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

[amy durocher]

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

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.

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

• CC Pro: 500 free uses per day total (doesn't matter the model)

This is all i need to know.

I believe I have installed the latest version, but I do not have access to the recent models. Tried uninstalling and reinstalling. 

Thanks

[amy durocher · Accepted solution]

@Station6 Looks like you need to update your Beta build to m.3236 (has the Flux and Nano update)

[Station6]

@amy durocher Thank you for your answer. I have installed the latest beta. I'm not really sure how to push this specific version.

[amy durocher]

This worked for someone else: try signing out of Creative Cloud Desktop, then sign back in, go to Updates...see if that forces the new Beta build to show up...

[conhuirmckee]

This worked for me. thank you!

@amy durocher I can't open the link to the blog post - well, I can but it says "You must sign in to the private community." Is it me or there is some issue with it? Thanks.

@Z3ROCOOL22 Can you try this URL: https://blog.adobe.com/en/publish/2025/03/18/adobes-approach-customer-choice-in-ai-models

Maybe there is a problem with the redirect from the Forum to the Blog Post

[Z3ROCOOL22]

Working.

[amy durocher]

Awesome!

[alvieprbw]

im using gemini generative fill but always encountered issue...but firefly image 1 and 3 is works with no problem...what is the problem ?

[amy durocher]

@alvieprbw Are you an Enterprise user? If so I have been hearing reports the feature needs to be turned on by your Admin (we are also investigating on our end).

[alvieprbw]

Maybe yes, cause my company buying for teams plan, so the problems is by administrator need to turn on the models for generative ai? 

[amy durocher]

Yes, I believe so.

[EmileM]

Thanks Amy. Activated the feature in the admin console and this solved the issue

[dmitriy_shanchenko]

I have the same issue. Can you advise how to activate this feature in the admin console?

[Hannah Nicollet]

Hi Dmitriy,

Try going in the Admin Console under Settings> Asset Settings > Non-Adobe Generative AI Models > Toggle the switch on/off

Hope that helps!

@amy durocher I just updated the Beta but I only get m3235... I'm using a Mac M1. I don't see a way to update past this. I have a PS Pro account.

[amy durocher]

@DrumAddict Can you try:

Sign out of CCD > Sign back in (note I am hearing reports that the rollout has not completed around the globe - if I have any more info I will circle back)

[DrumAddict]

Ok great! That did the trick. How many credits will I have for Gemini renders?

 - Thank you.

[amy durocher]

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.

Note after MAX, if you have the following apps, CC Standard, Single App, and Photography paid plan, you will get a paywall to upgrade to the Firefly plan (gives you more credits).

[Z3ROCOOL22]

So, we would pay the subscription we already pay to use an Adobe product, plus the FireFly subscription to get more credits...
But what about people who aren't interested in using FireFly and only want to use PS and get more credits?

[Hannah Nicollet]

Hi Z3ROCOOL22 

 Thanks for the question. Are you asking how many generative credits would you have with a Photography plan? I'm reaching out to get your answer, I just want to be sure I understand the question.

Thanks!
Hannah
