Adobe also showcased enhancements in Firefly Boards, its collaborative AI ideation platform. New features include the ability to rotate 2D images into 3D and streamlined exporting options for easier organization and collaboration on visual concepts.

Adobe is expanding access to Firefly Creative Production, a batch editing solution that allows creative teams to edit thousands of images simultaneously. This feature aims to automate background replacements, color grading, and cropping, all without requiring coding skills.

Many of the new features, including Photoshop’s Generative Fill and Generative Upscale, are now generally available. Premiere’s AI Object Mask and Lightroom’s Assisted Culling feature are currently in public beta. Firefly’s Prompt to Edit capability is available now, with Firefly Image Model 5 also in public beta.

Adobe is encouraging users to sign up for early access to the private beta of Firefly Custom Models, which will roll out next month.

Adobe emphasizes a creator-friendly approach to AI, positioning it as a tool to augment, rather than replace, human creativity. The company remains committed to developing generative AI responsibly, respecting creator rights throughout the process.

In summary, Adobe’s latest innovations not only enhance its suite of creative tools but also address the increasing demand for high-quality content production, positioning the company as a leader in the intersection of creativity and technology.
