Adobe has announced that its Firefly app will now include powerful AI image generators from OpenAI and Google. Along with this, Adobe is also launching Firefly on mobile devices, making it easier for users to create images on the go.
About Adobe and Firefly
Adobe is known for popular creative software like Photoshop and Premiere Pro.
From 2023, Adobe is working on its own AI tools under the Firefly brand.
These tools can create images and videos and are designed to be legally safe for commercial use.
New AI models in Firefly
Adobe is now adding several third-party AI models to Firefly, including:
OpenAI's image generator (from the creators of ChatGPT)
Google Imagen 3
Google Veo 2
Flux 1.1 Pro
A new version of Adobe's own Firefly models
More models coming soon:
fal.ai
Luma
Runway
Why Adobe is adding third-party models
According to Adobe's Chief Technology Officer Eli Greenfield:
Many users still prefer to use Adobe's Firefly for final production because it's commercially safe. But others want to try different models for brainstorming and creative ideas." So, Adobe is giving users more options by allowing them to use both Firefly and third-party models.
How it works for users
Users can create images with these new AI models directly in the Firefly app.
They can easily transfer images to other Adobe apps like Photoshop.
Users will use the same credit system to pay for both Adobe and third-party AI models.
Adobe did not share how revenue will be shared with these model providers.
