Announcing Gemini 2.5 Flash Image (Nano Banana) and Flux Kontext Pro models are now integrated into the Photoshop Desktop Generative Fill workflow (m.3236)

Gemini 2.5 Flash Image (Nano Banana) and Flux Kontext Pro models can be used for style transfer, text editing, object modification, quick or controlled edits, and complex transformations integrated into the familiar Generative Fill workflow for creative control and non-destructive editing.

When a user makes a selection, Photoshop sends the selected area for processing - the result is limited to 1k resolution. Since the models may not have the full context, there could be seams and composition limitations as a result. The models can perform better if you give a larger selection and use prompts to restrict editing.

We suggest making a larger, loose selection using the Selection Brush. If you use a selection with a hard edge, we notice shifting and a hard edge on the generated pixels.

Check out the following blog post for more information about Partner Models.

In Photoshop Desktop Beta from 9/25 - to MAX (10/26) users will have:

• CC Pro: 500 free uses per day (doesn't matter the model) - the daily timer resets at 4:00 am Pacific Time
• CC Standard, Single App, and Photography paid plan users: will have free 100 uses for EACH model
  - TOTAL (not per day)

When we ship Nano Banana and Flux Kontext third-party models at MAX (end of October), the promotion (no charge for generations) will END in the Beta build (approximately Oct 26th). Flux and Nano Banana third-party models will be available in the "GM" and Beta builds of Photoshop. The key difference is that we will start charging 10 Generative credits per generation (for either Nano Banana or Flux models). 

If you have the Photography Plan, CC Standard, or Photoshop Single App, you will get 2 free generations of each model. After free generations are used, you will hit a paywall, you will need to buy Firefly on of the Standard, Premium, or Pro plans to use the models or upgrade to CC Pro and get 4000 generative credits per month.

The workflow is:

1. Open a File > Create a Selection (we recommend Select All or the Selection Brush)
2. Select the Generative Fill Button
3. Select Model Picker Icon
4. Select either the Flux Kontext Pro or Gemini 2.5 (Nano Banana) models
5. Enter a detailed instructional Prompt > Generate

Note: Flux Kontext Pro or Gemini 2.5 (Nano Banana) models return ONE variation.

Use Cases

Add objects or generate new details. Or choose Flux Kontext to generate contextually accurate backgrounds that integrate seamlessly. Photoshop's layer masks keep subjects untouched, enabling precise refinements. 
​

Select empty space on a design and prompt either Nano Banana for stylistic fills or Flux Kontext for contextual details (props, signage, scenery). Photoshop's blending modes, adjustment layers, and smart objects ensure natural integration with typography and layouts. 
​

Rapidly mock up product shots or campaign assets by testing both models within Photoshop. Then use curves, levels, and adjustment layers to refine and unify the output to meet the client's branding aesthetic and guidelines. 

Prompting Guides:

• Flux Kontext Pro Prompting Guide
• Gemini 2.5 (Nano Banana) Prompt Guide

Prompting Best Practices:

• Specificity: use precise names, colors, verbs

• Simplicity: start broad, then refine

• Safeguards: preserve what must remain unchanged

• Sequencing: iterate in multiple steps

• Subjects: name things directly - avoid ambiguous pronouns (it, that, he, her)

• Speechmarks: use "quotes" for text - replace "original word" with "changed word".

• Structure: control composition, framing, angle

• Strong verbs: choose specific, powerful, clear actions
