## Adobe Supercharges Creative Suite with New Firefly AI Image Generators and Enhanced Features

Adobe is doubling down on its AI-powered creative tools, launching two new fourth-generation Firefly Image models and rolling out significant updates to its Creative Cloud applications, including Photoshop and Illustrator. These advancements aim to provide users with faster, more controllable, and higher-quality image generation capabilities, alongside a broader ecosystem of AI-powered creative solutions.

The new Firefly Image Model 4 follows the trend set by other AI powerhouses like OpenAI and Google, offering users a choice between a model optimized for speed and efficiency, and a more robust option for demanding, detail-oriented tasks. According to Adobe, Firefly Image Model 4 is its “fastest, most controllable, and most realistic Firefly image model yet,” enabling users to generate images at resolutions up to 2K with greater control over style, format sizes, and camera angles. The key focus is on improved image quality and faster generation times.

For those seeking even greater detail and realism, Adobe is introducing Firefly Image Model 4 Ultra. This model is designed to render complex scenes with intricate details, promising more realistic and nuanced results.

These new Firefly image models are readily available through the Firefly web app, alongside Adobe’s existing text-to-video and text-to-vector models which were previously in public beta. Furthermore, Adobe is launching Firefly Boards in public beta – a collaborative generative AI moodboarding app similar to Figma’s FigJam. A dedicated Firefly mobile app for iOS and Android is also on the horizon, promising creators the power of AI-driven image generation on the go.

Interestingly, the Firefly web app now allows users to tap into third-party AI models for image and video generation. Users can experiment with OpenAI’s new GPT image model and Google’s Imagen 3 for images, or Google’s Veo 2 for video, alongside Adobe’s own offerings. Support for models from Luma, Pika, Runway, fal.ai, and Ideogram is also planned.

While Adobe encourages experimentation with these third-party models, the company clearly designates its own Firefly models as “commercially safe,” a crucial distinction given Adobe’s training data comes from publicly available or licensed content. This stands in contrast to OpenAI, Google, and Runway, which have faced scrutiny regarding their data sourcing practices.

Beyond the Firefly ecosystem, Adobe is enriching its flagship Creative Cloud apps. Illustrator’s generative shape fill and text-to-pattern tools, previously in beta, are now generally available. Photoshop is gaining enhancements that simplify color adjustments and improve automatic selection of details like hair, clothing, and facial features. The Actions panel in Photoshop is also being revamped with improved editing suggestions based on individual user styles, laying the groundwork for Adobe’s ambitious creative AI agent.

With these latest advancements, Adobe is cementing its position as a leader in the AI-powered creative landscape, offering a compelling suite of tools that empower artists and designers to push the boundaries of their creativity. The inclusion of third-party models showcases a commitment to open innovation, while the focus on commercially safe AI ensures responsible and ethical use of the technology.
