Adobe is adding several new generation AI tools to its Photoshop creative software that aim to give users additional ways to control the designs they generate. Powered by Adobe's new Firefly Image 3 foundation model, these new tools are available now via the Photoshop beta desktop app and will be generally available “later this year,” according to Adobe's press release.
The most notable tool is Reference Image. It uses user-uploaded images as inspiration for output generated by Adobe's AI and matches similar elements in style and color. For example, instead of repeatedly adjusting a prompt description like “Blue vintage truck with flower decals,” users can instead provide a reference image that Photoshop uses as a guide.
“Prompting is a pain,” said Ely Greenfield, Adobe's chief technology officer for digital media. The Verge. “He doesn't need to spend an hour creating a three-paragraph prompt when he has an image created of the very thing he wants to reference. The adage 'seeing is believing' applies here as well. ”
Users are expected to have the right to use the images they wish to reference. Mr Greenfield said: Verge A message will flag this ownership requirement when the tool is first used, and that the company is working on a common “do not train” tag for Adobe's Content Authenticity Initiative; , which says things like blocking the image from being used as a reference. Images uploaded as reference materials are not used for Firefly training. Even though ownership remains with the user, Adobe says the new reference tool is still “safe for commercial use.” Adobe claims this is one of Firefly's most notable advantages over competing generative AI models.
Additional generative AI tools available in the Photoshop beta app include background generation, which replaces background images such as product photos to create a new background, and detail enhancement, which sharpens images to make them appear sharper. .
“Generate Similarity” is also available. This uses one of his three images generated by Photoshop's Firefly tool as a reference to create similar content. Generate Image, on the other hand, allows users to start with a blank page and generate the entire image from the text description on the first page. time.
Adobe's 3rd generation Firefly model features higher quality image generation compared to previous generations and is also available in a public global beta that anyone can try outside of Photoshop through the Firefly web application. Masu. Adobe says his latest Firefly model delivers “unprecedented photorealistic quality with better lighting, positioning, and attention to detail.” Firefly Image 3 is better able to understand longer, descriptive text prompts than previous Firefly models, and can produce clearer text in the images it produces.
Beyond generative AI, Adobe is adding several new standard tools to Photoshop that can speed up the creative process. These include adjustment brushes that allow Photoshop users to make non-destructive changes, such as color adjustments, to specific sections of an image. There are also new adjustment presets that let you quickly modify images with filters, and an improved font browser that gives you real-time access to more than 25,000 fonts in the Adobe cloud without leaving the Photoshop application.
