I used Photoshop's new AI tool to rotate objects in 3D, and it's pure magic
Adobe's new AI-powered Rotate Object tool in Photoshop allows users to rotate 2D objects in 3D space and generate hidden parts of images with impressive realism. When combined with the Harmonize feature, it can adjust lighting, color, and shadows to seamlessly blend objects into new scenes. However, achieving professional results still requires user skill, judgment, and post-processing for optimal output.
- ▪The Rotate Object tool is available in Photoshop v27.6 and enables 3D rotation of 2D objects.
- ▪It generates unseen parts of objects using AI, though results may require cleanup due to hallucinated elements.
- ▪Rotate Object works best when paired with Harmonize for realistic compositing of lighting and perspective.
