Hey everyone, Terry from Adobe here. I wanted to share some news many of you have been anticipating and asking about. Adobe has released Adobe Firefly and Generative Fill/Expand in Photoshop. These technologies are no longer in beta and ready for commercial use. 

As of today’s Photoshop release, you can use Generative Fill and Generative Expand in the release version of Photoshop and no longer need to use Photoshop Beta. The Photoshop you know and love just got (Firefly) wings. Generative AI powered by Adobe Firefly is now in Photoshop, so you can use generative AI in a tool you already know. We also released Generative Recolor in Adobe Illustrator today.

A few key points: 

  • First, Generative Fill and Generative Expand in Ps are powered by Adobe Firefly, now available for commercial use.
  • When Generative Fill and Generative Expand are used in Photoshop, Content Credentials are automatically turned on. (This is something that many of you expressed interest in as it identifies files that contain Generative AI content.) 
  • Finally, Creative Cloud paid members (including Photography Plans) now get access to Generative Credits as part of their plans. Your Creative Cloud, Adobe Express, Adobe Firefly, or Adobe Stock plans now include monthly Generative credits that provide priority processing of generative AI content across features powered by Firefly in the applications to which you are entitled. Generative credit counts reset each month. If you happen to reach your limit, we won’t charge you extra — simply keep creating, although you may notice slower generation speeds. 

Please feel free to post any questions/comments/thoughts below. I am particularly interested in what everyone thinks about it as it relates to Photoshop. I will answer everything I can and share any comments/concerns with the teams at Adobe. 

In addition, we have a Discord for Adobe Firefly for sharing and discussing it: 

I’ll update this post as I get more links/info/videos. 

All new, AI-powered Creative Cloud release and pricing update
