Adobe unveiled new features for Photoshop, Premiere, Lightroom, InDesign and Firefly at MAX in Miami Beach on November 10, 2026. Only some of them are generally available, such as the Color Mode in Premiere. The AI assistants run as a beta, and AI agents from other providers are not due to follow until early 2027 in a private beta.
Prices, credits and a statement on the German user interface are missing from Adobe's announcements. Adobe only gives a status for some of the features: beta, public beta, private beta or preview.
What is already available today?
According to Adobe, the new Creative Cloud features are generally available today, with the exception of those explicitly labeled as beta. The blog explicitly describes the Color Mode in Premiere, which bundles color correction and grading, as generally available.
In Photoshop, Relight places new light sources into the image non-destructively, and Generative Restyle tries out style variants and allows the intensity to be adjusted with a slider. According to the Adobe blog, the Remove tool also detects related elements such as shadows and reflections. The blog does not give a separate status for these tools.
What remains beta or preview?
The AI Assistants, which are based on Adobe's Creative Agent, run as a beta in Premiere, Illustrator, InDesign, After Effects and Frame.io. In Photoshop, the assistant is only in the Photoshop beta app, as are Mockups, Camera Angles, Generative Recompose and Convert to Text Layers. The Creative Agent carries out multi-step tasks.

Open Eyes in Lightroom replaces closed eyes based on a reference image and runs as a public beta, as does Co-Editing in InDesign. Firefly Design and Firefly Graph are considered beta, Firefly Builder private beta. Generative Remove in Premiere, which removes objects from a clip, is also still in beta.
The Generative Media Tool in Premiere generates video, sound effects, soundscapes and music directly in the timeline, with Firefly as well as with partner models from Google, Kling, Runway and Luma. Adobe does not give a status, costs or a date for the partner models in its blog and press releases.
When will AI agents from other providers work in Photoshop and Premiere?
Adobe plans to launch local MCP integrations for Photoshop, Illustrator, Premiere and After Effects in early 2027 as a private beta, as the press release states. MCP stands for Model Context Protocol, an open standard through which an AI agent learns which functions a program offers. The agent from another provider then works directly in the project file on your computer, and layers, vectors and sequences remain editable. According to the Adobe blog, those interested can sign up via a survey form.
Dr. Web points out that local does not mean that nothing leaves the computer: instructions and, depending on the task, image content as well go to the language model of the chosen agent provider. For customer photos, according to Dr. Web, a data processing agreement under Article 28 GDPR is necessary, and the agent changes the original file.
Google announced on the same day that Acrobat will soon open directly from Drive and Gmail, that Gemini and Gemini Enterprise will get integrations for Acrobat and Adobe's creative tools, and that these tools will also come to the AI Mode of Google Search. Google does not give prices, countries or dates.
What this means for you
It is best to install the Photoshop beta app and the other beta features on a test computer or to work on copies, not on the client project shortly before delivery. Try out Relight and Generative Restyle on a photo of your own and check in the program whether Generative Credits are deducted, because Adobe says nothing about this.
If you work with client material, clarify with the client before signing up for the MCP beta which image content may go to an agent provider. Until then, it is worth making a list of recurring tasks, such as format variants of a campaign, that can later be handed off to an agent.
Adobe presented the new features on November 10, 2026 at MAX in Miami Beach.
