Adobe Firefly, a collection of innovative generative AI models, has been unveiled by Adobe. The company has announced the beta launch of a series of innovative generative AI models and is inviting users to join the beta program by registering on the company’s official website.
During the launch, the company introduced the first two tools that are part of the creative generative AI models family. One of the tools is a text-to-image AI generator that functions in a similar way to DALL-E and Midjourney, while the other is a stylized text generator that functions similarly to Microsoft’s WordArt.
Adobe intends to introduce the tool as a component of its extensive collection of creative apps, including Photoshop, Illustrator, and Premiere, within the next few months.
The company’s AI-powered illustration, artwork, and graphic design tools will enable users to create custom vectors, brushes, and textures using text or sample sketches. Users will have the ability to create new tools and edit images and videos using them. With the addition of AI-powered 3D modelling features, Adobe Firefly will enable users to convert 3D compositions into photo-realistic images with minimal effort.
Adobe maintains that it is transparent about the datasets used to train its AI models. The Verge reported that Alexandru Costin, the VP of generative AI and Sensei at Adobe, asserts that the technology used in its generative AI models is either copyrighted, licensed for training, or from the Adobe Stock Library.
According to the report, Alexandru Costin stated we are not afraid of change, and we are embracing it; we are integrating these capabilities into our products without requiring customers to know if they are generative or not.
Adobe is planning to introduce a Photoshop feature that would enable users or artists to train the system on their own work, enabling the system to produce content in their preferred style.
Reports also suggests that the company is developing a ‘Do Not Train’ system that will permit artists to include a request in an image’s metadata, which would prevent it from being used to train AI systems in the future, provided that the creators comply with the request.
Adobe Firefly’s first two tools are available for public beta testing starting today, and users do not need to be a Creative Cloud subscriber to test them out. Adobe will be limiting the number of users who can access the AI tools through the beta program.
