Adobe brings Firefly AI Assistant to Photoshop and other Creative Cloud apps
Firefly AI Assistant entered public beta in Photoshop and four other apps, aiming to cut batch edits, file sorting and other repeat chores.
Adobe put Firefly AI Assistant into public beta across Premiere, Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign and Frame.io, giving photographers and editors a conversational tool aimed squarely at the chores that slow a workflow down.
The assistant orchestrates multi-step workflows based on the outcome a user describes, and it plans, orchestrates and completes creative workflows across Adobe’s suite. In Photoshop, that means tasks like removing backgrounds from a batch of files or resizing many images at once, with guided editing and variation handled through natural conversation instead of a long chain of manual steps. Adobe's March 10 Photoshop update introduced conversational AI photo editing for web and mobile, including previewed suggestions such as brightening a foreground or cropping tighter on a subject.
Firefly AI Assistant can help batch edit lifestyle shots, keep a visual aesthetic consistent across assets, search saved images and adapt content for different formats. In Premiere, the assistant can import source media, sort clips into bins, rename files and identify interview questions.
On April 15, Adobe announced that Firefly AI Assistant would span Creative Cloud apps including Firefly, Photoshop, Premiere, Lightroom, Express and Illustrator. On April 27, Adobe announced a public beta. The June 18 expansion extended the assistant across Premiere, Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign and Frame.io while also bringing Adobe’s creative tools to ChatGPT, Claude, Copilot, Gemini and Slack.
In its October 14, 2024 MAX announcement, Adobe put Firefly’s total at 13 billion images generated since March 2023.
