At the recent MAX London event, Adobe unveiled its groundbreaking Firefly Image Model 4 Ultra, promising unparalleled realism and detail in AI-generated images. But that's not all – Adobe is also opening its doors to third-party AI models, including those from OpenAI and Google, giving creators unprecedented choice and flexibility.
This move signifies a major shift in the AI landscape, transforming Firefly from a standalone image generation tool into a comprehensive creative hub. Leading brands like Deloitte, Tapestry, Paramount+, and Pepsi have already embraced Firefly to streamline content production and enhance marketing campaigns, and these new updates are set to amplify those benefits.

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.”
