Gemini 2.5 Flash Image (Nano Banana) and Flux Kontext Pro models are in Photoshop

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:

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

 

Limitations:

EDU customers, the use of Nano Banana or Flux Kontext is NOT available. Please contact your system administrator for more information. 

Enterprise customers: Your system admin needs to enable the feature in the Settings > Assets area with the Adobe Admin Console. 

 

The Gemini 2.5 (Nano Banana) and Flux Kontext Pro models were NOT created by Adobe. You are responsible for determining whether either model is appropriate for your project.

@platinumexposure Please go to Help > System info > and see if it shows the following build number (for example: 27.0.0 20250924.m.3236). If not, Sign out of CCD > Sign back in > go to Updates. (Note, I am hearing reports that the rollout has not completed around the globe - if I have any more info, I will circle back)

Yesterday, I was able to use Nano Banana in Illustrator, and today I am not. I didn't change or do anything different? Maybe it auto-updated to today's latest? I'm not sure. I tried everything, and it's just not there anymore, the button to select the Google model, or any other model other than Firefly. 

I did speak with my Adobe admin, and he enabled it. Like I said, it was working fine yesterday. Also, it works fine in Photoshop, I can use Nano Banana to make images, but I want to use the vector ai tools in Illustrator. 

I've reinstalled, went to the previous version, then back. Deleted the files in the Adobe appdata folders. Tried, logging in and back out. 

Last attempt, is going to be a full uninstall of all Adobe software. Then I'll run the cleaner and do a fresh install of everything. 

I'm using Illustrator Beta 30.0 91 (Beta)

I'm having a problem with generative fill. the actual feature works, but no matter what type of selection I choose, the entire selection is inccreased by 15% or so. it makes the generated fill almost useless. is there a ratio button i've hit I dont know about? should i reinstall?

@amy durocher Hi, in PS Beta is the Flux Kontext Pro use 100 free generations per month or per day for standard PS adobe teams account? Flux is no longer allowing me to generate but Nano is.

@DrumAddict  From 9/25 - to MAX (10/28) users will have:

  • CC Pro: 500 free uses per day total (doesn't matter the model)
  • CC Standard, Single App, and Photography paid plan users: will have free 100 uses for EACH model (TOTAL). Meaning not 100 free tries in a day or month - it's 100 free tries per model --> then you run out of tries.

Ok wow that is not much. Can I just purchase a batch of generations separately or do I need to upgrade to CC Pro?

@CrisGraphicCorner Hola! If you go to the upper right avatar in Photoshop and click, you should see a dropdown that shows "Manage account" --> click, and you will be redirected to your account page. It shows what plan you have.

I wanted to inform you that Gemini Nano is not working properly on our Enterprise account. It seems to be a system-level issue, so I request you to please look into it from your side and resolve it, so that we can start using it smoothly.

Are you an Enterprise user? If so, I have been hearing reports that the feature needs to be turned on by your IT Admin. On Monday, we are pushing out an update that has a better error message (directing Enterprise/Teams users to contact the IT Admin to enable the feature).

Hi,

I have the correct version of Beta installed and I am trying to use Gemini but when the green computing-bar is completed i get this message. What is the meaning of it? How can I solve it?

Hi Andrea, 

Just to be clear, among the generative options you see Flux and Nano Banana, but when you select them you get the error you attached here?

Thanks!
