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.

I mean, right now i'm paying the PS plan, so you say "We could upgrade to a FireFly plan" to get more credits.

But it's not an upgrade, because i will be paying PS Plan + FF Plan.

[onazole]

• 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
•  
• I have the photography plan, and I've only used the Flux option a dozen times, and it already tells me I've used all the free generations. I still have over 200 generation credits. It gives me the "Upgrade" option, but if I click on it, it just tells me to buy more credits.
• Thanks.

Good gracious Amy.  I looked at your avatar and so thought I was looking at Julianne Kost.  You could be sisters.

[amy durocher]

I will take that as a very sweet compliment! Julianne and I are work buddies : )

Not working in the latest version I updated on Sept 25 at 2:30 pm, whats going on

[amy durocher · Accepted solution]

@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)

[retromedia_7003]

dear, is that true that the rollout has not completed around the globe?? 

[amy durocher]

The rollover around the globe has completed.

updated to this version but it does not work

[Hannah Nicollet]

Hi Captivating_Sunshine2177,

Can you please tell me the steps your following and maybe share a screen capture of the file/workspace so I can see what's happening?

Thanks!
Hannah

[andreaXsilver78]

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?

[Hannah Nicollet]

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!
Hannah

[andreaXsilver78]

yes correct

[Hannah Nicollet]

Are you by any chance an enterprise user?

[andreaXsilver78]

Yes, and the IT Admin adjusted the settings in the Admin Console as you mentioned in a message below. It worked. Thank you very much for the quick answer!

[Davide_Di Mattina6778]

when i try to generate some content wiht nano banana or flux, i have this error message. with firefly everthing works instead. please help me 

[amy durocher]

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).

[Davide_Di Mattina6778]

Could you tell me where the admin have to go to activate this feature?

[amy durocher]

The Adobe Admin Console....

[seanp93563439]

I found the solution in the Admin Console under Settings>Asset Settings>Non-Adobe Generative AI Models>Toggle the switch and it will turn it to Allowed. And you will be good to go from ther

[retromedia_7003]

We are on Enterprise plan. does allowing Non-Adobe Generative AI Models cost more credits or it costs just like Adobe Firefly? i mean do we have to pay extra money to use Nano Banana ? Appreciated.

[amy durocher]

Right now, in the Beta app: you should get:

• 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.

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.

[amy durocher]

@Mokid33999676bwd4 Did you try going to the Admin Console > Settings > Asset Settings > Non-Adobe Generative AI Models > Toggle the switch ON,  to Allowed?
