Background & analysis
On November 10, 2026, Adobe announced a batch of Creative Cloud and Firefly AI updates at its MAX conference in Miami Beach.
According to The Verge, Premiere gained a new Generative Remove tool as part of this round of video-editing updates, with the stated aim of making designing and editing easier.
IT之家 reported that Adobe showed off a local Model Context Protocol (MCP) capability for Creative Cloud at the conference, allowing third-party AI agents such as those from OpenAI, Google and Anthropic to operate Photoshop, Illustrator, Premiere and After Effects locally and modify native project files stored on users' computers. Adobe also upgraded the Firefly AI assistant so agents can keep handling recurring tasks in the background; their work can still be picked up by users at any time, since layers, vector graphics, bins and sequences remain editable, and an agent connected to other MCP-supporting tools can complete an entire workflow across software.
According to The Next Web, most of the new tools for Photoshop, Premiere and Lightroom were available on launch day, while a few remained in beta. Photoshop Relight can add and adjust virtual light sources, Generative Restyle turns text edits into a layer with sliders, and the Remove Tool also clears footsteps, reflections and shadows. Adobe additionally announced that external AI agents will be allowed to work inside its applications from early 2027.
