AI-Assisted Photo and Graphic Editing for Communications

The NYC Department of Youth and Community Development uses Adobe Creative Cloud's built-in AI tools to edit photos, videos, and graphics for social media and communications purposes. Staff upload source images or videos, and AI features such as generative fill and spot-removal in Photoshop help transform them into finished assets. The system is used weekly and is operated by department communications staff. Members of the public are not directly profiled; the AI assists human designers who make all final creative decisions.
