Adobe has announced significant upgrades to its Firefly family of generative AI tools, including improvements to the engine that powers Photoshop's image generation and the introduction of generative AI to Adobe Illustrator designs and Adobe Express layouts. The upgraded AI model offers higher resolution, better detail, and the ability to steer generation with photography parameters. While the results are generally impressive, there are still some limitations and areas for improvement. Adobe customers have embraced AI rapidly, generating over 3 billion creations so far. Adobe is also using AI to suggest completions to text prompts in Photoshop and introducing AI-based lens blur effects in Lightroom.

Adobe has updated its generative AI image creation service, Firefly, with the release of the Firefly Image 2 Model. The new model is better at rendering humans, including facial features, skin, body, and hands. Firefly users have generated three billion images since its launch, with one billion generated last month alone. The majority of users are new to Adobe's products, and the company has turned Firefly into a full-fledged Creative Cloud service. The new model is larger and trained on more recent images, giving it a better understanding of user requests. It will be available through the Firefly web app and will also come to Creative Cloud apps in the future. Adobe sees generative AI as more about generative editing than content creation, and the new model introduces additional controls for depth of field, motion blur, field of view, style matching, and auto-complete prompts.

Adobe has introduced the Firefly Vector Model, the world's first generative AI model focused on producing vector graphics, for its Illustrator tool. The model was trained on data from Adobe Stock and can create entire vector graphics from scratch. Users can now create scenes consisting of multiple objects through a text prompt and manipulate them individually. Additionally, new features include Mockup, which allows users to apply vector art to 3D scenes, and Retype, which converts static text in images to editable text. Illustrator is now available on the web as well.

Additionally, Adobe plans to pay out an annual bonus to Adobe Stock contributors whose submissions are used to train Adobe's AI models.

The Outer Worlds, the spacefaring RPG developed by Obsidian Entertainment, was pitched as a more casual game with a sense of "Fallout meets Firefly." Director Tim Cain aimed to create a game that would be inviting to casual players while still offering complexity and interesting characters. The pitch resonated well with the final product, which features humor and a first-person perspective reminiscent of Obsidian's previous hit, Fallout: New Vegas.

Adobe has launched a beta version of its text-to-image model Firefly, which is built into Photoshop and allows users to slowly build an image with prompts and stock elements. Firefly is not limited by resolution restrictions and matches the quality and resolution of the image being worked on. Adobe hopes that Firefly, its copyright-safe generative AI model, can help the company get its groove back after its $20 billion Figma acquisition was imperiled.

Adobe has launched Generative Recolor, a generative AI tool that allows designers and marketers to change the colours, themes and fonts of graphics in Adobe Illustrator through text prompts. The tool is the latest addition to Adobe's cluster of generative AI tools and models under the umbrella of Firefly. Generative Recolor uses Firefly to generate a rendering of a scene or a theme based on textual prompts, then extracts the colour palettes from that image and applies it to the user's graphic, recolouring it based on the mood or theme a user requests.

Adobe has launched Firefly for Enterprise, a platform for its generative AI model that allows every employee within a company to instantly generate images or copy from text-based descriptions, which can then be used in marketing campaigns, social media promotions, corporate presentations, and more. Businesses can also build Firefly into their own ecosystem by training the AI model with their own branded company assets, which will allow Firefly to replicate the brand’s style when generating images and copy. The pricing for Firefly for Enterprise is not yet confirmed, but licenses that can be deployed broadly to employees will be available to brands for a flat price, which will be based on the needs and size of the organization.

Adobe's new Firefly AI has been integrated into Photoshop, making it one of the first major photo editing apps to use generative AI. Firefly works much like more expansive apps like Midjourney, offering choices like lighting, and image size. The AI is trained on Adobe Stock images. The web version of Adobe Firefly is free to use while it’s in beta, but you do require an Adobe login. To extend images, you’ll need the full Photoshop beta to do so.

Adobe has integrated generative AI from Firefly into Photoshop, allowing users to extend images beyond their borders with Firefly-generated backgrounds, add objects to images, and remove objects with more precision than before. The integration also allows users to use natural language text prompts to describe the kind of image or object they want Firefly to create. The features are currently only available in the beta version of Photoshop, and some of them will be available to Firefly beta users on the web.
