere) in their app ecosystem, and users can only obtain the mobile versions through Google Play.
The full desktop version of Premiere will land on Chromebooks sooner or later.
Frame.io was acquired by Adobe in 2021 for about $1.3 billion.
Adobe announced that the mobile version of Lightroom can use generative AI to open the eyes of people whose eyes are closed in photos.
Lightroom's AI eye-opening feature references other photos of the same person in the user's library to generate more accurate eyes.
The Adobe suite is absent on Google Book, Premiere is reportedly in development, and CapCut Pad can only serve as a lightweight substitute.
Adobe's approach typically falls into the category of diffusion models or generative adversarial networks (GANs).
