Yes, Adobe Lightroom does use AI to enhance photo quality, particularly through its “Adobe Sensei” AI technology. Here’s how Lightroom leverages AI to improve photos:
🔍 AI Features in Lightroom:
1. Enhance Details
- Uses AI-based demosaicing (through Adobe Sensei) to extract more detail and reduce artifacts in RAW files.
- Especially helpful for images from high-resolution sensors.
2. Denoise (AI-powered)
- Introduced in recent versions, this tool uses machine learning to remove noise from high-ISO images while preserving sharpness and color.
3. Masking & Selective Edits (AI masks)
- Automatically detects and selects:
- Subject
- Sky
- Background
- Allows for fast, accurate localized adjustments without manual brushing.
4. Portrait Enhancements
- AI-based skin smoothing, eye enhancement, and whitening tools are available in presets and selective edits.
5. Auto Settings
- The “Auto” button uses AI to analyze exposure, contrast, and color, and applies intelligent adjustments based on the photo’s content.
6. Content-Aware Remove
- Similar to Photoshop’s content-aware fill, this AI-based healing tool intelligently removes unwanted objects from photos.
🤖 AI vs Manual Editing
AI tools can greatly speed up workflow and provide excellent starting points, but professional editors often fine-tune results manually for the best quality.
