 According to TechCrunch, Adobe is testing new artificial intelligence features within its experimental iOS camera application, Project Indigo. The report notes that the app—which was launched in 2025 with pro controls and multi-frame capabilities—now incorporates large language models (LLMs) to critique photos and suggest edits.

What Adobe Is Testing

• Reported Testing: TechCrunch reported that Project Indigo is evaluating experimental LLM-powered tools designed to critique photos and provide editing suggestions.

• Project Leadership: Marc Levoy, who previously worked on Google Pixel camera technology, stated that prompt-based editing can often be a tricky endeavor. He added that the team prefers deterministic button-based outputs.

• Additional Updates: According to the report, the experimental update includes advanced object removal toggles, depth of field generation, and stylistic filters.

How the New Features Work

In TechCrunch's coverage, the critique features provide descriptive assessments regarding framing, lighting, colors, and emotional impact. The app also updates object removal by allowing users to toggle specific elements—such as people, trash, and wires—instead of manually selecting them on the screen.

TechCrunch reported that the experimental features currently run on Google’s Gemini-based Nano Banana model. These tools are housed under an AI playground tab for select users, and no broader rollout timeline was mentioned in the report.
