Webmaster's Home (ChinaZ.com) April 24 News: Adobe has released the latest version of the Firefly image generation model, called Firefly Image3, which claims to have the ability to generate images with "photographic details".
Compared to the previous version, this third-generation model has a significant improvement in image generation capabilities. Introduced in Photoshop (beta) and Adobe's Firefly web app, the new model is capable of producing more "realistic" images than ever before.
Adobe says Image3 is more accurate than Image1 and Image2, and is "remarkably" better at depicting dense crowds, people with "detailed features" and "various emotions and expressions."
In addition to improvements in image generation capabilities, Image3 brings a number of new features. This includes a style engine, as well as a new automatic styling toggle that enables models to generate richer colors, backgrounds, and themed poses. These capabilities also extend to Reference Image, which allows users to make adjustments to models based on images of colors or tones that they want to produce in the future that will be consistent with them.
In addition to Photoshop, the Firefly web app has also been updated with new features. With the release of Image3, the Firefly web app will get new features such as structure referencing and style referencing, which are described as new ways to "drive creative control."
Since its debut in March 2023, Firefly has generated more than 7 billion images, according to Adobe. According to Zeke Koch, vice president of product management for generative AI, Firefly has also helped Photoshop, a nearly 40-year-old image editing software, achieve a 30 percent increase in annual users. Now, as competitors like Google and OpenAI enter Adobe's visual space with generative AI tools like Gemini and Sora, Adobe wants to remind users of its prowess when it comes to visual content.
Adobe's Firefly Image3 brings a host of improvements and new features that provide users with more powerful and diverse image generation tools. The Firefly Image3 base model offers "a huge step forward in quality and control," according to Adobe. This includes more realistic images, thanks to better lighting, positioning, and attention to detail, especially when it comes to representing people, including emotions.
Adobe also says that Firefly Image3 has a better understanding of text prompts and scenes, which means you can enter long, complex prompts to get exactly what you need. Firefly Image3 is currently available in beta versions of Photoshop and firefly.adobe.com with feedback, but is not commercially available.
A spokesperson said the tool would be made more widely available later this year. On Tuesday, Adobe also announced the addition of new editing features to Photoshop, powered by Firefly Image3. They include generating new content using reference images, as well as creating and replacing backgrounds and adjusting image details. Firefly will also be coming to the publishing software InDesign. The goal is to help users realize their ideas faster. As a result, even novice users can navigate Photoshop and become advanced users faster, says John Metzger, director of AI product management at Photoshop gentech.
