This annual creativity conference is the ultimate playground for designers, artists, and tech lovers, setting the stage for jaw-dropping innovations and game-changing tools. From cutting-edge updates across Adobe&#8217;s suite to sneak peeks into the future of creative tech, MAX 2024 delivers everything you need to fuel your creative obsession.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ready to dive in? Let&#8217;s check out the standout moments from Adobe MAX 2024 for three of the most significant creative powerhouses: <a href=\"https:\/\/design.tutsplus.com\/compatible-with\/adobe-photoshop\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Photoshop<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/design.tutsplus.com\/compatible-with\/adobe-illustrator\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Illustrator<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/design.tutsplus.com\/compatible-with\/adobe-indesign\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">InDesign<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"photoshop\"><strong>1.

Last year, we saw updates for generative expand and fill, both intuitive and easy tools that are huge time-savers. This year brought some pretty cool features for Photoshop that are even more user-friendly and intuitive. So, what are the significant updates from Adobe MAX for <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/design.tutsplus.com\/compatible-with\/adobe-photoshop\" target=\"_blank\">Adobe Photoshop<\/a>?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Distraction removal<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The Remove tool has a big update with the Find Distractions tool, which helps remove people, wires, and cables from an image. These options will look specifically for those little distractions we could do without in a picture. We love a good time-saving tool, and this is one of those.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Generative workspace (beta)<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-instagram wp-block-embed-instagram\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"sbi-embed-wrap\"><blockquote class=\"instagram-media sbi-embed\" data-instgrm-captioned data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/DBG6v4zOhyX\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" data-instgrm-version=\"14\" style=\" background:#FFF;

You can run multiple prompts to generate images in the background. Then, you can generate multiple variables to get variations based on colors, backgrounds, styles, etc.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Adjustment Brush<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The new Adobe Photoshop update helps streamline the workflow of adjustment layers, masking, and brushes. Now, we have a single step that covers it all. You can choose the adjustment option, then choose the object or brush, and then create the adjustment layer. It shows up like a normal layer, so it&#8217;s easy to change the color, move it, etc.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"illustrator\"><strong>2.

It is now faster and allows you to relink missing files, similar to Photoshop. Let&#8217;s examine some other awesome updates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Enhanced Image Trace tool<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Image trace has significantly improved and is probably one of the most used tools when we don&#8217;t have vectors. If you like sketching, this tool helps trace around your designs and make them scalable. Now, you can capture and digitize designs more accurately with the improved Enhanced Image Trace. Images are crisper and cleaner; now, you can use gradients to smooth things out, which are editable, too!&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Object on Path tool<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"Effortlessly Place Objects on a Path | New Adobe Illustrator Feature\" width=\"422\" height=\"750\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/O4E5slKX_vg?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Remember when you wanted to align objects to a circle and had to use the Rotate tool and hope for the best? Well, now there&#8217;s an easier way to do that with the Object on Path tool. With just a few simple clicks, you can perfectly align objects. This is particularly useful if you like <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/design.tutsplus.com\/articles\/a-beginners-guide-to-adobe-illustrator-patterns--cms-33351\" target=\"_blank\">creating patterns<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Generative Shape Fill<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you encounter a roadblock or are short on time, the Generative Shape Fill tool will fill a specific shape with a fantastic idea that matches your work style. The tool will grab colors and basic shapes as samples to match your working style. You can type out a prompt and generate ideas without leaving the app.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Mockup tool<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"MIND BLOWING New Design Feature You Can Do In SECONDS!!

Traditionally, creating prototypes and mockups to show how a brand can look in physical objects was time-consuming. The Mockup tool was introduced a few months ago and is now out of beta. It significantly improves wrapping around edges and other user experience updates that can speed up your workflow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"indesign\"><strong>3.

We&#8217;ve seen a big push on software integrating <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" data-wpil=\"url\" data-wpil-url-old=\"aHR0cHM6Ly9sYWJzLmVudmF0by5jb20vaW1hZ2UtZ2Vu\" href=\"https:\/\/elements.envato.com\/ai\/ai-image-generator\" target=\"_blank\">generative AI<\/a> and many enhancements to simplify the design workflow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Watch this quick video for the <a href=\"https:\/\/design.tutsplus.com\/articles\/adobe-indesign-2025-updates--cms-109009\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">latest InDesign updates<\/a>: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Adobe has been releasing updates for InDesign for a few months. These new updates support a better use of images, a seamless workflow, and, if you&#8217;re working more with math, the integration of MathML support. Let&#8217;s look at some of the new features of <a href=\"https:\/\/design.tutsplus.com\/compatible-with\/adobe-indesign\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Adobe InDesign<\/a>!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Extend images (no longer Beta as of 14 October)<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"850\" height=\"737\" src=\"https:\/\/elements.envato.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/4-AdobeMax2024-AdobeIndesign-ExtendImages1.jpg\" alt=\"Extend images tool\" class=\"wp-image-89298\" srcset=\"https:\/\/elements.envato.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/4-AdobeMax2024-AdobeIndesign-ExtendImages1.jpg 850w, https:\/\/elements.envato.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/4-AdobeMax2024-AdobeIndesign-ExtendImages1-300x260.jpg 300w, https:\/\/elements.envato.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/4-AdobeMax2024-AdobeIndesign-ExtendImages1-768x666.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 850px) 100vw, 850px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>We&#8217;ve all run into this problem: we receive an image, and it&#8217;s just too small to fit where we want it to go. So, we have to change the whole layout or manually extend the background in Photoshop, which could take some time. With the Generative Expand tool, you don&#8217;t have to leave InDesign; you&#8217;ll be able to fill in missing areas to resize images. The tool analyzes the image and extends it seamlessly. If you want to tweak further, you can open the newly generated image in Photoshop to work on the details.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Generate images<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This is another problem many designers have run into. You have an image, but it isn&#8217;t perfect. It would be if the angle were slightly higher and the lighting marginally brighter. That isn&#8217;t a problem anymore. Like the new Project Concept, the Text to Image tool now has an advanced option. You can, of course, type out what you need, but the Advanced option also lets you add a reference image and style.

Sharing documents through email occupies so much space; now, there&#8217;s a better way. With Adobe Express, you can create a collaborative file, perfect if you&#8217;re working with a team of designers or if you&#8217;re working with people around the globe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/elements.envato.com\/learn\/what-is-branding\" target=\"_blank\">Brand consistency<\/a> is essential, and this tool is handy for those of us who develop brand assets and templates and want clients to edit content as quickly as possible without compromising the quality of the design work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Math expressions<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"850\" height=\"617\" src=\"https:\/\/elements.envato.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/6-AdobeMax2024-AdobeIndesign-MathML.jpg\" alt=\"Insert MathML\" class=\"wp-image-89299\" srcset=\"https:\/\/elements.envato.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/6-AdobeMax2024-AdobeIndesign-MathML.jpg 850w, https:\/\/elements.envato.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/6-AdobeMax2024-AdobeIndesign-MathML-300x218.jpg 300w, https:\/\/elements.envato.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/6-AdobeMax2024-AdobeIndesign-MathML-768x557.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 850px) 100vw, 850px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>While <a href=\"https:\/\/design.tutsplus.com\/compatible-with\/adobe-indesign\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Adobe InDesign<\/a> has always been the go-to for text-heavy layouts, math expressions still needed to be manually added. MathML is short for Mathematical Markup Language and uses XML tags to describe mathematical structures. Now, with the MathML panel in InDesign, you can <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/webdesign.tutsplus.com\/html-hypertext-markup-language--cms-106838a\" target=\"_blank\">add math expressions<\/a> to your layout as an SVG, with the ability to choose different <a href=\"https:\/\/elements.envato.com\/fonts\">fonts<\/a> and colors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Export to HTML5 package<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>As many people start embracing accessibility as a standard feature on their websites, HTML5 ensures compatibility and support for interactive content across different platforms. HTML (legacy) was limited compared to HTML5, which lets you create a one-to-one copy of the InDesign file but as HTML5. Any interactive feature in the InDesign document, like hovering over text or creating appearing and disappearing text, can now be exported as HTML5.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Contextual Task Bar<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"850\" height=\"575\" src=\"https:\/\/elements.envato.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/7-AdobeMax2024-AdobeIndesign-ContextualTaskBar.jpg\" alt=\"Contextual Task bar\" class=\"wp-image-89300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/elements.envato.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/7-AdobeMax2024-AdobeIndesign-ContextualTaskBar.jpg 850w, https:\/\/elements.envato.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/7-AdobeMax2024-AdobeIndesign-ContextualTaskBar-300x203.jpg 300w, https:\/\/elements.envato.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/7-AdobeMax2024-AdobeIndesign-ContextualTaskBar-768x520.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 850px) 100vw, 850px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>This new Adobe InDesign update aims to simplify your workflow by suggesting the next steps in your design process. The Contextual Task Bar could be helpful if you work on editorial design, especially in magazines with multiple issues in a year. That is also the case if you design pamphlets in a specific way. For instance, you can use it to add columns, add images, use the Type Tool, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Hide spread<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"850\" height=\"565\" src=\"https:\/\/elements.envato.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/8-AdobeMax2024-AdobeIndesign-HiddenSpreads.jpg\" alt=\"Hide spread on the Pages panel\" class=\"wp-image-89301\" srcset=\"https:\/\/elements.envato.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/8-AdobeMax2024-AdobeIndesign-HiddenSpreads.jpg 850w, https:\/\/elements.envato.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/8-AdobeMax2024-AdobeIndesign-HiddenSpreads-300x199.jpg 300w, https:\/\/elements.envato.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/8-AdobeMax2024-AdobeIndesign-HiddenSpreads-768x510.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 850px) 100vw, 850px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Hiding spreads now works the same way as hiding layers. This Adobe InDesign update will benefit presentations if you want to hide a slide quickly. Hiding spreads on the Pages panel can be helpful if you&#8217;re designing a large magazine and need to hide articles that have already been approved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"firefly\"><strong>4.

Adobe Express is a cloud-based tool that allows people to create content from templates. Growing brands and solopreneurs are key here as they want to expand and promote their businesses. You can bring Photoshop, Illustrator, and <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/design.tutsplus.com\/compatible-with\/adobe-indesign\" target=\"_blank\">InDesign files<\/a> into Adobe Express. There, you can resize, animate, recolor, add sound effects, rewrite copy, translate, and even control templates. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can also use shared calendars within the app, and soon, it will integrate with Slack, HubSpot, and Webflow. You can do it all from just a single app!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">6. Other new Adobe tools &amp; features<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Project Neo<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-instagram wp-block-embed-instagram\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\nhttps:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/C8EetlzMyTO\/\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Designers want the flexibility to create in 3D, but learning the tools takes time. You can create 3D-looking artwork in Illustrator, but to render multiple views means you have to make them from scratch. The newly developed Project Neo is a web-based 3D illustration tool specifically for graphic designers who are used to working in 2D.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While this is a web tool, the look resembles Adobe Illustrator. Some of the features announced at Adobe MAX 2024, like rounding corners and resizing shapes, also work exactly like in Illustrator. Pull in for rounded corners and out for pointy corners. Copy and paste everyone&#8217;s favorite, like in any other Adobe product. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition, you can swap between filters to make the 3D object look realistic, pixelated, or appear as vector art, which gives an outline. Best of all, instead of lighting each individual object, you can do it for the whole composition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Exporting is easy\u2014exporting your work as a vector, PNG, JPEG, SVG, and even MP4 video. From there, you can take it into any Adobe software you like. Do you need a different view? You can easily rotate the composition and export it again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Project Concept<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"850\" height=\"489\" src=\"https:\/\/elements.envato.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/10-AdobeMax2024-AdobeProjectConcept.jpg\" alt=\"Project concept\" class=\"wp-image-89302\" srcset=\"https:\/\/elements.envato.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/10-AdobeMax2024-AdobeProjectConcept.jpg 850w, https:\/\/elements.envato.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/10-AdobeMax2024-AdobeProjectConcept-300x173.jpg 300w, https:\/\/elements.envato.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/10-AdobeMax2024-AdobeProjectConcept-768x442.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 850px) 100vw, 850px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Project Concept was announced this year at Adobe MAX 2024, but it&#8217;s still in the initial stages of testing. <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/elements.envato.com\/learn\/kristy-campbell\" target=\"_blank\">The creative process<\/a> is probably one of the most important topics in design. Increasingly tight deadlines and other limitations mean that some ideas never make it to the drawing board. The early stages are especially important when developing a concept\u2014this is when you can explore ideas and potential directions to create something unique.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For concept creation and mood board fans, Adobe&#8217;s Project Concept is an excellent tool for exploring initial concepts. This tool integrates the latest capabilities of Adobe Firefly Generative AI models to generate multiple alternatives in a short time while still giving designers control and direction. You&#8217;re free to mix images, transform assets, and change backgrounds to create concepts that would often have taken a lot of time to develop in the past.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Like many Adobe products, Project Concept is already integrated across the Creative Cloud ecosystem. It gives designers the control to mix, apply, and reapply an idea to an asset you&#8217;ve created and reapply again. With this comes the issue of respecting other people&#8217;s work. Project Concept is working on content credentials technology to provide a source for images and respect generative AI usage. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">That&#8217;s Adobe MAX 2024 wrapped\u2014integrate these updates into your creative flow!<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>While Adobe MAX 2024 didn&#8217;t pack as big a punch as last year, it delivered some serious wins where it counts. Firefly&#8217;s seamless integration across apps means you can stay in the creative flow without switching tools. Adobe Express is leveling the playing field, making it easier than ever for designers and non-designers to create and publish standout marketing content. With each update, Adobe is becoming more intuitive, user-friendly, and business-savvy\u2014and we can&#8217;t wait to see what they&#8217;ve got up their sleeve for next year!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Get the most out of the Adobe suite with Envato&#8217;s collection of professionally designed <a href=\"https:\/\/elements.envato.com\/graphic-templates\">graphic templates<\/a>.
