TOP STORY
🔃 Photoshop releases “Rotate Object” (Beta)
This week, Adobe released "Rotate Object" in Photoshop (Beta), a new AI-powered tool that converts any 2D object into a rotatable 3D version, letting you spin, tilt, or reposition it to match the perspective of your scene.
The feature is currently available in Photoshop Beta (v27.5.0).
With Rotate Object, you can now:
Spin, tilt, and dolly any object: Adjust viewpoint using on-canvas drag controls, the contextual sliders, or by entering exact values in the Properties panel.
Blend with your scene: Use the built-in Harmonize option to match the rotated object's lighting and color to the background.
Re-edit non-destructively: Select "Edit rotation" at any time to go back and adjust (additional edits don't deduct extra credits).
Rotate Object uses 20 Generative Credits per use. The first 3 rotations are free. Adobe recommends duplicating your layer before converting, as the original is replaced by a Rotate Object layer.

ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE
💻 MagicPath releases “Web to Design”
This week, MagicPath released "Web to Design", a new feature that turns any live website into a fully editable UI, just by pasting a URL.
No screenshots, no manual recreation. Paste a URL into MagicPath and the AI fetches the page and converts it into an editable design (ready to rework, remix, or build on top of).
MagicPath is an AI-powered design tool for building apps, websites, and prototypes directly on a canvas.
With Web to Design, you can now:
Redesign a competitor's site: Paste any landing page and immediately start exploring alternative layouts, copy, and color schemes without rebuilding from scratch.
Prototype from inspiration: Found a hero section or pricing page you love? Import it, swap in your own brand and content, and have a working prototype in minutes.
Extract reusable components: Pull in navbars, footers, and feature sections from multiple sites and remix them into components for your own design system.
Iterate on your own product: Paste your live product URL and explore design variations on top of your real UI.
Web to Design differs from MagicPath's existing "Web Capture" feature.
Web Capture uses a Chrome extension to extract specific elements from a page, while Web to Design imports an entire page at once. Both features are available side by side.

WEB DESIGN
🤝 Webflow acquires “Vidoso”
This week, Webflow announced the acquisition of “Vidoso,” a multi-modal AI startup that generates brand-aligned visual and video content at scale.
The core problem Webflow is trying to solve: AI tools can generate content quickly, but they have no awareness of a specific brand's visual identity, tone, or rules.
Vidoso was founded in 2024 and has raised $3.7 million. Its four-person team is joining Webflow full-time. Financial terms were not disclosed.
Vidoso Agentic workflows create content that is on-brand, personalized, on-message & unmistakably human.
The goal is to bring Vidoso's technology into Webflow's platform over time, giving marketing teams AI-generated creative that's actually usable out of the box (no manual brand corrections required).
Brand-aware generation: Vidoso's AI produces visuals and videos that respect your existing brand guidelines, rather than generating generic output.
Production-ready assets: Generated content is designed to fit directly into marketing workflows, not require a round of edits before it's publishable.
Part of a larger vision: Webflow is positioning this as a step toward a fully agentic marketing platform, where AI works within your brand rules, not around them.
Vidoso's existing customers will retain access to their products as the integration work unfolds.
No timeline has been announced for when Vidoso's technology will be available inside Webflow.
