Adobe adds more generative AI features to Photoshop, Illustrator

Adobe announced innovations in its iprofessional design apps Adobe Illustrator and Adobe Photoshop. Illustrator has new tools including Generative Shape Fill (beta) to quickly add detailed vectors to shapes by entering text prompts directly in the Contextual Taskbar. Generative Shape Fill is powered by the latest Firefly Vector Model (beta) which is designed to support creators with additional speed, power, and precision, the company claims. Additional innovations in Illustrator including the Dimension Tool, Mockup (beta), Contextual Taskbar, Retype, enhanced selection tools, Text to Pattern (beta), Style Reference and more workflow enhancements speed up tedious tasks and save designers time so they can dive deeper into the parts of their work they love.

Photoshop is introducing features to accelerate workflows and streamline repetitive tasks with the Selection Brush Tool, Adjustment Brush Tool, and enhancements to the Type Tool and Contextual Taskbar. Photoshop is also introducing new ways to create with Generate Image, powered by Adobe Firefly Image 3 Model.
