Automatic AI Studio in Stock
It is disappointing to see how increasingly disconnected Adobe seems to have become from the people who actually use its products.
Changes are introduced constantly, yet many of them seem less and less aligned with the real workflows and needs of creative professionals.
The latest example is Adobe Stock. When I click on a stock asset in Safari, I am now taken directly into AI Studio instead of being able to properly inspect the asset itself. If I want to use AI Studio, I am perfectly capable of making that decision myself.
By forcing me into AI Studio, Adobe is actually taking away information and functionality that is relevant to my work — such as reviewing the asset details, the contributor, and other images from the same series before deciding whether an asset is suitable for a project.
This is becoming symptomatic of a bigger problem. Adobe increasingly feels like a product-driven organization pushing features it wants customers to use, rather than a customer-driven organization improving the tools around the way paying creative professionals actually work.
