TOP STORY
🪄 Canva releases "Magic Layers"
Canva introduced Magic Layers, a new feature that converts any flat image (including AI-generated ones) into a fully editable, multi-layered design inside the Canva editor.
Until now, images were essentially locked. The text wasn't editable, elements were fused together, and the only way to make changes was to start over. Magic Layers breaks all of that open.
Here's what it actually does: it reads the structure of your image, identifies what each element is, and rebuilds it as proper, working layers.
Text becomes live text boxes you can edit.
Objects become individual elements you can move, resize, or animate.
Backgrounds are cleanly separated from foreground content.
The whole layout stays intact.
It works on images from any source, not just ones created in Canva. Drop in an image from anywhere, and Magic Layers reconstructs it into something you can actually work with.
Availability: Currently rolling out in public beta in the US, UK, Canada, and Australia. Global availability to follow.

DESIGN
✏️ Adobe Photoshop launches an "AI Assistant"
Adobe just launched a public beta of AI Assistant in Photoshop, a conversational editing feature now available on web and mobile (iOS and Android).
Instead of hunting through panels and menus, you describe the edit you want: "remove the person in the background," "make the sky more dramatic," "add a soft glow to this portrait" and the AI handles it.
You can have it apply edits automatically, or walk you through them step by step.
AI Markup
There's also a new feature called AI Markup (public beta on web), where you draw directly on your image and describe what you want to change in that specific area.
Circle a patch of sky, type "add mountains," and Photoshop generates it in seconds.
A few other things worth knowing:
Paid subscribers (Photoshop web and mobile) get unlimited generations through April 9.
Free users get 20 generations to try it out.
Adobe Firefly also got a set of new editing tools in the same update, including Generative Fill, Generative Remove, Generative Expand, and Remove Background (all available globally today).
Adobe Photoshop is also now available directly inside ChatGPT (along with Adobe Express and Acrobat), free for all ChatGPT users.
3D DESIGN
🎮 Unity launches "Unity Studio," a no-code 3D editor
Unity officially launched Unity Studio, a browser-based, no-code editor for building and sharing interactive 3D experiences (no game development skills required).
Unity Studio has been in beta since last year and just hit general availability.
The workflow is drag-and-drop: import your 3D assets (including CAD and BIM files), build out your scene, add interactivity, and publish directly to the web. Everything is hosted in Unity's cloud, so sharing across devices is built in.
Use cases Unity is targeting:
Product configurators: let customers swap colors, materials, and components in real time.
Training simulations and walkthroughs: interactive 3D without a developer on every project.
HMI prototypes: for automotive, industrial, and dashboard design teams.
Pricing: $799 per seat per year, includes Unity Asset Manager. 30-day free trial available, no credit card required.
