Adobe has introduced substantial updates to its Firefly AI tools,enhancing the design and editing capabilities for its Creative Cloud subscribers.These updates include new features for both Photoshop and Illustrator,marking some of the most significant enhancements since Firefly’s initial release last year.

　　Photoshop Enhancements

　　The major update for Photoshop is the addition of a text-to-image generator,allowing users to create complete images from text prompts.This builds upon the existing generative fill feature,which previously only allowed for the generation of AI art within portions of a design.The generative fill is also improved for more detailed renderings.Other updates include:

　　•New Brush Selection and Adjustment Tools:Enhanced tools for more precise editing.

　　•Contextual Taskbar Updates:Simplified input prompts and design edits for users.

　　Illustrator Upgrades

　　Illustrator’s new beta model introduces several new tools,the most notable being the generative shape-fill tool.This feature allows creators to select a shape,type in a prompt,and fill the shape with AI-generated content,similar to the generative fill in Photoshop.Additional updates for Illustrator include:

　　•Enhanced Selection Tools:Improved tools for more accurate selections.

　　•Text-to-Pattern Feature:Ability to generate patterns from text prompts.

　　•Style Reference Input:Users can now input style references to guide the AI in generating content.

　　Addressing Privacy Concerns

　　Earlier this year,Adobe faced backlash after updating its terms of service to permit the scanning,viewing,and reviewing of content passing through its apps or Adobe Cloud servers.This raised concerns,especially among professional creators dealing with sensitive information.Adobe has since clarified that its AI program will not train on customer content and has committed to a“creator-friendly approach”to AI.
