Adobe Labs launches with Project Custom Filters: AI builds adjustable filters from text
rufusd · x · 2026-11-12
Adobe launched Adobe Labs, a site to try in-flight work before it ships, bundling research on AI's impact on creative work, early Sneaks demos, and a hands-on Playground.
The standout is Project Custom Filters: describe a visual effect in plain language and an AI assistant builds a real, working filter with its own controls that runs live on your image — not a static AI-generated picture but a non-destructive, real-time filter.
- Filters stack and interact with layers and effects below (demonstrated with a "Rain on Glass" filter)
- Powered by GPU and on-device capabilities; filter sharing is planned so the community can pass effects around
- Removes the old path of hunting plugins, learning to code, or waiting for someone else to build it
It's an early experimental preview, with the team building it alongside users.
