The latest updates to Adobe Lightroom CC and Adobe Photoshop CC include an exciting new approach to using presets. By building artificial intelligence into presets, Adobe has now taken things a step further. Available in Adobe Camera Raw, Lightroom CC and Lightroom Classic (v11.4), the new adaptive presets are powered by machine learning. They function in a similar way to normal presets, but rather than altering the entire image, they zero in on either the subject or sky, before applying tailored tonal effects to the area. Additionally, a new control lets us fine-tune a preset’s strength and new premium preset sets offer a host of effects that are tailored towards dealing with different subject matter.

With these improvements, Adobe continues the trend in implementing AI into its photo applications. Aided by machine learning, complex edits are gradually getting easier and quicker, which is great news all round for Nikon enthusiasts.
