Adobe’s new Firefly model makes it easier to use Photoshop’s AI tools
- Adobe is adding new generative AI tools to Photoshop, powered by their Firefly Image 3 foundation model.
- The most notable new tool is "Reference Image", which allows users to provide an image that the AI will use as a guide to generate similar content.
- This "Reference Image" tool is meant to make the AI generation process easier and more intuitive than crafting detailed text prompts.
- Adobe is working on a "do not train" tag for its Content Authenticity Initiative to prevent reference images from being used to train the AI model.
- Other new generative AI tools include "Generate Background", "Enhance Detail", and "Generate Similar" to create new images and enhance existing ones.
- Adobe's Firefly Image 3 model has improved image generation capabilities compared to previous versions, with better photorealistic quality.
- Firefly Image 3 also has better understanding of long, descriptive text prompts and can produce clearer text in generated images.
- Adobe is also adding new standard Photoshop tools like an Adjustment Brush and Adjustment Presets to speed up creative workflows.
- The new Photoshop features with Firefly AI are currently available in beta and will be generally released later this year.
- Adobe positions Firefly as a more capable and commercially-viable generative AI model compared to competitors.
