Earlier this month, global creative software giant, Adobe, launched its annual Adobe MAX conference in Los Angeles, streamed globally over three days. The event is positioned to redefine the realm of creativity with the introduction of groundbreaking generative AI innovations, offering new tools and features across its flagship Creative Cloud applications. Here’s a closer look at the highlights:
Adobe unveiled three major new models in its Firefly family of creative generative AI models, namely the Adobe Firefly Image 2 Model, Adobe Firefly Vector Model, and Adobe Firefly Design Model. These models are designed to generate content safe for commercial use, thus providing a significant leap in creative possibilities.
The Firefly Image 2 Model is particularly noteworthy for enhancing image quality and accuracy, while the Firefly Vector Model takes the lead in generating vector graphics within Adobe Illustrator workflows. Additionally, the Firefly Design Model enables the instant creation of high-quality template designs, such as flyers and posters.
Adobe Creative Cloud applications received over 100 new features and updates. Adobe Illustrator and Adobe Express now offer Firefly-powered features, including Text to Vector Graphic and Generative Fill, enhancing the efficiency of vector graphics and content generation. Adobe Lightroom boasts new AI-powered editing capabilities, making the process of image enhancement more efficient and effective.
Notably, Adobe has made its Photoshop web application available with Firefly-powered Generative Fill and Generative Expand, accessible on Google Chromebook Plus devices. Adobe Premiere Pro and After Effects introduce AI-powered text-based editing and motion improvements, streamlining the creative process.
Adobe Express, the all-in-one creativity app, has been enriched with even more AI capabilities, including Generative Fill and Text to Template features. These additions make content generation faster and more accessible to users of all skill levels. Students, in particular, will find the new Drawing and Painting features invaluable in bringing their creative ideas to life.
For enterprises striving to meet the increasing demand for real-time content creation, Adobe introduced Adobe GenStudio. This comprehensive solution combines the best of content ideation, creation, production, and activation with customised Firefly generative AI models at its core.
By integrating Adobe’s various creative and marketing tools, GenStudio ensures on-brand content creation at the speed of imagination, revolutionising enterprise content supply chains.
Adobe has attached Content Credentials to AI-generated assets, acting as a digital “nutrition label” to provide transparency regarding the asset’s origin, editing history, and tools used.
Global advertising giant, Publicis Groupe will showcase its vision for deploying Content Credentials at an enterprise scale to rebuild trust in online content, particularly within the advertising and creative industry.
In an era defined by rapid technological advancement, Adobe’s commitment and investment into harnessing AI and integrating it seamlessly into the creative realm demonstrates that it is not only keeping pace but leading the charge in the AI tech race. With the introduction of Firefly AI models and a plethora of innovative features across its flagship Creative Cloud applications, Adobe is poised to transform the creative landscape.
The company’s vision for AI-powered creativity extends beyond mere tools; it’s a testament to Adobe’s dedication to empowering creatives, marketers, and enterprises to achieve new heights of artistic expression and efficiency. As Adobe MAX 2023 unfolds, it’s clear that Adobe is not just a participant but a key player to watch in shaping the future of AI applications in the creative industry. We are looking forward to more announcements ahead from Adobe.
