Adobe is introducing some new tools and generative AI features to its Illustrator and Photoshop design software that aim to help speed up creative workflows. The most notable updates are coming to Illustrator courtesy of Adobe\u2019s new Firefly Vector 2 AI model, which is available in public beta starting today.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
Firefly Vector 2 powers new Illustrator features like Generative Shape Fill, which allows users to add detailed vectors to shapes via descriptive text prompts. The updated model also improves the Text to Pattern<\/a> beta feature, which can be used to create scalable, customized vector patterns for things like wallpapers; and Style Reference, which generates outputs that mirror existing styles. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n Outside of generative AI, this Illustrator update also introduces a Dimension tool<\/a> that automatically adds sizing information for projects, a Mockup feature for previewing what designs look like on 3D products, and Retype for converting static text in images into something that can be edited. You can read about these Illustrator updates in more detail on Adobe\u2019s blog<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Photoshop is also getting some goodies<\/a>. The Generate Image feature<\/a> powered by Adobe\u2019s latest Firefly Image 3 Model is now generally available in the Photoshop desktop and web apps, and the Enhance Detail feature for Generative Fill can now provide \u201cgreater sharpness and detail\u201d when applied to large images. The Selection Brush tool is also generally available, which allows users to more easily select and separate specific objects from the canvas by painting over them.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n \u201cOur goal is to empower all creative professionals to realize their creative visions,\u201d Deepa Subramaniam, Adobe Creative Cloud\u2019s vice president of product marketing, said to The Verge<\/em>. \u201cWe believe that every massive technology shift offers opportunities to deliver new products and innovations to our customers, and we are focused on harnessing the power of generative AI to amplify human creativity and expression, not replace it.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
