Adobe has announced new features for its graphic design software Illustrator. This allows users to quickly adjust the color scheme of vector-based images via generative AI. The user uploads her own Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) file into his Vector Recoloring tool in Illustrator and can choose from different colors and colors by entering a text description or choosing from a list of sample prompts. Generate palette variations in seconds.
Illustrator Vector Recoloring, which Adobe claims to be the first generative AI-powered vector recoloring tool on the market, is being introduced as the next phase of Adobe Firefly. The Vector Recoloring feature will be available for testing as part of the Firefly beta today, but Adobe has not said when the full version of the tool will be available.
Judging by the video demonstration of this feature, the text description may be relatively sketchy. Typing “underwater coral reef” adjusts the example image to various shades of blue, pink, and…coral orange. Examples of prompts have similarly interpretable names such as “salmon sushi” and “terracotta dessert” and are visually distinguishable by the icons provided.
For those of you who don’t know, vector graphics and SVG files are different from other image formats like JPEG and PNG because they can be scaled to any size without affecting quality. This makes vector graphics a great choice for graphic designers creating company logos and illustrations that need to be resized and applied to different products frequently.
To be clear, unlike other generative AI products, this feature does not generate images, it just provides a new way to switch the color palette of existing vector files. Having different options for choosing the final design is great, but having to manually create different versions of an image proves not to be the most exciting part of the graphic design process. can.
Many of the recent features released in various Adobe applications seek to use AI to streamline complex, labor-intensive tasks and save creative professionals time on their projects. Both Photoshop and Lightroom received updates to improve automatic object selection following last year’s Adobe Max conference.
