If you’ve taken group photos before, you know how hard it is to get everybody to look in the same direction. With kids in the picture, it gets tougher, too. But now, Adobe has come with a solution to this problem. 

Adobe Photoshop Elements 

Gizmodo reports that Adobe Photoshop Elements 2021 will add more features to help you fix photos in post. For example, you only need to tweak a few sliders to change where each person in your photos are looking.

Moreover, Elements will also allow you to transform your photos into animated GIFs. The app will cut up your pictures and shuffle them around to create the illusion of movement. While you need to sit down for hours just to do this in other apps, you just have to click once in Elements to create the effect.

Adobe Face Tilt

However, it’s Elements’ Face Tilt feature that should hook you. With Face Tilt, Elements instantly recognizes faces and gives you three sliders. Just tweak the sliders to change where the person is looking. The app does this by sliding the face’s angle and orientation. You just need to make sure that the person’s face is visible in the photo. 

What Is Photoshop Elements?

Elements is the gateway app to Adobe Photoshop. The app uses the same advanced algorithms as Photoshop. However, its interface is simpler. According to Gizmodo, users practice with Elements before moving on to Photoshop.

So, if you wish to hone your photo editing skills, you could start with Adobe Photoshop Elements. You don’t even need to subscribe to Creative Cloud. You can buy Elements as a stand-alone app for $100.

Now that even advanced AI can doctor photos, Adobe wants to control the spread of fake images. The company intends to use its Photoshop software to identify edited images. 

Adobe Photoshop’s New Feature

The website Wired reports that Adobe has teamed up with other companies like Twitter and the New York Times to curb doctored photos. To meet its goals, Adobe has launched its Content Authenticity Initiative (CAI), together with its partner companies.

Later this year, Adobe plans to integrate the CAI tech into a preview version of Photoshop. Subscribers can see this new feature for themselves once they update. With this tech, Adobe also plans to stop the spread of fake news. Under COVID-19, fake news has become more dangerous.

How Does Adobe Photoshop’s CAI Work?

Gizmodo says that CAI will help people spot fake news by stamping the original photo with encrypted metadata. The data includes the photographer’s name, the timestamp, and the exact location of the picture taking. If someone edited the photo, Adobe would stamp it with the editor’s name. 

In Photoshop, users can see the data as soon as they open the photo. Through the CAI recording process, users can see a log of the people who edited the picture. The photo itself saves the record.

Also, CAI gives people information on where the photo appeared on news sites like The New York Times, or social media, like Adobe’s Behance. 

The only question is whether users themselves will bother looking up all these data. 

Will Adobe Photoshop’s CAI Tech Work?

For the CAI tech to work fully, Gizmodo says that the tech should feature on digital cameras, computers, mobile devices, and social networks. Adobe also has to educate people on how to use CAI to spot fake news.
