Adobe Photoshop to come with full AI image generation tool trained on own images

On Tuesday, Adobe announced that later this year, a feature for fully AI image creation will be added to its Photoshop program.

Creative workers frequently utilize Adobe’s picture and video editing tools, but the company is seeing more competition from firms like Microsoft-backed OpenAI, Midjourney, and Stability AI.

Using data that it owns, Adobe is creating Firefly, an AI system for creating images. This is done to protect itself against user-filed copyright infringement lawsuits.Create visuals based on text prompts.

Photoshop image-generation tools, originally supplied by Adobe, can enlarge or fill in certain areas of an existing image. The company announced at a presentation on Tuesday in London that full image generation, based on a new AI system called Firefly Image 3, will arrive later this year.

Adobe has prioritized expediting the work of professionals utilizing its tools. A user’s submitted image can be used as a model for the overall composition of an image by the new image-generation tool.

For instance, a designer may quickly sketch a scene on a napkin, take a picture of it with a smartphone, and then instruct Photoshop to produce fully featured graphics in a range of styles, according to Ely Greenfield, chief technology officer for digital media at Adobe.

“Rather than having to very carefully describe exactly what goes where and try to make sure that I’m specifying the things I want things and that I don’t, it’s borrowing from the reference. So this is an amazingly powerful capability,” Greenfield said.
