Hey folks, been messing around with Adobe's new AI crop tool and gotta say, it's pretty wild how it tries to smartly cut out images. Anyone else tried it out and wanna share some cool tricks or maybe some annoyances? Would love to hear what you all think or how you make it work best!

The best trick I found is to zoom in and let the AI crop do the rough cut then fix the fine details manually.
Anyone else use this tool on mobile apps? How’s the experience compared to desktop?
I tried it last week and honestly, it saved me so much time on trying to crop photos for socials. The auto-detection of subjects is kinda hit or miss tho.
I hope Adobe adds support for batch processing with AI crop in the near future.
Is it just me or does the AI crop sometimes change the composition too much? I like to keep original framing.
Does the tool save your crop history or can we undo multiple steps?
Been wondering if there are tutorials out there specifically for mastering this tool? Anyone knows good ones?
Sometimes the AI messes up on hair or transparent objects. Have you noticed that? It’s tricky for the tool to get right.
Does anyone know if this AI crop works well with older Photoshop versions or just the latest?
Anyone tried combining the AI crop with Photoshop’s new neural filters? Curious if they work well together.
Sometimes I feel like the AI crop is too aggressive and cuts out parts I wanna keep. Wish there was an easy way to undo partial selections.
I mostly use it on portraits, and the face detection is surprisingly accurate!
The AI crop is fun but sometimes I just miss the good old days of precise manual cropping.
I use the tool mostly for product pics on my shop. It’s crazy how clean the edges come out with just a click.
Wish Adobe would make the AI crop work faster tho. Sometimes it lags on big files.
The AI crop feature feels like a game changer for batch editing. Less hassle and more focus on creative stuff. Anyone else feeling the same?
