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 ».
