Photoshop Camera's portraiture skills are particularly astonishing. Here is where the program gets down to serious photography. You can drop into a mode that opens up a new set of options that let you control things like skin smoothness (something this correspondent welcomes with open arms), lighting, and three separate bokeh settings for precise creative control over the background blur. If you have some of your own ideas for lenses, you can either suggest them (there's a feedback form in the app's preference set tings) or apply to be a creator yourself with a link in the library. It does, according to Adobe, require some expertise with Photoshop, but the company's clear intent has always been to get great lenses from the best artists and top creative influencers like Billie Eilish, who contributed her devil-wings and blohsch- themed lenses. Adobe has been stirring its pot of art, technology, and AI for some years now in an effort to help creative people share whatever their imagination dreams up. At the same time, they have been moving make their tools more accessible to everyone who has an image and an idea and not just the privileged few who can master the intricacies of complex software tools. This has been an ongoing theme in the evolution of its flagship programs, and even more so in its mobile apps like Fresco, Spark and Rush. Photoshop Camera takes this theme even further than anyone would have imagined. It is truly a magical confluence of art and AI that will let almost anyone show the world not only what they see, but what they dream.
