Adobe Max 2026 Previews Four Experimental AI Tools for Creative Workflows
Adobe showcased experimental tools like Project Screen Test and Sight Span at Max 2026, aiming to enhance creative control through interactive AI, though release dates remain unconfirmed.
US software company Adobe (Nasdaq: ADBE) unveiled four experimental AI tools, dubbed "Sneaks," at its annual Max conference, aiming to reshape how creative professionals interact with generative AI. The tools—Project Screen Test, Project Sight Span, Project Sound Bender, and Project Rinse Repeat—are currently technology previews with no guarantee of integration into Adobe's Creative Cloud or Firefly platforms.
Project Screen Test allows users to develop AI-generated characters by conversing with them in an audition-like environment, defining personality traits and backstory through dialogue rather than just text prompts. Project Sight Span transforms flat images into explorable 3D environments, enabling users to reposition viewpoints and view content outside the original frame while preserving artistic styles.
Additionally, Project Sound Bender offers a visual interface for audio mixing, where users adjust AI-generated sound effects by dragging a cursor across a canvas. Project Rinse Repeat enables users to copy photo edits applied to one subject and automatically adapt them to other people or objects in the same image within Photoshop. Gautham Mysore, a senior principal research scientist at Adobe, stated that these experiments aim to make complex workflows more intuitive, giving experienced creatives more precise control over the output.
