Adobe teases AI-based Clever Composites feature at Max Sneaks 2022 event: How it works

Adobe showcased Project Clever Composite as a part of Sneaks (experimental features), allowing users to combine two images. The feature uses AI to recognise two images and then combine them, resulting in a composite image. Now, users would argue that it was already possible to make a composite image using the selection and trim tools; why is Adobe making such a big deal? Well, the answer is both interesting and dull. 

What is the new Project Clever Composite feature and how does it work?

Usually, when users want to make a composite image using two different images, they cut either of them and place it on the other. However, that is not all. Users also have to adjust the scaling and lighting and match the colour of both scenes for the image to look natural. While putting it into words, it may look like an easy task, but the process could take several minutes to complete. This is where the new Project Clever Composites comes in as it does all the work mentioned above, including cutting, pasting, and adjusting other values. 

Clever Composites is an AI-driver feature that can automatically recognise different objects in an image and cut them out. Users must press the Auto Compose button, and the feature creates a composite image. It can also generate shadows based on the background’s lighting for the object in focus. Users also get options to remove the added shadows or reverse the scaling. Adobe is also working on other experimental features such as Project Blink, which enables searching in videos, and Project All Of Me, which un-crops images using AI. 

Such feature already exists on other platforms

Now for the dull part, some tools already allow users to separate backgrounds from an image and cut it over another. For instance, Canva is a tool that allows users to create composite images with clicks. Let’s suppose that a user needs to create an image of himself in front of the Himalayas. All he has to do is upload his image, use the Background Remover tool on Canva to separate the image from its background, cut it, and paste it onto an image of the Himalayas. Then the user can also adjust the colour and lighting of both images to make them look natural. Although Canva does not provide the comprehensive features of Adobe, it can create a basic composite image in seconds.
