Firefly Image Model 4 Ultra: Photo-Realism Redefined

The new Firefly Image Model 4 Ultra is engineered to produce lifelike images with exceptional detail and complexity from simple text prompts. It excels at rendering human portraits, architectural elements, and even groups of people with remarkable naturalism. This model also offers extensive customization options, allowing creators to fine-tune filters, styles, and compositions to achieve a homogeneous aesthetic.

For users who need a lighter, faster option, Adobe offers the standard Image Model 4. Ideal for rapid ideation and everyday creative tasks, it generates high-quality images efficiently, making it perfect for creating simple illustrations, icons, and basic photo objects.

"With Firefly, we set out to transform creators’ experience by bringing image, video, audio and vector generation together in a one-stop-shop for AI-assisted creativity,” says David Wadhwani, president of digital media. “The new Firefly models and the integration of partner models give our users the ultimate choice as they bring their visions to life.”

Unlocking a Universe of AI Models: OpenAI, Google, and More

In a bold move, Adobe is integrating third-party AI models into its Creative Cloud ecosystem, starting with OpenAI’s image generation capabilities, Google’s Imagen 3 and Veo 2, and Flux 1.1 Pro. Adobe plans to incorporate additional models from partners like fal.ai, Ideogram, Luma, Pika, and Runway in the coming months.

This integration allows users to seamlessly switch between models during the generation process, with full transparency regarding which model is being used. Content credentials will automatically be attached to all AI-generated content, ensuring trust and traceability.

This app offers professional-grade content creation, seamless integration with Creative Cloud, and the ability to start projects on mobile devices and continue them on desktops.
