Adobe is adding limited versions of Acrobat, Express, and Photoshop to ChatGPT, meaning you can use OpenAI's chatbot to edit photos, design projects, modify PDFs, and more.
The new integrations are now available to all ChatGPT users. Activate them by referring to the individual app in your prompt. For example, ask for "Adobe Photoshop to brighten a photo" with an attachment included, and you’ll be given an example of what it can do.
You only need to refer to the tool once per interaction; follow-up prompts will default to the Adobe tool you previously selected. If prompts aren't yielding the desired results, Adobe's tools will offer limited versions of their manual editing tools, such as sliders to adjust brightness, exposure, contrast, and more.
"For anyone who wants the full power and precision of Adobe’s tools, it’s seamless to move from ChatGPT into Adobe’s native apps and pick up right where they left off," Adobe notes.
Adobe Express can help ChatGPT users with design projects to create a more professional look. Adobe recommends asking it to fill in text, replace images, or animate elements. It also says you can use Express to rethink the design of your project and generate new ideas. On PDFs, you can use ChatGPT to extract data, edit files, or merge and convert other file types into PDFs.
The new ChatGPT-based apps are now available on the desktop, web, and iOS. Express is also available on Android; Acrobat and Photoshop are coming to Google's platform "soon."
OpenAI first launched app integrations in ChatGPT with partners such as Shopify and Etsy back in October, and since then, it's added tools like Instacart and Target. Last week, OpenAI rolled back some functionality after users said some recommendations looked like ads.
