Advanced Actions (Artificial Intelligence)

I can't be the first person to ask this, and the feature has likely been requested using better language. Honestly, I can't be alone when I say I'd love to see something like Advanced AI Actions. Basically this would be leveraging AI to create bulk works using context-based actions, instead of the basic Actions we already have.

 

There could be some plug-in or other software for this that I'm unaware of. If so, PLEASE point me in the right direction!

 

Essentially I'm talking about recording and playing a sequence of actions, the execution of which is consistent in application but the result of which can vary depending on the visual context of each photo edited. I'm guessing the AI would have to be able to scan each image, take into account my recorded actions of more advanced techniques from one edit, then apply those actions to a completely new composition.

 

For example, let's say I'm editing bulk photos of apparel on models using a consistent workflow standard or sequence of techniques to get the finished result. Each model may need to be selected and cut from original backdrop, then pasted and retouched onto another, perhaps some frequency separation to smoothen crinkles on fabric, then apply new shadowing with some brush work added beneath their layers to anchor the subject to the new backdrop.

 

Each model pose is, of course, different to the next, so no one shadow orientation, frequency separation or brush line employed in a previous edit would necessarily apply to the next. However, as with manual editing, the same technique would have to still be applied in context to the new composition, to then produce a consistent final result across the bulk assets.

 

The only way I could think of achieving this is with AI.


Currently I'm unaware of any way to get actions to perform in such a way as to produce bulk edits based on the unique context of each image, and applying more advanced techniques that understand the context of their own application. Then I thought about PS Beta and "Firefly" and hoped that one day, Adobe could use AI to help us execute something like context-based actions that follow our (repetitive) workflow formulas, but then apply it to a completely new set of images afterwards.

 

For those of us who bulk edit on the daily, this feature would be a God-send. Is it possible or am I just being lazy? Perhaps there's already something out there that achieves this (let me know?)

 

thanks
