Context
The computer software company Adobe announced on Tuesday that later this year, a feature for fully artificial intelligence image generation will be added to its Photoshop program. The new image-generation tool will have the ability to tap a user’s uploaded image as a reference for the general composition of an image. Adobe is developing its image-generation AI system called Firefly. This is done to protect itself from user-filed copyright infringement lawsuits.

Analysis
Photoshop image-generation tools, previously released by Adobe, can enlarge or fill in specific areas of an existing image. The company announced at a conference on Tuesday in London that full image generation, based on a new AI system called Firefly Image 3, will arrive later this year. Adobe has prioritized expediting the work of professionals utilizing its software. A user’s uploaded image can be used as a model for the overall composition of an image by the new image-generation tool. For instance, according to Ely Greenfield, chief technology officer for digital media at Adobe, a designer could quickly sketch out a scene on a napkin, take a picture of it with a smartphone, and then instruct Photoshop to produce fully featured images in a range of styles. “It’s borrowing from the reference rather than having to very carefully describe exactly what goes where and try to make sure that I’m specifying the things I want and that I don’t.” Thus, this is a very potent capability, according to Greenfield.
