The latest updates to Adobe Lightroom and Photoshop include an exciting new approach to using presets. By building artificial intelligence into presets, Adobe has taken things a step further. Available in Camera Raw, Lightroom CC and Lightroom Classic (v11.4), the new Adaptive Presets are powered by machine learning. They work in a similar way to normal presets – but, rather than altering the entire image, they zero in on either the subject or the sky in an image, before applying tailored tonal effects to that specific area.
