Weird: Photoshop can rotate your photo’s subject in 3D
Adobe Max 2025 took place this week, and we saw what’s coming to Photoshop. One of the most special additions is that you can choose what kind of light shines in the photo or which shadow disappears, but there is more. There is Project Turn Style.
Photoshop’s Project Turn Style
It’s still a sneak preview, so that it won’t be in Photoshop tomorrow, but Adobe is working on it: the option to completely change the composition of your photo. Suppose you have a photo of two children celebrating Halloween and walking down a driveway with their candy bags: they may be walking towards the camera, but what if you want them to walk towards the door, as if they are going to ring the doorbell and ‘trick or treat!’ to shout. That’s possible. Photoshop can use the fixed image to figure out what the subject in the photo looks like from other angles.
So you can have an object, or even a person, turned around in the photo, and Adobe thinks about what it will look like. How does the jacket fit? How is the hair? It’s bizarre to see how it works in the demo. In any case, it practically means you can completely customise each image. After all, you can adjust the light as you want and position subjects differently: you could, of course, already change the backgrounds with AI; it is becoming increasingly difficult to think of what you cannot do with Photoshop.
In any case, the new function of Project Turn Style is called 3D Rotate, after which a 3D layer is created from a flat layer via AI. Don’t be alarmed, because the AI will initially make people’s faces look crazy, but there is an extra button you can press to straighten the images and make the faces fit into the image.
All traces erased
Other sneak previews are of a tool that understands that when you erase a person from an image, the reflection is also removed. Even if you didn’t see that there was a reflection, Adobe would see it and remove it immediately. Even if you have a photo with a sun flare, you can extract it, and Adobe will understand context-based what to do to restore the scene as if no one was there. The same applies to jet skis that you remove: if you remove that device, the entire track in the water must also be removed, and that is what happens.
