Adobe’s latest AI tool, called Generative Fill, is set to revolutionize the way photographers edit images. This innovative feature can automatically extend photos, completing tasks that would previously take hours in only seconds. With a single text prompt, Generative Fill can automatically adjust a photo’s sky from night to day or make an amusing lasso-to-pasta swap, as demonstrated by Adobe. It is available in a beta version that is exclusively open to Photoshop subscribers.
This tool uses generative AI, which was popularized by OpenAI’s ChatGPT. This technology is trained by Adobe’s library of stock images and public domain images, which should be free of any copyright issues once Generative Fill becomes available to all Photoshop users near the end of 2021. As with other photo editing services, Generative Fill learns and improves over time. However, the results may not always be perfect, so image makers should use the tool cautiously.
Pam Clark is the Vice President of Photoshop Product Management and Product Strategy, and as she reported in the official blog post, users have already generated over 100 million assets during the beta testing. She believes that the Generative Fill capabilities Adobe is introducing to Photoshop is an “incredible new capability” for content creators.
This new AI-driven image creator holds huge potential for the world of digital photography. Professional photographers and hobbyists alike can save hours of tedious editing time and find their inner artistic freedom. With so much promise and so much still to come with Firefly’s suite of AI tools, it looks like the future of photo editing is looking bright.
