Adobe Photoshop releases new Generative Expand workflow and Firefly-powered features

In May, Adobe announced the integration of Firefly into the Photoshop (beta) app with Generative Fill for Photoshop customers, and enabling users to add, expand, or remove content from images, using simple text prompts.

Adobe said that since then, over 900 million images have been generated.

Adobe has now announced that Firefly-powered features in Photoshop (beta) will now support text prompts in 100+ languages.

“We are also evolving Photoshop’s Generative AI capabilities with Generative Expand, a new frictionless workflow dedicated to expanding images beyond their original bounds. Powered by the same Firefly-based technology as Generative Fill, Generative Expand enables users to seamlessly expand and resize any image by clicking and dragging the Crop tool, expanding the canvas. After clicking “Generate” the new white space is filled with AI-generated content that naturally blends with the existing image. This streamlined workflow enables users to create and ideate in Photoshop with Generative AI more quickly and intuitively than before,” said Adobe.

Explaining the functionality further, Adobe shared, “Generative Expand allows users to seamlessly expand images using the Crop tool. Suppose your subject is cut off, your image is not in the aspect ratio you want, or an object in focus is misaligned with other parts of the image --- you can use Generative Expand to expand your canvas and get your image to look like anything you can imagine.”

Generated content can be added with or without a text prompt. Without a prompt, click “Generate” in the Contextual Task Bar, and Photoshop will fill in the new white space with generated content that seamlessly blends with the existing image.

When using a prompt, the image will be expanded and will include the content you entered into the prompt. Select your favorite variation, and the expanded image will be added non-destructively in a new Generative Layer.

With Generative Expand, you can spend less time editing and more time experimenting and adapting your images for your own creative needs.
