Adobe has released an interesting 30-second concept video that demonstrates a digital assistant making minor changes to an image.
The video begins with a user opening an already edited photograph on an iPad, proceeding to tap on a microphone icon triggering a response from the digital assistant – which sounds similar to Cortana or Siri.
Instead of actually using your fingers, the desired effects are activated upon voice command, allowing a user to make minor edits such as cropping, flipping, and the ability to undo those changes. While there may be future scenarios where having a digital editor could prove to be helpful, the demonstration is rather simplistic.
What is more interesting is that most of the verbal commands used natural language structures, such as “Now flip it sideways” and “I would like to reframe this picture”.
