What's New in Photoshop BetaThis month's Photoshop Beta update adds Enhance Edge and a redesigned Stock panel, plus Relight improvements and fixes across stability, color, tools, and localization. New FeaturesEnhance EdgeClean up color fringe along mask edges. Select a mask, pick Enhance Edge from the Contextual Task Bar or by right-clicking a layer mask, and Photoshop uses AI to decontaminate the edge while holding onto fine detail like hair and fur. It uses 20 generative credits, and Content Credentials are recorded on the output layer. View Post.Redesigned Stock panelSearch, preview, and license Adobe Stock content without leaving Photoshop. Browse free and paid assets, drag them straight to your canvas, and keep an eye on your credit balance from the panel. View Post. ImprovementsRelightContent Credentials are now recorded on Relight output layers. The Original Lighting slider now defaults to 100% for a brighter starting point (was 50%). Added X and Y position sliders in Light Properties for precise placement.Remove toolOutput layers are now named "Remove tool edits 1, 2..." instead of a placeholder. Bug FixesCrashes and stabilityFixed crashes when using Transform (Cmd/Ctrl+T) on a Relight layer, switching to the AI Assisted workspace with an Indexed Color document, and converting Grayscale to Duotone. Fixed an intermittent hang on launch when scratch disk space was low. [Win] Fixed intermittent hangs in the Sky Replacement, Adaptive Wide Angle, and Focus Area dialogs.RelightFixed Relight layers turning into a zoomed-in crop after using the Crop tool, and distorting when changing bit depth from 8-bit to 16-bit. Fixed typed-in slider values not updating the canvas, and unnecessary re-generation when the lighting had not changed. Fixed the Contextual Task Bar disappearing when opening the Relight flyout menu, and the tool label showing placeholder text instead of "Relight".Enhance EdgeFixed output layer content sometimes going invisible after merging layers.Color and display[Mac] Fixed GPU rendering artifacts and color banding when converting RGB to CMYK with HDR color management on. [Win] Fixed a temporary color shift when enabling Live Gaussian Blur. Fixed tiling artifacts when reordering layers with Gaussian Blur applied, and the transparency checkerboard rendering with incorrect gamma when HDR color management was on.ToolsFixed the Move tool Auto Select Group/Layer dropdown behaving opposite to its label, glitchy rotate snapping that skipped 15-degree increments, and the Quick Compare view setting not persisting after a restart. [Win] Fixed the brush hardness shortcut (Shift+bracket) also changing brush size.UI and panelsFixed the Color Balance panel not scaling correctly. [Win] Fixed the truncated Stock search field.LocalizationFixed "AI Assisted" and "Pro Editor" labels showing in English regardless of locale, and the "Generating with Firefly Fill & Expand" string not being localized during Generative Expand.

Quick Compare gives you a built-in view for toggling between your current edited state and the original — where "original" is how the file looked when you opened it this session.Enter the modal view and zoom, pan, and move freely to inspect exactly the details you care about. Use Single View to flip between states, or Split View to drag a slider and reveal the before/after in place.It's already resonating with how people work:"A simple way to demonstrate the before/after view — great for visualizing the changes from a technique I just taught."  "I do a lot of rebuild work as a finisher for entertainment, and I have to make sure items don't jump too much. This would be SUPER helpful."  "Perfect for deciding whether I've gone too far when iterating through adjustments and manipulations."  Give it a test drive and tell us what you think — your feedback shapes where this goes next. 

Welcome to Prompt to Brand, a new four-part series. One idea, four Creative Cloud apps, one brand, built end to end over the next few weeks:Part 1 (this week): Adobe Express - give it a name and a face. Part 2: Photoshop - put it in a real photo. Part 3: Illustrator - get it onto real merch. Part 4: Premiere - cut its launch reel.You don't need to do all four to join in. Show up whenever suits you. But if you follow the whole arc, you'll walk away with a small, real-looking campaign for a brand that exists nowhere but here.One house rule for the whole series: a prompt on its own doesn't count. THE CHALLENGE: NAME SOMETHING THAT SHOULDN'T EXISTInvent a brand. The more delightfully unlikely the business, the better: a coffee roaster run by wolves, a gym for ghosts, a festival for a made-up holiday. Prefer something closer to real life? A band, a café, or your actual side project all work too.Give it a name, then bring it to life with Adobe Express.WHAT TO INCLUDEA brand name. A logo or wordmark - a mascot, an icon, or just the name styled well. Simple is fine. 2 to 3 brand colors saved so you can reuse them all month. One piece of collateral built from it: a menu, a flyer, or a social post, whichever fits the brand.  HERE'S MINE HOW TO TAKE PARTReply to this thread with:Your logo and your one piece of collateral. A line on your process - the brand, the workflow, one decision you made. This is genuinely the best part to read, so don't skip it.Note: Keep your logo and colors handy. You'll need them again in Part 2. 🗓 Reply by Monday, 7 September, to be featured in the round-up before Part 2 goes live. WHAT'S NEXTPart 2: Put Your Brand in the Wild, live Wednesday, 9 September. We're taking this week's brand into Photoshop and making it look like it exists somewhere: on a shopfront, a billboard, or a shelf.👍 Like · ⭐ Subscribe to follow the series · 📣 Share with someone who'd want to build a brand with you

September 2026: “The Horse at the Window”by Celeste GuidiceAbout the ImageThis month I'm sharing one of my favorite barn shots — a curious horse leaning out of a Dutch door window, taking in the world outside.

Hi everyone! As a dialogue editor, I've always chased the same thing: the tool that gets me the best-sounding result in the least amount of time, and the most control over my dialogue, whether I recorded it myself or it came back from set in whatever shape it happened to be in.For years, the answer meant reaching for a few different tools. One to make the voice sound better, another to wrestle down the background noise. And production audio is never just "speech." There's ambience, there's music, there are effects, all baked into the same recording, and that's exactly what makes cleaning it up so hard.This is where Enhance Audio comes to shine. In the same spirit as what we showed at MAX Sneaks last year, it hands you control over the ambience, the music, the sound effects, and the dialogue, and lets you rebalance every stem as much as you need. That's what makes it one of the most powerful noise reduction tools in Premiere today.For a couple of years now, the one thing you've told us over and over is that you want the same Enhance Speech enhancement you get on the web, right inside Premiere. That's exactly what Enhance Audio brings in, and it brings it all together. The next generation of Enhance Speech is live now in Premiere Beta 27.0 (Build 36), pairing Enhance Speech V2 with full source separation, built right in.What's New?Point Enhance Audio at a clip and it pulls the recording apart into its component layers: speech, music, ambience, sound effects, and reverb. From there you're not stuck with one blended result. You can dial how much enhancement lands on the voice and balance the separated layers against each other until the clip sits the way you need.It's a hybrid approach. The source separation runs on-device, while Enhance Speech V2, our highest-quality voice model, runs in the cloud as part of Firefly. As a cloud model it draws two generative credits per minute, from the pool already included with your Creative Cloud subscription. Want to stay fully local? Enhance Audio works with Enhance Speech V1 too, and picking it still gives you the complete source separation on-device, with no credits used. Enhancing with V2 is the only thing that ever touches your credits.You also choose which model runs globally. Set a default in Preferences, or switch between V1 and V2 on the fly from the settings inside the Properties panel when a clip calls for it. Clip Settings to switch between Enhance Speech Cloud or local modelAI Model Preferences Where to find itEnhance Audio lives in the Audio section of the Properties panel. Select a clip and the Enhance controls are right there. Prefer menus? You can trigger it from the right-click menu or the Clip menu just as easily. Either way, select your clip, click Enhance, and Premiere does its thing. When it's done, you're ready to start reshaping the clip. Enhance Audio as part of the Properties PanelRight click menu entry pointThe controlsOnce a clip is enhanced, you get a section for each layer: dialogue, music, ambience, and sound effects.Dialogue is where you get the most say, with three controls:Volume, to ride the level of the dialogue on its own. Enhancement, to set how much cleanup you want. Take it all the way down and you're back to the original sound; push it up and you get the full treatment from Enhance Speech V2, with everything in between on the table. Reverb, to pull the room off the voice. How much this one does depends on the clip: a reverberant recording will show an obvious change, while a dry one barely moves. It only touches the reverb on the speech, nothing else.   Enhance Audio Dialogue ControlsMusic, ambience, and sound effects each get a volume control, so you can bring a stem up, tuck it down, or click its icon to mute it entirely when you want it gone. And you're not doing this blind. The clip's waveform reacts as you go, so the moment you lower or mute a stem, you can watch the change land right there on the timeline. Full Stems ControlsEditing after you enhanceHere's one that used to drive people up the wall. On Enhance Speech V1, every little edit, a cut, a fade, a trim, kicked off another re-render. That's gone. Edit an enhanced clip however you like and it just plays, no reprocessing to sit through.Every enhancement also comes with five seconds of handles on each side. Trim in or pull out within those handles and there's nothing to reprocess, it's already done. The only time Premiere goes back to work is when you extend past the handles into material it hasn't analyzed yet, and even then it only processes the new section, not the whole clip.One thing to keep in mind on Enhance Speech V2: reprocessing that new material runs through the cloud model, so it draws credits at the usual two-per-minute rate, just for the speech enhancement part. Stay inside your handles, or work on V1, and it costs you nothing. Splitting to clipsWant to really get in there? You can split the enhanced result into separate clips, one per element. Speech, music, ambience, and effects each land on the timeline as their own clip, so you can edit, level, and move them on their own. It's the difference between a cleaner clip and a real starting point: exactly what you want when you're prepping a turnover, or any time you'd rather work the stems by hand. Work with the stems as individual clips in the timelineWhy this mattersCleaning up production audio has always meant hopping between tools, or accepting one blended pass and hoping it holds. When the dialogue, the room, the traffic outside, and the music bed are all fused into one recording, a single "reduce noise" move can only get you so far. Real separation is what turns that from damage control into actual control, and now it's sitting right where you already edit.You can:Enhance dialogue to studio-level quality without leaving Premiere. Separate speech, music, ambience, sound effects, and reverb in a single pass. Rebalance those layers instead of accepting one blended result. Run cloud-based Enhance Speech V2 for top quality, or Enhance Speech V1 fully on-device with separation included. Split the result into independent clips for turnovers or full timeline control.   Try It OutEnhance Audio is live now in Premiere Beta 27.0 (Build 36). Throw your real production audio at it, the messy stuff, and tell us how it holds up. We're still working through a number of details and there's more on the way, but we wanted this in your hands as early as we could. Your feedback right now is what shapes where it goes.Happy editing from your audio friends!Note: Still polishing plenty here, so expect things to keep changing as we iterate.

The Effects panel just got a major glow-up! Animated previews give you a sense of what an effect does, and advanced search makes it more likely you'll find what you're looking for. It's visual, it's fun, and it just might help you find something creative that's been hiding in plain sight.Say hello to the New Effects Panel — a reimagined Effects panel that shows you what an effect actually does before you commit to it.What's NewAnimated preview thumbnails. Hover over an effect or transition and you'll see a short animated preview of it in action, so you know what you're getting before you drag it onto a clip. Preview from Source. Want to know what an effect will look like on your footage, not a generic clip? Preview from Source is an option that shows the effect applied to whatever's under your playhead in the Program Monitor. Scrubbing stays smooth — previews update once you let go of the playhead, not while you're dragging through it. Smarter search. We overhauled search with keyword matching, so searching "color" surfaces obvious hits like Lumetri Color, but also less obvious ones like Brightness & Contrast or Vignette.  We thoughtfully tagged each effect with terms editors (and non-editors) actually use so you don't need to know exact Adobe-specific term to find what you're looking for.  “Green screen” will yield “Ultra Key” for example. Fuzzy search. Typo'd "Gassain" instead of "Gaussian"? We'll still find it. Search now tolerates small misspellings, giving you a greater chance of finding what you are looking for. Browsable by category. Click a folder in the effects tree — Blur & Sharpen, Color Correction, whatever — and the browser shows previews for everything inside it. You can still search the folder tree if that’s the way you prefer to work. Favorites, unchanged. Starring an effect still adds it to your Favorites bin, just like before. We haven't taken anything away — only added the visual layer on top.This effort is closely tied to the Film Impact acquisition — a lot of the visual inspiration comes straight from the Film Impact Dashboard, which many of you have used through Window > Extensions. As the Visual Effects Browser rolls out, we will retire the Film Impact Dashboard, since its functionality is now built natively into the Effects panel you already use every day. All effects are in one place, including Film Impact which no longer have any Film Impact branding.But wait, there’s moreThe Effects panel and the Properties panel are besties! Now that you can edit effect parameters in the Properties panel, the experience of adding and manipulating effects feels way more modern.  Try them both out together!  Learn more about the properties panel here: Now in Beta: Effects in Properties PanelThings to look out forPreview thumbnails are only for Video Effects and transitions. Audio effects and transitions don't have visual previews yet. We're investigating visual previews for these down the line. Preview from Source currently only works for video effects.  Video transitions and audio do not support preview from source. 3rd party plugins will not have previews or keywords, but we will publish a plugin SDK update so they can add them in later releases if they choose.We Want Your FeedbackPlease install the beta, open a project, and take the new Effects panel for a spin. We'd especially love to hear about:Whether the animated previews actually help you pick the right effect faster How Preview from Source feels in a real project — timing, accuracy, performance Search: are you finding effects you expect with natural-language or misspelled queries?

Hi everyone,A lot of you have asked for a faster way to make text changes in PDFs without switching modes, hunting through menus, or manually selecting every instance. Today that's here, for individual Acrobat Pro and Studio users on desktop.You can now edit, format, highlight, and redact PDF text by chatting with AI Assistant, and it finds what you're asking about based on its meaning or appearance, not just exact matches.Here's what that looks like in practice. Say you have a proposal PDF and you want every client name swapped out before sending. Instead of running Find & Replace twelve times, you type: "Replace all client names with Brightfield." AI Assistant reads the document, finds every match, shows you a preview, and waits for you to accept or skip each change before applying anything. Want all the dates highlighted in yellow? Same idea: "Highlight all dates in yellow." What you can do with Edit PDFs via chatReplace, rewrite, restructure, or delete text based on its meaning Change font style, size, color, family, spacing, and indentation Add, recolor, or remove highlights Redact sensitive information across single or multiple instances Find text by meaning or appearance Chain multiple actions in one request Reference sections by topic, AI Assistant finds the right pages and elements for youWhat's the difference between Edit text, Format text, and Highlight text?Edit text — replace, rewrite, restructure, or delete the words themselves Format text — change font style, size, color, family, spacing, and indentation Highlight text — add, recolor, or remove highlights on identified textWhat's available on your plan  Tool Reader Standard Pro Studio Find, Print, Share, Add Signature ✓ ✓ ✓ ✓ Create, Convert, Delete, Export, Extract, Find & Replace, Rotate pages, Compress, Password protect, Scan & OCR — ✓ ✓ ✓ Organize, Header, Footer, Watermark — — ✓ ✓ Edit text, Format text, Highlight text, Redact text via chat — — ✓ ✓ Multi-tool workflows — — ✓ ✓ Content-aware prompts — — ✓ ✓  NOTE: All conversational actions, including text editing, formatting, highlighting, redacting, multi-tool workflows, and content-aware prompts, require an individual Acrobat Pro or Studio plan and are not yet supported on Teams or Enterprise plans.

 The HSL Mask Tool and Luminance Mask Tool let you create a mask based on color or brightness in your footage, rather than drawing a shape by hand. Sample a color or luminance range directly from the frame and Premiere generates the mask for you. This differs from HSL Secondary, which isolates a color for grading rather than creating a mask you can apply to any effect.To create a mask, long press the mask icon in the toolbar and select HSL Mask or Luminance Mask. Then click on the area of your clip in the Program Monitor that contains the color or brightness range you want to mask.Masks created with these tools appear in the Properties panel under the effect they are attached to, and work in both Edit mode and Color Mode.

We have below fixes in this build:AI Assistant — Beta Release NotesFollowing our last beta drop , here's the next batch of AI Assistant improvements — now live in the latest Illustrator Beta. This release is focused on making Skills fully manageable from the UI, smoother file attachments, and squashing a set of high-priority stability bugs you flagged.A quick reminder — what the Assistant is: your product partner that takes on the repetitive, time-consuming work, so you can spend more time designing and creating.What's newManage Skills directly from the UISkills are no longer just create-and-run — you can now create, edit, and delete them without retyping anything.Create & edit Skills from a dedicated Skill editor. Kick off the edit flow straight from the / menu(button or keypress). Delete a Skill from the UI, including from within an active session. Cleaner, more consistent Skill file naming.How to use: Type / in the Assistant field to browse your Skills, then create, edit, or delete right from there. Faster ways to attach filesGetting your references into the Assistant is quicker and more natural.Paste to attach:copy an image or take a screenshot and pressCtrl+Vto upload it directly. Copy-paste files:Ctrl+C / Ctrl+V any file straight into the chat. Attachment-only messages:send files without needing to type a prompt.How to use: Copy an image/file (or screenshot), click into the Assistant panel, and paste with Ctrl+V — or use the "+" icon as before.Fixes & stabilityNewly created objects now stay selected when you ask the Assistant to keep them selected. Locked-layer detection— the active layer's lock state is now reported correctly, so draw operations no longer fail silently. The Assistant no longer produces vector art when you ask for an image. Create image + Image Trace no longer times out with 0x100009.How to open the AssistantOpen Illustrator Beta (v30.7 or later). Click the AI Assistant button in the top-right of the application bar. Describe the task you want done.We need your feedbackAfter every response, use the thumbs up / thumbs down buttons and tell us what worked or missed. We're collecting requirements for the next drop right now — your feedback directly shapes where AI Assistant goes next.Fixed UV issues:[Vote Count : 1] : [Beta] Pressing Cmd/Ctrl+Enter when entering a new channel value in a CMYK color modifies zero channel values

Version 27.0x33 of After Effects Beta introduces support for editable text from Illustrator files.Previously, converting an Illustrator layer to native shapes would turn all its vector content into shape layers and text would be lost unless it had been converted to curves. Now, text stays text: when you use Create Shapes and Text from Vector Layer on an Illustrator footage layer, text objects come into your comp as fully editable After Effects text layers instead of outlines. Font, size, fill, position, styles (like bold and italic), strokes, and variable font settings all carry over, so you can keep editing in After Effects instead of being locked into static shapes.  Getting StartedSelect an imported Illustrator layer in the Timeline, then choose Layer > Create > Create Shapes and Text from Vector Layer. Any text in the source file will be converted into its own editable text layer (rather than a shape layer), matching the font, size, fill, and position from the original file as closely as possible. Shapes in the same file still convert to shape layers as before, and, if a file contains both, you'll get a mix of text and shape layers.We'd love your feedback on:How well converted text matches the original Illustrator styling (font, fill, size, position, bold/italic, strokes, variable font axes) Whether text layers are split up the way you'd expect when a file has multiple text objects or paragraphs Any fonts, styles, or layouts that don't convert as expected General feel of the workflow compared to the old shapes-only conversionKnown Issues and Feature LimitationsStroke-only text will still convert as paths. This is a technical limitation. In some cases, position will be retained but be numerically different because the anchor point may be in a different location.Please give this new functionality a try and let us know how it's working for you! 

Welcome back to the Illustrator Creative Challenges - our monthly nudge to open Illustrator, learn something, and share it with the community. This time, we're zooming right in on a single, brilliant feature - the Pattern tool, and using it to design seamless gift wrap. THE CHALLENGE: WRAP A HOLIDAY THAT DOESN'T EXISTDesign a sheet of wrapping paper for an occasion nobody's ever celebrated. Invent the holiday, draw one small motif, and let the Pattern tool repeat it into seamless gift wrap. The tool is the point, the theme is yours.WHAT TO INCLUDEOne repeating motif (or a small set) - the star of your paper. A seamless tile - no visible seams or gaps where the pattern repeats. A defined palette - two to four colors that feel like a set. (Optional) show it as wrap - drop your pattern onto a box or roll so it looks real.The magic metric here: invisible seams. When you can't tell where one tile ends and the next begins, you've nailed it. HERE'S MINEI made wrapping paper for National Nap Day - sleepy animals, crescent moons, and little "zzz"s. Here's the workflow:I drew a few small motifs - a curled-up cat, a crescent moon, a tiny "zzz", a chicken, and more - with the Shape and Pen tools. I then selected all the objects and chose Object > Pattern > Make, which dropped me straight into Pattern Editing Mode and added a swatch to the Swatches panel. In the Pattern Options panel, I switched the Tile Type to Brick by Row, set the offset to 1/3 and nudged the spacing to 100pt, so the motifs scatter naturally instead of sitting in a stiff grid. I hit Done, drew a big rectangle, and clicked my swatch to fill it. A quick scale (with Transform Patterns turned on) sized the motifs just right.  YOUR ONE TOOL FOR THIS CHALLENGE: THE PATTERN TOOLMake it - draw a few motifs, select them all, and choose Object > Pattern > Make. Illustrator saves a swatch and opens Pattern Editing Mode. Dial the tile - in the Pattern Options panel, change the Tile Type (Grid, Brick by Row/Column, Hex) and adjust spacing and overlap. This is where a rigid grid becomes a natural, professional scatter. Edit anytime - double-click the swatch to re-enter and tweak; every object using the pattern updates automatically. Apply & scale - click Done, select a big rectangle, and click your swatch to fill it. To resize the motifs without resizing the box, scale with Transform Patterns on (Object > Transform).The only supporting act: draw your motif first with the Shape and Pen tools. Simple, chunky shapes tile far more cleanly than fiddly ones. HOW TO TAKE PARTReply to this thread with:Your finished gift wrap - a filled sheet showing the repeat. A line on your process - the holiday you invented, and how you tiled it (Tile Type, spacing). Honestly, this is the best part to read, so don't skip it.  👍 Like · ⭐ Subscribe for the next one · 📣 Share with someone who'd join in

We are happy to introduce Enhance Edge is available in Beta (Aug 31, 2026 - 27.11.0 20260830.m.3655). WHAT IS THIS FEATURE Enhance Edge uses AI to analyze pixels at the edge of a mask, removing background color fringing while preserving fine details and generating smooth, natural-looking edges. This feature is particularly good at removing high contrast background colors from hair and fur.Enhance Edge is a Generative AI feature that costs 20 credits and requires an internet connection.  HOW TO TEST 1. Open or place an image you would like to cut out or remove the background. Note that this feature is best used on color-contaminated edges.2. Select a pixel layer that contains an object or subject → Select Remove Background.  Currently, Remove Background leaves a blue “halo” around the hair.Note: you can run Enhance Edge on any Layer Mask. Just select the Layer Mask in the Layers Panel and right-click the thumbnail to open the context menu. Select "Enhance edge"          3. On the Mask Contextual Task Bar, select "Enhance edge"  Results: A new “Enhance Edge” layer is created above the existing Remove Background layer. The Edge has been enhanced and the blue halo is now removed.  Known Limitations or Issues:The Internet is required to use Enhanced Edge. If you don't have an active internet connection, the Enhanced Edge will be disabled. Questions / Areas of Feedback Needed:Does Refine Edge decontaminate edges, such as hair and fur, with high-quality results? Email examples of failures to durocher@adobe.com.   Add Feedback by clicking on the "Beaker" icon in the top right of the Photoshop window.  Find "Enhance Edge" in the left panel, and provide YES, Enhance Edge is ready to be released to the non-Beta Photoshop (full) release or NO, Enhance Edge is not ready to be released to the Photoshop full release. Leave a comment if you have one... Or you can leave a comment in this Beta Forum post.

Seeing "Something went wrong" or "Can't load" when a Firefly generation fails? You're probably wondering: did I just lose credits for that? Short answer: no — here's what actually happens to your credits when a generation fails, and what to do if they don't come back on their own.Example of a message you might see if a generation failsHow credits are supposed to work:Credits are deducted the moment you hit Generate — not after the image/video successfully renders. If the generation then fails (server error, timeout, content policy block, etc.), those credits are automatically returned to your balance. This isn't always instant, so give it a little time before assuming they're gone for good. Screenshot of where to find your generative credit count and credit reset date If your credits genuinely don't come back:Check your balance again after a short wait — refunds aren't always immediate. Note the details of the failed generation while they're fresh: Browser & OS version Which Firefly model you were using (Image, Video, Kling, etc.) Your exact prompt (or a screenshot of it) Whether you used a reference image Approximate time of the failure How many credits are missing Take a screenshot of the error message if you still have it. Create a new post in the Adobe Firefly community with all of the above so the support team can investigate general "this happened to me too" comments on other threads are harder to track than a dedicated post with details. "Thanks for reading. Happy creating, and see you in the next post!"

Have you run into issues where your Brand Kits, fonts, colors, or logos aren't working as expected in Adobe Express? You're not alone. To help you get back up and running quickly, we've put together a list of common symptoms and troubleshooting steps that may resolve the issue before you reach out to support. Check the table below to find the scenario that best matches what you're experiencing and the recommended next steps. Issue What You May See Possible Cause  Recommended Fix Brand missing on iPad/Mobile Brand appears on desktop but not on iPad or mobile. May be related to syncing delays, app version differences, or mobile-specific issues. Sign out/in, verify if it works in the web app, and collect device model, OS, and app version if the issue persists. Brand Kits disappeared Brand Kits missing from Express but still visible in Creative Cloud Libraries. May be related to account/profile selection, browser issues, or Library sync delays. Verify the correct Adobe profile/team, try another browser, sign out/in, and test in a new project. "Failed to add library at this time" Library cannot be linked back to Express. Library linking or access issue between Adobe Express and Creative Cloud Libraries. Check network allowlisting and try moving the Library into an Express Project. Blank Brand Editor Opening a Brand shows a white screen with no fonts, colors, or logos. Browser rendering issue, loading failure, or service-related problem. Try another browser/incognito window and capture exact reproduction steps for investigation. Brand fonts disappear in AI-generated templates Fonts work in preview but become invisible after clicking Edit Template. Template rendering issue when transitioning from AI-generated preview to editable design. Test another AI-generated template, switch browsers, and verify network access. Fonts greyed out in Brand Library Fonts show as activated in Adobe Fonts but cannot be selected. Font permission or account entitlement restriction. Check if you're using an Education/Enterprise account and verify font permissions with your admin. Fonts/Text not loading Font panel shows a loading spinner indefinitely. Font service connectivity, browser cache, or network restrictions. Try another browser, clear cache/cookies, and verify network allowlisting. "Apply to all pages" disabled in video templates Option cannot be turned on. Expected behavior. Most video templates are treated as single-page documents. No action needed. The option is only available for multi-page documents. Brand assets loading slowly Brand logos, colors, fonts, or Library files take time to appear after being added or updated. May indicate a latency or synchronization delay rather than a user-side action issue. Refresh Adobe Express, sign out/in, try another browser, and check again after some time. If the issue continues, collect browser, device, OS, account type, and a screen recording. Brand images keep spinning or fail to load Logos or frequently used Brand images do not load and keep spinning, while other logos may load normally. Potential asset-specific loading or sync issue. Try another browser or incognito/private window, clear cache, and test on another network. If only one asset fails, re-upload that specific logo/image and test again. Brand / "Your Stuff" not loading Brand Kits, projects, or files may not load, or users may see a generic error experience. Could be related to a broader Adobe Express service issue. Check whether Adobe Express is currently experiencing a service issue. If the issue affects multiple users, collect timing, region, and screenshots. Network delay or connection-related loading issue Brand assets load inconsistently, pages take longer than expected, or content appears only after refresh/retry. Third-party network or service disruptions can cause intermittent loading and access issues. Test on another network, temporarily disable VPN/proxy if allowed, try another browser, and capture a HAR file if reproducible. Shared Brand not visible to recipient A Brand was shared, but the recipient cannot see it under Brands. Recipient may be signed in with a different Adobe profile/account or sharing may not have completed successfully. Confirm the recipient is using the correct Adobe profile. Re-share the Brand and verify they received the email or in-app notification. Incorrect permission on shared Brand Recipient can use the Brand but cannot edit it. Brand was shared with View & Use access instead of Edit access. Ask the Brand owner to update permissions to Can edit if editing privileges are required. Previously shared Brand needs to be re-shared Older shared Brands or migrated Brand assets are inaccessible. Previously shared Brands may require re-sharing after migration or updates. Re-share the Brand from Your Stuff > Brands > Invite people and verify the correct account/profile is being used. Brand Kit / Library link issue Library cannot be linked back to Adobe Express or Brand assets do not sync from Creative Cloud Libraries. Library connection or synchronization issue, sometimes related to latency. Confirm Library access, sign out/in, switch browsers, and allow time for synchronization. If unresolved, collect account information and repro steps. Enterprise or team access confusion Brand is visible for one teammate but not another, or access differs across accounts. Users may be signed into different organizations, profiles, or teams. Confirm the correct organization/profile/team. Collect account type, Brand name, sharer information, and the affected platform. Performance-related Brand loading issue Brand panel opens slowly, assets appear delayed, or Adobe Express becomes unresponsive while loading Brand content. General performance, browser resource usage, or backend responsiveness issues. Close unnecessary tabs/apps, try a supported browser, test with a simpler project, and collect console/HAR logs if the issue persists. Note- If the issue persists, please share your device details, browser version, Adobe account type (Personal, Teams, Education, or Enterprise), and a screen recording of the issue. This information will help the community and Adobe team investigate the problem more effectively.

 An insurance agent sends Acme Corp a renewal agreement every year. Last year, she uploaded four documents, configured recipient authentication, set reminders, and placed every signature field by hand. Every year, only the policy document changes, and yet she's staring at a new Request Signature flow again, rebuilding a transaction she's already built a dozen times.That's the setup loop: every send starts from zero, even when 90% of the configuration is identical to a previous one. It’s slow, and every piece of data you enter and every form field you place again create another opportunity for error.Every minute spent rebuilding a similar agreement is a minute not spent closing the next deal. The efficiency caseMany teams that repeatedly send the same or similar agreements, such as onboarding packets, license renewals, and vendor contracts, aren't just losing time. They're also losing consistency. Each manual rebuild is a chance for a recipient's email to be mistyped, a field to be placed incorrectly, or a setting to be missed.One enterprise customer put it plainly: rebuilding near-identical amendments from scratch, re-entering the same internal and external signers, the same manufacturer details, every time, was cutting their team's productivity in half.Copy Agreement is built to close that inefficiency. Our goal is to reduce the average send time and make it as seamless as possible to send your agreements. At 10 sends a week, that's an hour reclaimed. For agreements with dozens of fields, multiple recipients, or custom routing, the savings are easily double or triple that. What actually carries overSelect an agreement, then click Copy. Acrobat Sign then opens a new Compose page that isn't a blank slate: it's a working replica of the original, ready for you to adjust.Attached files, with form fields, positions, validation rules, and recipient assignments already in place The agreement name and message Every recipient: name, email, role, delivery method, signing order, authentication method, and private messages CC list, reminder frequency, signature type, language, and access restrictions Your User Management Group selection, if your org uses oneThe Compose page after copying: documents, agreement name, message, and settings pre-filled and ready to edit.In practice, that means the only work left is the work that's actually different this time: a new document version, a swapped-in recipient, a corrected email address. Everything else, the parts that don't change, stays exactly as you configured it. How it worksCopy is available to all users in enterprise-tier accounts. There's no setup, template, or admin configuration required. You can access it from two places on the Manage page: select an agreement and look for Create a Copy in the context panel or hover over any row in the list view for the same shortcut. Either way, you land on a pre-filled Compose page, ready to edit.Annotated Manage page showing the two entry points.And if you just sent an agreement that needs to be replicated and sent again, we've also added it right after sending.Sending similar agreements to several people in a row? The “Create a copy” tile on the post-send confirmation page lets you start from what you just sent, adjust it for the next recipient, and send again.The “Create a copy” tile on the post-send confirmation page. From the Home pageThe copy action also appears in the new Recent Agreements section on the Home page. Hover over an agreement row, click the “Copy” quick tool, and you're in a pre-filled Compose page without a detour through Manage.The Copy quick action in Recent Agreements on the Home page. Section position may vary by user role within the account. Where this saves the most timeAnnual policy renewals: Back to our insurance agent. The recipient, authentication method, and reminder schedule don't change year over year; only the policy document does. She copies last year's completed agreement, swaps in the new policy, and sends. No re-entry, no re-checking her own work. The same pattern shows up anywhere the paperwork is repetitive, but the relationship is stable: a real estate broker renewing leases with identical terms and signature blocks each season, or a procurement team sending the same vendor agreement to new suppliers under unchanged payment terms.Correcting a cancelled or expired agreement: Typo in a recipient's email, right after you hit send? You can always correct the email address, but what if the agreement already expired? Or what if it was rejected by the person who accidentally received it? Instead of rebuilding the agreement from scratch, just copy it, fix the one field that was wrong, and resend, with signing order, authentication, and document fields intact.Same agreement, new recipient: When the agreement itself rarely changes, such as a standard partner license agreement, but the recipient does, Copy Agreement turns “rebuild from scratch” into “swap one recipient and send.” Try it on your next recurring sendThe next time you feel the setup loop starting, skip it. Open a similar agreement you’ve already sent, copy it, make the necessary adjustments, and send it again. You can then devote the time you saved to work that actually needs it.Available nowCopy Agreement is available to enterprise-tier accounts. It was introduced in Release 17.0, with additional access points, including the Home page quick action, added in Release 17.1.For integrations, Copy Agreement is also available through the REST API:POST /agreements/{agreementId}/copy Full documentation is available here.

Hey everyone! Sync to Video just landed in Premiere Beta 27.0 (Build 30), and it's small enough to miss and big enough to change how you use Generate Sound Effects. It's really the next input we've handed the tool. First you told it what you wanted with text. Then you could shape the timing with your voice using Record a Guide. Now Premiere can watch the footage and time the effect to what's happening on screen for you.What's New?Sync to Video lets the picture drive the result. Instead of placing or timing your effect by hand, you let Premiere read the footage in your selection and match the generated sound to the action in frame. Type "dog barking," and if there's a dog barking on screen, the effect lands on that bark.Think of the three inputs as doing three different jobs. Text says what the sound is. A voice guide lets you perform the timing and intensity. Sync to Video reads the action straight off the picture, so the hit lands without you tapping it out by hand. Sync to Video for Generate Sound Effects Where to find itSync to Video sits right next to Record a Guide in the Generate Sound Effects tool. Record a Guide isn't going anywhere; it's still there when you want to perform the timing yourself. Sync to Video is the automatic route for when you'd rather let Premiere read the footage and handle it. Sync to VideoWhy this mattersGetting an effect to hit the exact frame used to mean tapping out a guide or nudging clips around until it felt right. It works, but it's fiddly, and it stretches out the back-and-forth of dialing in a scene. Sync to Video gives you a strong timing starting point straight from the picture, so you get most of the way there fast and can focus your attention on whether the sound is right. You might still fine-tune the placement, but you're refining from something close rather than building it out by hand.You can:Time generated effects to on-screen action automatically. Write a prompt and let Premiere match it to the picture. Skip the manual timing pass. Use Record a Guide for when you want to perform the timing yourself. Iterate faster on effects that need to hit a specific moment. Try It OutSync to Video is live in Premiere Beta 27.0 (Build 30). Run it with the Generate Sound Effects prompts and tell us how the timing feels against real footage. It's an early iteration, so your feedback steers where it goes next.Happy editing from your Adobe sound friends!Note: Still polishing plenty here, so expect it to get sharper as we iterate.

Hey everyone! You know the moment. Picture's basically there, the scene is dead quiet, and you can already hear what it should sound like. Getting that out of your head and onto the timeline is the slow part. And on the flip side, sometimes you're staring at a silent scene with no idea where to start, and you just need something to build from. That's the whole reason for Generate Soundscape, and it's live now in Premiere Beta 27.0 (Build 30).What's New?Select a range in your timeline and Premiere "listens" to the picture, then builds a soundscape that moves with it. It creates two background layers and two foreground layers, all landing where the action does. And you're not stuck with one baked-in mix, you get four editable stems. Regenerate a layer until it clicks, nudge one that's almost there, or rebalance the whole thing.If you've used Generate Sound Effects, this picks up right where that leaves off. Generate Sound Effects hands you one sound; Soundscape hands you a whole bed, with the layers you'd normally build by hand already roughed in and synced to picture.The way I think about it, it's a way to sketch your sound. Rough out the sonic idea for a scene, hear where it wants to go, and then either shape it into finished design yourself or send it down the line so your sound editors, director, or co-editors actually hear what you're going for.Where to find itDrag a range selection on an audio track and the Generate Soundscape option shows up. Set it over the section you want scored, run it, and the layers drop into your timeline as stems you can edit like anything else. Generate Soundscape as part of the Generate Media Tool options Why this mattersBuilding a scene's sound by hand is slow, and it almost never survives the next round of picture changes. So you either pay that cost every revision or you try to describe the sound in words and hope the next person hears the same thing you did. Soundscape gives you a first pass that's already in step with your footage, so your time goes into shaping the scene instead of scrolling a library.You can:Sketch a picture-synced soundscape from any range on an audio track Regenerate and edit layers one at a time until the scene feels right Treat every background and foreground layer as an editable stem Rebalance and rework the mix without starting over Hand off a real scene to your sound editors, director, or co-editors instead of a descriptionSoundscape provides 4 stems with 4 variations each Try It OutGenerate Soundscape is live in Premiere Beta 27.0 (Build 30). We're still shipping model and experience updates, so right now is when your feedback actually moves things.Two things to know while you're kicking the tires:It listens to about 15 seconds at a time, so keep your selection around 15 seconds or shorter. It can't handle a selection that spans multiple scenes yet. We haven't landed on the right behavior there, and we genuinely want to hear how you'd expect it to work. Let us know what works and what doesn't. We're constantly improving the models, and we're interested in finding the cases that still need work.Happy editing!Note: Still polishing a bunch of interactions, so expect this to keep getting better as we go.
