Generative artificial intelligence products like ChatGPT, Gemini, and many others let you create images with text prompts. They also offer powerful editing tools that let you change real photos into anything you want.
These abilities won’t reduce our need to take photos and record videos of everything around us. You might tweak your memories with AI software, but you’ll still use a real camera to capture them.
Most of the time, it’s the camera readily available in your pocket. Your smartphone can already grab amazing photos and videos. The newer and more expensive the device, the better the camera experience. Also, that camera will almost always use AI (computational photography) while you’re pressing the shutter button to capture content.
Still, phones aren’t quite on par with DSLR cameras, even if they’re good enough to shoot movies like Brad Pitt’s upcoming F1 movie.
That’s where Project Indigo comes in, an ambitious project from Adobe. The company wants to put a DSLR-grade camera experience in your pocket by giving you manual control over photography settings and using AI to deliver the best possible quality for all kinds of photo scenarios.
The best part about Project Indigo is that it’s coming from an Adobe team that includes Marc Levoy, who was responsible for the amazing computational photography features Google built into its Pixel phones.
Project Indigo is available as a free download for now, so all iPhone users can install it on compatible devices. You don’t even need to sign into an Adobe account to use it. The app also works with Adobe’s popular Lightroom and Photoshop apps, where you might want to edit your photos.
