Adobe announced The company on Tuesday said it plans to roll out a complete artificial intelligence image generation tool in its Photoshop software later this year, months after it was accused of rendering historically inaccurate photos.
The company’s Firefly tool is similar to DALL-E and Stable Diffusion, which allows creative professionals to generate images from text, and Adobe is partnering with Microsoft-backed OpenAI, Stability AI, and other fast-growing artificial intelligence startups. Adobe said it will be in a position to compete with companies.
In March, Firefly followed in the woke footsteps of Google’s image generation company Gemini, which was criticized for producing photos depicting black Nazis and female founding fathers.
At a conference in London on Tuesday, the company announced a beta version of its new Firefly Image 3-powered complete image generation, which is even more advanced in quality and “attention to detail.”
Adobe executives said the software “is not intended to be a realistic depiction of real or historical events.”
Adobe’s commercial image generation software is intentionally trained on data owned by Adobe to avoid claims of copyright infringement by rival AI developers.
The new release aims to streamline the workflow of creative professionals using its software.
Previously, Adobe expanded the functionality of Photoshop to include filling in and extending parts of existing images.
An upcoming image generation tool will allow users to use uploaded images as a reference for generating new works.

“Rather than very carefully explaining what goes where and making sure you specify what you want and what you don’t, you borrow from a reference. So this is an amazingly powerful It’s a powerful feature,” Greenfield said.
Adobe announced in a statement that the latest release of Photoshop is now available through the desktop beta app, but did not provide a specific date for general release in 2024.
Since its launch in March 2023, Firefly has generated more than 7 billion images, Adobe said in a statement.
The application helped Photoshop, a nearly 40-year-old image editing software, see a 30% year-over-year increase in users. According to media news source CNET.
