Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator gets new tools and AI powered features

Adobe is rolling out several new generative AI-powered features to Illustrator and Photoshop. Powered by the company’s in-house developed Firefly AI model, the new features help “accelerate everyday creative workflows and give creators more control.”

Adobe Illustrator, the vector-based design and drawing program now has a new feature called “Generative Shape Fill” that allows users to type in what they want in a shape and have it drawn and fill it in using generative AI. The new Firefly AI model improves the Text to Pattern feature, which can be used to generate customised scalable vector patterns and Style Reference, which helps users generate outputs that look like existing styles.
