Additionally, the model offers Photo Settings for photography-style image adjustments and Prompt Guidance to help users improve their prompts for superior results. With Firefly Image 2, users can expect higher-quality images and illustrations, improved human rendering quality, better colors, improved dynamic range, and greater control over output.
The Firefly Vector Model is a trailblazing AI model that focuses on producing vector graphics. It is the world’s first generative AI model for vector graphics and offers “human quality” vector and pattern outputs. This model, available in beta, empowers creatives to easily generate a wide array of vector graphics from simple text prompts, making inspiration, mood boarding, and graphic creation more efficient.
The Firefly Design Model introduces the Text to Template capability in Adobe Express, enabling instant generation of stunning template designs. This model combines professional layout technology with the Firefly Image Model, Adobe Stock, and Adobe Fonts to generate fully editable templates for various aspect ratios. This feature allows users to create personalized marketing materials quickly and efficiently.
The impact of these new models extends beyond individual users. Top global brands, including Mattel and NASCAR, have recognized the potential of Firefly in driving productivity, reducing costs, and accelerating their content supply chains.
