The new generative AI picture generation and editing tool was trained using public domain stock photos and material.
Firefly, a suite of generative AI models that are fully integrated throughout Adobe Creative Cloud products, including Generative Fill and Generative Expand in Photoshop and Generative Recolor in Illustrator, was commercially released by Adobe on Wednesday.
Firefly, which went into beta in May, offers AI-powered picture creation and editing for corporate customers that the firm claims is safe for commercial usage. Adobe’s AI model was trained using stock pictures owned by the corporation, public domain materials, and other publicly licenced or non-copyright material.
Firefly, according to Adobe, has been developed to serve people with a wide range of skill levels and technical backgrounds, including text prompts in over 100 languages.
In addition to the Firefly features, Adobe is proposing a new credit-based strategy for generative AI across its newly released Firefly online application, Express Premium, and Creative Cloud premium plans, which will go into effect on November 1.
Customers may use the tokens, known as Generative Credits, to convert a text-based prompt into picture and vector creations in Photoshop, Illustrator, Express, and the Firefly online application.
Tokens are offered in quantities ranging from 1,000 for all Creative Cloud users to 3,000 for Creative Cloud Pro subscribers. Users of Adobe’s free product suite will receive 25 credits.
After users have spent their allotted amount of Generative Credits, they will still be able to produce generative AI pictures and text effects, but at a reduced rate. Customers may purchase additional Generative Credit subscription packs, however Adobe has not said how much they would cost.
Adobe wants to guarantee that AI-generated content is trustworthy and transparent.
The question of copyright in relation to AI-generated work is still being debated by governments and lawmakers all around the world. Adobe made waves in June when it stated it will provide IP indemnity for any legal difficulties stemming from the development of content for commercial use cases.
Microsoft followed suit last week, declaring that it will bear legal liability if users are sued for copyright infringement while utilising the company’s AI Copilot services.
Another issue that Adobe has attempted to address with Firefly is the misinformation that has resulted from the public availability of generative AI technologies. As a result, Firefly incorporates Content Credentials by default, which means that every asset generated with Firefly has creative attribution.
Content Credentials are verified facts that act as a “digital nutrition label,” displaying information such as an asset’s name, production date, tools used, and any adjustments done. This data remains connected with material wherever it is used, published, or stored, allowing correct attribution and assisting consumers in making educated digital content selections.
As further models are introduced, future Firefly models will include a mix of assets, technology, and training data from Adobe and others, with the business stating that it would continue to prioritise eliminating any negative bias.
