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.

Hi @Hannah Nicollet 

Your first suggestion has worked! I had no idea that I needed to adjust these settings in the Settings tab.

Thank you very much for your support!

Kind regards,

I reached the limit today for Nano Banana and received the upgrade notification. It shows number of videos...I'm wondering how many photos per day with each upgrade. What is the photo limits if I subscribe?

[amy durocher]

When we ship Nano Banana and Flux Kontext at MAX, we will start charging credits for use (10 credits per generation for either Nano Banana and Flux).

For CC Standard, Photography Plan, and Photoshop Single App users, you have the following options: upgrade to CC Pro to get 4000 credits per month (the credits don't roll over right now) or update to a Firefly Plan (Standard, Pro, or Premium) - to buy more credits.

If you are already a CC Pro user,  and need more credits, your option is to buy more with an additional Firefly subscription. 

Please note that if you upgrade now, there is an issue with our configuration. You will not be able to use your credits while in Beta, and you will need to wait until the end of October when we release the GM MAX version of Photoshop.

Testing Nano Banana and reached the "complementary generations used " 
( easlily done as 90 % of generations are not usable 🙂 
I'm trying to understand  what is next - 
( i'm on photography plan )   
It looks like for now without  special Firefly subscrition - I'm locked from NB usage .

 
After 28 Oct  - 

Does it mean i get 100 credits per month from 28 Oct and every
NB usage is 10 credits  per single usage - 
vs  Firefly  1 credit per usage ? 


Is Nano Banana  considered " premium generative " and Firefly  " standard generative " ? 
a lot of very confusing info about pricing. 🙂
