Adobe Announces New AI Features in Lightroom and Illustrator, Project Neo Launched in Public Beta

At Adobe MAX Japan 2025, Adobe unveiled a number of new AI features in Lightroom and Illustrator “to deliver an even faster, more performant and modernized experience for creators,” the company said. The two new AI-powered editing features in Lightroom and Adobe Camera Raw include: Adaptive Profiles and Distraction Removal. Adobe also launched Project Neo in Public beta and here are all the details about it.

Adobe Lightroom, Illustrator: New AI Features

Adaptive Profiles, available in Lightroom, Lightroom Classic, Lightroom for mobile (iOS & Android), Lightroom for web, and Adobe Camera Raw, will dynamically adjust the tones and colors of your photos, creating an enhanced, yet realistic , starting point for further editing. Unlike traditional presets and profiles with universal settings, Adaptive Profiles adapt to your image.

An AI model analyzes your photo and adjusts tones and colors to make them look just right. The effect is as if the AI had changed Exposure, Shadows, Highlights, Color Mixer, Curves, and other controls for you, although the actual controls stay in their original neutral position.

Distraction Removal, available in Early Access in Adobe Camera Raw, and coming soon to Lightroom, can detect and remove common distractions in your photos like unwanted people. From eliminating photobombers at a photo shoot to combating the crowds in family vacation photos, you can now easily achieve clean, professional-looking results with this feature.

Aside from these two AI features, some other features were also announced such as Clean Up which is one of the features that, according to Adobe, “makes Lightroom on the web a great lightweight tool for quickly viewing, organizing, and managing the photos you have saved in the cloud.” In addition to identifying duplicate shots, Clean Up also helps you find blurry photos, screenshots, and other unwanted images. This feature is available in Early Access in Lightroom on the web.

Next, there’s intuitive focus point selection for Tether Live view. When tethered to Lightroom Classic, you can change your camera’s Autofocus mode in the Tether Live View window and simply click on your desired subject. This eliminates the need to fiddle around with Auto Focus or manual near/far focus buttons.

This is especially handy when your camera is set up in a tricky spot, like high above your head for a bird’s-eye-view shot. Plus, it’s much easier to set the focus point on the larger, live-view window than on the smaller camera screen. Whether you’re focusing on a model’s eye or another object, this tool gives you the confidence that you’re capturing the perfect shot. The feature is available for supported Sony, Nikon, and Canon cameras, and can be used in Lightroom Classic.

For Lightroom Mobile on iOS, the following improvements have been introduced:

4X Faster Share Link Generation: Adobe has also made it faster to generate a share link, reducing the wait time by 75 percent. Now, you can generate shareable links in a fraction of the time.
Easier Link Copy and Share Options: Adobe has also made copying and sharing links easier with easy-to-access, intuitive options where you can quickly decide how you want to share your content — whether by copying the link, sharing via social media, or sending directly to your contacts.
Real-time Customization Preview: Before sharing a link, you can now view a real-time preview of any customization made to the shared album or content. This feature lets you see exactly how your content will appear to recipients, so you can tweak it to get the exact appearance you want.

Further, Lightroom Classic performance has been improved with the latest update, consisting of improved responsiveness while brushing masks, rotating crop angles, and adjusting white balance adjustments, especially for images with a lot of masks.

Finally, for Lightroom on Android and iPhone, you can now easily make selective edits on the background of your photos directly from your phone, instead of having to switch to a larger-screen device, thanks to improvements in Lightroom Mobile’s AI masking tools.

Coming to Illustrator, following performance enhancements have been introduced:

Up to 10x faster performance when converting linked images to embedded images
Up to 5x faster image processing, including importing, dragging and dropping, or placing images on the artboard (for JPEG, PNG, TIFF, and Photoshop files)
Up to 5x faster performance when working with the five most used effects (Drop Shadow, Blur, Inner Glow, Outer Glow, and Rasterize)
Smoother and faster layer operations, including Hide, Unhide, Expand, Collapse, Scrolling up and down, etc in the layers panel

The new feature in Illustrator is Retype. With Retype you can quickly identify the font of static text used in raster images or outlined text and explore similar fonts. Retype searches through the library of 30,000+ Adobe Fonts directly in Illustrator, as well as your local font library, eliminating the need to sift through thousands of fonts to find the one that matches your design.

Adobe has also made significant improvements to Japanese type layout in Illustrator. Users can now also use the new Reflow Viewer feature (launched at Adobe MAX in October 2024) to inform and assist with updating old documents to new and improved type layouts.

At MAX Japan, Adobe also introduced a new Japanese variable font called Momochidori, featuring variable em-box and colored glyphs. Illustrator now also comes with added support for variable em-box as well as support for COLR fonts, so users will now be able to use this class of fonts available on their operating systems (by default). In addition, it has also added dozens of new Japanese fonts to the Adobe Fonts library, which now includes over 950 Japanese fonts.

The latest Illustrator release also includes three common user-asks to improve workflows:

Patterns and gradients: Save your favorite patterns and color gradients directly to your Creative Cloud Library, so you can quickly share them with your team or clients.
Area calculation: Easily calculate the area of a shape or closed path.
Fonts: Embed fonts directly into your Illustrator files to ensure your work is always true to your vision, even if your file is opened on a machine that is missing your font.

Adobe Launches Project Neo in Public Beta

Project Neo makes it easy to add dimensions and depth to your designs. It eliminates the need for manual calculations and empowers you to create and edit 3D, volumetric designs with unprecedented flexibility, control, and precision — all without requiring any technical expertise in 3D creation tools.

Project Neo is ideal for brand and marketing graphics, icons, isometric illustrations and even 3D Pixel art. You can now bring dimensional, geometric artwork from different perspectives into your 2D designs using a familiar, intuitive web-based interface built for graphic designers and integrated into your existing workflows. Plus, you can add unique 3D typography to your designs — Project Neo now includes access to over 30,000 fonts from the Adobe Font Library. Project Neo also allows you to take control over the layout of images you generate with AI using Adobe’s new Scene to Image technology.

This release adds the ability to import 2D SVG files, so you can easily work directly with Illustrator. Also included is Japanese language support, including support for the new Japanese variable font Momochidori.

In-Depth Comparison: Samsung Galaxy S25 and Apple iPhone 16

In-Depth Comparison: Samsung Galaxy S25 and Apple iPhone 16

The Samsung Galaxy S25 and Apple iPhone 16 are being sold at a similar price point but that doesn’t mean that the two have similar characteristics as well. While we have already compared their cameras in detail and found out that they cater to a different subset of users each, here’s a full comparison of the two devices which excludes the cameras but includes everything else, from display, to performance and software.

Build Quality & Design

The Samsung Galaxy S25 and the Apple iPhone 16 both carry a premium price tag, which means they have to have a premium build quality. As a result, both devices exude a premium feel in the hand, with flat frames, displays, and rear panels.

However, the Galaxy S25 is slightly more comfortable to hold in the hand, likely due to its narrower and thinner form factor. Furthermore, the Galaxy S25 looks much better from the front due to its thinner bezels and a smaller punch-hole compared to the iPhone 16’s thicker bezels and dynamic island.

While the build quality is equally good, and both are comfortable to hold, the design of the Galaxy S25 is much better in terms of functionality and even looks.

The iPhone 16 does have an advantage, though, and that is the extra two buttons: the camera control and Action buttons. The S25 has no other buttons apart from the usual volume rocker and power button. While some may not use these, they still serve as functional and useful buttons that the S25 lacks.

Display

The iPhone 16 has a 6.1-inch Super Retina XDR panel that supports HDR, a 60Hz refresh rate, TruTone, and 1600 nits of peak HDR brightness.

The Galaxy S25 has a 6.2-inch FHD+ (2,340 x 1,080) Dynamic AMOLED 2x screen with a 120 Hz refresh rate. It supports HDR10+, has a Pixel density of 418 PPI, and is covered with a layer of Gorilla Glass Victus 2.

Once again, the Galaxy S25 takes the win here for obvious reasons. It has a less obstructive punch hole on the top, narrower bezels, slightly better colours, is brighter, and most importantly, supports a higher refresh rate of 120Hz, which is a deal breaker.

In our experience with the two devices, the Galaxy S25 panel was also more responsive to the touch in games and showed better colours in streaming apps like Netflix.

Speakers & Haptics

The Haptics on both the Samsung Galaxy S25 and Apple iPhone 16 are quite tight and feel premium, but the iPhone 16 does a better job in this area, with stronger vibrations that are slightly more precise when it comes to ringtones. They also sync better with the sound compared to Samsung’s haptics.

As for the speakers, the iPhone 16 speakers sound fuller, are louder, and have more bass, while Samsung’s speakers focus more on vocals with less bass. The sound tuning may be subjective, but in our opinion, the iPhone does have superior speakers in terms of audio quality.

Battery Life

The battery on the Galaxy S25 is a 4000mAh cell with 25W fast charging, while the iPhone 16 has an even smaller 3561mAh cell with unspecified charging speeds. However, Apple does claim the device will charge 50% in 30 minutes.

In our testing, the Galaxy S25 took about 1 hour and 15 minutes to charge from 0 to 100, while Apple’s iPhone 16 was nowhere close, taking up to 2 hours to charge from 0 to 100 with the same charger and cable.

Both devices support wireless charging as well.

As for runtimes, the iPhone 16, despite having a smaller cell, delivered better battery life. That’s because it doesn’t have Always-on display support and a 60Hz refresh rate, which is easier on the battery and not quite demanding. The device gave us up to 8 hours of screen-on time.

The Galaxy S25 was consistent with a 6 to 6.5-hour screen-on time, but with wallpaper AOD and 120Hz refresh, which is quite impressive. Both devices were able to last us a day, but the iPhone 16 lasted a little more on some days due to the reasons we mentioned above.

Despite the iPhone performing better in some cycles, we think the Galaxy S25 deserves to be the winner because it has a bigger battery and faster charging time and delivers a decent runtime with all the demanding features turned on.

Software & Performance

This is where the two devices are poles apart. It also sparks the traditional iOS versus Android debate, but we won’t get into that. We’ll focus more on the performance and features each device has and which is suitable for you. With that mind, the performance and smoothness of both devices are decent, but the Galaxy S25’s 120Hz refresh rate helps make the experience more fluid.

The animations feel far better, and with granular control available for a certain set of animations, things get even better. The feature set is vast in One UI 7, from multi-control to storage sharing between the Samsung ecosystem of devices. You’ll get the best experience if you prefer customisation on your device along with productivity.

Animations on the iPhone 16 feel less smoother but same as the S25, it hasn’t lagged once during our testing. It did have a lot of software issues at launch, as we noted in our review, but those seem to have been ironed out with updates. While the customisation on offer is decent, it doesn’t match One UI 7 at all. The experience is more towards the minimal side with iOS 18. Furthermore, if you are already in the Apple Ecosystem and have products like a Mac, Apple Watch, or an iPad, the iPhone 16 will definitely suit you better. Productivity features and security are also handled well on the Apple device.

Some extras are available with the iPhone, such as Apple Arcade, for those who prefer the service’s exclusive games. Speaking of gaming, both devices are quite good at handling high-end gaming and other demanding tasks. They do heat up if things get a little too demanding, but none of them show signs of throttling.

galaxy S25 home screen and quick settings

RAM management is good in both the Samsung Galaxy S25 and Apple iPhone 16 but the former is slightly better, likely because it gets a higher amount of physical RAM. Coming to the talk of the town, AI, Samsung is again in the lead with more features on offer that are better in quality. Gemini is still superior to Siri in terms of features and performance. The number of AI features on offer is higher in the Galaxy S25, and even their integration within the system is superior.

Overall, the experience on both devices was stable and smooth but the Galaxy S25 excels in this department due to multiple reasons, with one of the main ones being smoother and faster performance.

Verdict

In our opinion, the Galaxy S25 is the better smartphone out of the two, and we say that with experience. Yes, the iPhone 16 is decent, too, but it doesn’t match the quality of the software and the fluidity of the Galaxy S25. Being in the Apple ecosystem, liking the camera control or iOS could definitely be the factors that drive your decision towards purchasing the iPhone 16, and there’s nothing wrong with that, but if you are neither in Samsung’s ecosystem nor in Apple’s, then the Galaxy S25 is a better choice to opt for in comparison to the iPhone.

Google Releases Tab Search Feature in Chrome for Android

Google has released a new update for its browser, bringing the Tab search feature in Chrome for Android. The new feature allows users to search through their opened Tabs if they have a lot of them, making it more convenient and easier for users to access the tab they want to.

The Tab search feature in Chrome for Android has appeared in version 133.0.6943.50 for us. Once the tab switcher is opened, you’ll now see a search bar up top that says “Search your tabs.” You can then begin typing your search terms based on what you had opened in the tab or the website it was running.

The search also includes results from “Bookmarks,” “History,” and “Search the web.” Clicking on a result instantly opens the corresponding tab. This feature is also available in Incognito mode, and desktop Chrome has long supported similar functionality.

Considering the feature is live in the stable version of Chrome on our end, it should start appearing for all users soon. You may have to force stop the App if it hasn’t appeared for you yet.

In related news to Google, the company has been doubling down on its AI assistant Gemini. It released the ability to refer past chats with Gemini Advanced for more helpful and tailored reponses to the user’s prompt. Furthermore, it is also rolling out the File upload and Analysis features for free Gemini users after introducing it for Gemini Advanced subscribers earlier last year.

Google noted that you’re in control over what information is stored. You can easily review, delete or decide how long to keep your chat history. Gemini will indicate when it uses your past chats in sources and related content. This feature is starting to roll out in English for Gemini Advanced subscribers via Google One AI Premium Plan on the Gemini web and mobile app.

Samsung Launches 2025 Bespoke AI Refrigerators in 300L-350L Capacity Range

Samsung has announced the launch of 2025 Bespoke AI refrigerators in 300L to 350L capacity range packed with features like AI Energy Mode, Twin Cooling Plus, Smart Forward, and Wi-Fi-enabled SmartThings integration. Here are all the details to know about the new refrigerators.

Samsung 2025 Bespoke AI Refrigerators: Price

Available in the 300L-350L capacity range, the series comes with Samsung’s 20-year warranty on the Digital Inverter Compressor and starts from Rs 56,990. They are available at leading retail stores, e-commerce platforms, and Samsung’s official website.

Samsung 2025 Bespoke AI Refrigerators: Features

The AI Energy Mode integrated into the 2025 Bespoke AI refrigerators by Samsung leverages advanced AI algorithms to optimize energy consumption by analyzing the refrigerator’s usage patterns. This intelligent system identifies peak and off-peak hours of usage, adjusting energy requirements accordingly to achieve up to 10% energy savings. By reducing unnecessary energy usage, it not only ensures cost efficiency for households but also supports sustainable living by lowering carbon footprints.

SmartThings Home Care offers a seamless integration of real-time monitoring and diagnostics, allowing users to ensure their refrigerator operates at peak efficiency. By comparing past and current performance data, this feature detects potential issues early, minimizing disruptions. Additionally, it provides users with proactive maintenance tips via the SmartThings app, enabling them to extend the lifespan of their refrigerator while ensuring consistent cooling performance.

Designed to enhance the interconnected smart home ecosystem, Smart Forward ensures consistent operation by transferring tasks seamlessly between connected devices. For example, in a multi-appliance setup, the refrigerator can communicate with other devices to adjust cooling requirements based on usage. This feature is ideal for users who rely on an integrated home automation system, as it enhances convenience and ensures that every device operates harmoniously.

The Wi-Fi-enabled refrigerators allows users to control and monitor their appliance remotely via the SmartThings app. Whether it is adjusting the temperature, activating Power Cool or Power Freeze modes, or receiving maintenance notifications, users can manage their refrigerator from anywhere. For instance, while grocery shopping; users can remotely lower the temperature to store perishable items immediately upon returning home.

The Convertible 5-in-1 feature provide five modes that range from Normal, Seasonal, Extra Fridge, Vacation, and Home Alone, cater to specific situations. This adaptability ensures optimal energy savings and maximum utility.

The Twin Cooling Plus technology is designed to enhance freshness retention and prevent odor mixing. By using two independent evaporators and fans, it maintains separate cooling environments for the fridge and freezer compartments. This results in up to two times longer freshness, with up to 70% moisture retention for fruits and vegetables. By isolating odors, it preserves the natural flavors of stored items.

Next, the Active Fresh Filter+ system in the 2025 Bespoke AI refrigerators employs advanced activated carbon filtration to maintain clean and hygienic air circulation inside the refrigerator. It eliminates up to 99.99% of bacteria and neutralizes odors, ensuring a sterile environment for food storage. Additionally, it continuously sterilizes and deodorizes the air.

The Power Cool and Power Freeze functions are designed for rapid cooling and freezing needs. Power Cool lowers the fridge temperature quickly, ideal for chilling beverages or fresh produce on demand. Power Freeze accelerates ice-making and freezing of food items, making it perfect for parties or impromptu gatherings.

The Digital Inverter Compressor ensures consistent and energy-efficient cooling by automatically adjusting its speed in response to cooling demands. This minimizes wear and tear, reducing noise and power consumption.

Google Releases Ability to Refer Past Chats with Gemini Advanced, Also Allows File Upload & Analysis for Free Users

Google has released the ability to refer past chats with Gemini Advanced for more helpful and tailored reponses to the user’s prompt. Furthermore, it is also rolling out the File upload and Analysis features for free Gemini users after introducing it for Gemini Advanced subscribers earlier last year.

“Whether you’re asking a question about something you’ve already discussed, or asking Gemini to summarize a previous conversation, Gemini now uses information from relevant chats to craft a response,” said Google in a blog post. With the ability to refer past chats with Gemini Advanced, it means no more starting over from scratch or having to search for a previous conversation thread. Plus, you can build on top of previous conversations or projects you’ve already started.

Google adds that you’re in control over what information is stored. You can easily review, delete or decide how long to keep your chat history. You can also turn off Gemini Apps Activity altogether by going to My Activity. Gemini will indicate when it uses your past chats in sources and related content.

This feature is starting to roll out in English for Gemini Advanced subscribers via Google One AI Premium Plan on the Gemini web and mobile app. Google will be rolling it out to more languages and to Google Workspace Business and Enterprise customers over the coming weeks.

In another development, Google is now also allowing Gemini free tier users to upload and analyze files. File upload is rolling out in a phased manner to free Gemini acconts and isn’t widely available as of now. It only works with Gemini 2.0 Flash and not the older 1.5 Flash model (via 9to5Google).

As for what file types are supported for analysis, these include:

Spreadsheets created in Google Sheets
Plain text files: TXT
Document files: DOC, DOCX, PDF, RTF, DOT, DOTX, HWP, HWPX
Documents created in Google Docs
Tabular data files: CSV, TSV
Spreadsheet files: XLS, XLSX
Code files: C, CPP, PY, JAVA, PHP, SQL, and HTML
