    Adobe makes its Firefly AI art generator available to all.

    FULL STORY ======================================================================

    Businesses can now access one of Adobes top features, as the company confirms its Adobe Firefly models have been made commercially available.

    After spending the last few months in beta, the AI art generator is now natively integrated in the Creative Cloud and Experience Cloud ecosystems. This release also includes a new Firefly web application, which the company has dubbed a playground for exploring AI-assisted creative expression.

    In a bid to improve workflows and let businesses deploy AI-generated content with confidence, users will be able to access Adobes answer to Midjourney via Photoshop , Adobe Illustrator , and Express . Freedom of expression

    Fireflys commercial-use journey started back in June 2023. During its Adobe Summit expo, the creative apps company revealed its inclusion in Express, the lightweight graphic design software .

    At the time, it said bringing its text-to-image generator to the platform would allow employees of all creative skill levels to generate beautiful, on-brand, ready-to-share content.

    The beta, it seems, went well. Adobe hailed it as unprecedented, with over
    two billion images generated during that time.

    Unveiling the full commercial release, David Wadhwani, Adobes president of Digital Media Business, said: Adobe Firefly is ushering in a new era of creative expression for customers across every segment. Fireflys breathtaking capabilities combined with the rich tooling of our Creative Cloud apps, Express, the Firefly web app and Adobe Experience Cloud, give creators unparalleled opportunities to work with generative AI in new, rich and productive ways.

    But the new AI tool doesnt come for free. Adobe has introduced so-called fast Generative Credits for creating images and vectors in its popular photo
    editor and other Creative Cloud apps.

    Effectively, these are microtransactions for each image or set of images generated. Costs will vary depending on the type or number of images outputted. Once a user has used all fast Generative Credits, content can be produced at slower speeds or purchase more fast tokens.

    Alongside the roll-out of Firefly for businesses comes the new Adobe GenStudio. The solution is designed to streamline a companys AI ideation to content delivery, connecting to enterprise data and supporting real-time collaboration across the business.

    Adobe GenStudio gives creative and marketing teams what they need to take
    full advantage of generative AI and transform the creative-to-activation process with a seamless solution, said Anil Chakravarthy, president, Digital Experience Business at Adobe.

    Integrating Firefly, Workfront, and Adobe Experience Manager, the latest initiative will, the company hopes, accelerate and optimize what is often a time-consuming and expensive process. More from TechRadar Pro Adobe just made its Firefly AI art generator a lot more accessible
