Adobe has added a lot of AI-based features to its various software products over the past year. They include adding Firefly’s AI-based image creation feature to its Creative Cloud apps such as its flagship product, Photoshop.

Today, Adobe announced that it is launching a new version of Photoshop that not only includes several new features and improvements for AI image editing, but also includes the new Firefly Image 3 base model for making AI-based content from text messages.

In an emailed press release, Adobe says Firefly Image 3 will be able to create higher-quality images than the previous model, with more variety and detail. It should also have better understanding of text prompts.

Firefly Image 3 will also be included in the new beta version of Photoshop. Adobe says the software will include improvements to its Generation Fill AI editing features with some new functions:

• Reference Image helps creatives achieve the outputs they envision, using user-selected images as creative inspiration.
• Text to Image with Generate Image shortens the distance between the blank page and amazing content with full text to image capabilities directly within Photoshop for the first time.
• Generate Background replaces and creates backgrounds, making it easier than ever to create content that blends seamlessly with existing images.
• Generate Similar allows creators to iterate over variations they choose, to explore creative ideas more deeply with more precise control.
• Enhance details by adjusting images to improve sharpness and clarity

The new version of Photoshop is available today on the desktop with a beta label. Firefly Image 3 is also available in beta today and can be accessed on its official website. Adobe’s free and paid plans offer different amounts of creative credits that can be used to create images on the site.

In addition to the new Photoshop and Firefly Image 3, Adobe also announced new versions of its Adobe Express mobile apps. They are now available with several new features and improvements. They include Firefly AI image creation, editing functions like text effects, generative fill, and more.
