Adobe and NVIDIA Partner to Bring RTX Spark Enhancements to Photoshop, Premiere Pro, and Substance 3D

Adobe has announced a new collaboration with NVIDIA that will bring RTX Spark optimizations to several of its creative applications, including Photoshop, Premiere Pro, and Substance 3D.

The partnership builds on a broader agreement between the two companies announced earlier this year and focuses on improving AI-powered workflows, rendering performance, and real-time editing experiences for creators.

According to Adobe, the updates are designed to take advantage of NVIDIA's new RTX Spark platform, which combines Blackwell graphics, unified memory, and TensorRT acceleration in a single system architecture.

Photoshop and Premiere Pro Are Getting Major Changes

Some of the biggest updates are headed to Photoshop and Premiere Pro.

Adobe says Premiere Pro is being redesigned to take advantage of RTX Spark's unified memory architecture and Blackwell GPU. The company expects improvements in video editing, color correction, timeline responsiveness, rendering performance, and AI-powered features.

For Photoshop, Adobe is moving toward a GPU-accelerated compositing architecture. The update will support features such as live filters, HDR workflows, and new oil and watercolor brush effects powered by an AI-focused processing pipeline.

The company claims RTX Spark can deliver up to twice the AI, editing, coloring, and effects performance across Premiere Pro and Photoshop workflows compared to previous approaches.

Substance 3D Users Will Benefit Too

Adobe's 3D creation tools are also part of the partnership.

Substance 3D Painter and Substance 3D Stager will gain native RTX Spark support, which Adobe says should improve responsiveness when creating textures, building scenes, and working with complex 3D projects.

The move reflects growing demand for local AI processing and accelerated graphics workflows in professional content creation tools.

Adobe Is Bringing AI Agents Into Creative Apps

Beyond performance improvements, Adobe also revealed plans to bring AI agents directly into Photoshop and Premiere Pro.

The company describes these agents as collaborative assistants that can help creators with editing, design, and content creation tasks from within the applications themselves.

While Adobe hasn't shared many implementation details yet, the announcement suggests AI assistants will become a bigger part of its creative software ecosystem over time.

Part of a Larger AI Strategy

The latest announcement is another step in Adobe's broader push toward AI-powered creative tools.

Features such as Generative Fill in Photoshop and Generative Extend in Premiere Pro already rely on Adobe Firefly technology. By combining those capabilities with NVIDIA's RTX Spark platform, Adobe is aiming to improve how quickly creators can work with AI-powered tools directly on supported hardware.

Updates for Photoshop, Premiere Pro, and Substance 3D are expected to begin rolling out later this year.

What RTX Spark Means for Creators

RTX Spark is NVIDIA's new AI-focused computing platform designed for creators, developers, and professionals who work with demanding workloads. The platform combines NVIDIA's Blackwell GPU architecture, unified memory, and AI acceleration technologies to support large AI models and creative applications locally.
