Machine learning algorithms power Felix, and let designers quickly turn stock images into photorealistic scenes. With the Cherry Blast ad, Felix automatically laid a grid over the beach landscape. When Corazza added a plastic bottle to the exposed patch of boardwalk, Felix knew exactly where a bottle that size should sit.

The algorithms driving Felix were trained, by scientists in the Creative Technologies Lab at Adobe Research, to understand spatial relationships between objects, and to replicate how light works.

“We are building something that people can use without specific 3-D knowledge,” says Stefano Corazza, a computer scientist at Adobe. “You don’t need to know about polygons.”

It lets photographers recast the direction of the sun in an image, convincingly so.
