ISLAMABAD: Adobe announced Tuesday that it will incorporate an artificial intelligence (AI) image generator into Photoshop by the end of the year, although beta versions are currently accessible.

With simply a text prompt, users would be able to edit or delete objects from photographs using the AI tool Firefly. According to the company, it can also automatically match the lighting and style of existing images.

In a blog post, Pam Clark, vice president of Photoshop product management and product strategy, said that they are entering a new era of AI, and the arrival of generative models gives a fresh opportunity to take their imaging capabilities to the next level.

He stated that they had integrated this fascinating new technology into Photoshop during the last few months, which is an important advancement towards a more natural, intuitive, and fun way of working. The AI-powered tool, which was trained on Adobe’s own stock images as well as publicly available assets, was announced in March but was only available on the web.

Adobe considered the tool to be one of its most successful beta launches, with over 70 million images made in the first month. Adobe may be able to avoid the criticism that some other AI picture generators have received for relying heavily on online content to train their software. As a result, Adobe depends on its image library and media, which are freely available to the public.

In January, Getty Images filed a lawsuit against Stability AI, a company that uses the AI art tool stable diffusion, accusing it of copyright infringement. Getty Images claimed that Stability AI copied and processed millions of its images without authorization. A motion was submitted by Stability AI earlier this month to dismiss the suit.
