These serve to highlight the models generative capabilities and inspire other users to explore the bounds of their machine-assisted creativity. The input screen, where users will enter their text-based prompt to the system, features a curated selection of generated pieces as well as the prompts that instigated them. It also helps ensure that Stock photographers and artists will be compensated for the use of their works in training these AIs.īy subscribing, you are agreeing to Engadget's Terms and Privacy Policy.Įngadget was afforded a brief preview of the system ahead of Tuesday’s announcement. The first model of the Firefly family is, according to the company, trained on 'hundreds of millions' of images from Adobe's Stock photo catalog, openly licensed content and stuff from the public domain, virtually guaranteeing the model won't result in lawsuits as StableDiffusion did with the Getty unpleasantness. And it's not just text-to-image - Firefly’s multimodal nature means that audio, video, illustrations and 3D models can all be generated via the system and enough verbal gymnastics. With it, would-be digital artists are no longer limited by their sub-par dexterity or sheer lack of artistic talent - they will be able to speak into existence professional-quality illustrations using only the power of their words. “With Firefly, Adobe will bring generative AI-powered ‘creative ingredients’ directly into customers’ workflows, increasing productivity and creative confidence for all creators from high-end creative professionals to the long tail of the creator economy.” “Generative AI is the next evolution of AI-driven creativity and productivity, transforming the conversation between creator and computer into something more natural, intuitive and powerful,” said David Wadhwani, president, Adobe’s Digital Media Business, said in Tuesday’s release.

On Tuesday, Adobe revealed its next generation of AI features, a family of generative models the company has collectively dubbed, Firefly - the first of which will generate both images and font effects.

Adobe’s suite of photo and video editing software has long leveraged the assistance of machine intelligence to help its human users do their jobs, having employed the Sensei AI system for more than a decade to power features like Neural Filters in Photoshop or Acrobat's Liquid Mode.
