Now available in the April 2024 release of Photoshop (beta) on desktop 25.9 previews an early look at a new capability in Photoshop -- Generate Image.

 

Generate Image, using Text to Image technology, enables you to create entire images and composites from scratch on a canvas using descriptive text prompts and additional creative controls, including Content Type, Style Effects, and Reference Image, all without leaving Photoshop.

 

To access this feature, follow one of these steps:

  1. Navigate to Edit > Generate Image   
  2. In an empty canvas, see the button option in the contextual task bar 

     

  3.  From the tool in the toolbar.   

 

The options in generating the image include:

  • Prompt: type a descriptive prompt into the textbox, including details such as desired colors, mood, lighting, and style to help guide the creative process
  • Prompt inspiration: use this curated inspiration gallery of Firefly-powered user-generated images and their corresponding prompts which you can use as-is or edit further
  • Content type: choose whether your generated image is more artistic or photographic in its content
  • Reference image: you can upload a Reference Image containing a desired style (i.e., watercolor) to inform the style of your generated output
  • Style effect: choose from a selectio of style effects (such as Constructivism) to influence the output.  You can select multiple effects.

 

Feedback requested!

  • Tell us what you think of the images created using this feature -- does the result meet your expectations? In what way does it or does it not?
  • How are you using this tool with your creative projects
  • Are there more controls you'd like to have available to generate an image?

 

Known issues:

  • Groups of people are not generating as expected
  • Hands, feet, faces may sometimes not appear as expected
  • Sometimes a style effect may not seem to apply

 

Thank you so much for taking the time to evaluate this feature and provide your feedback -- we really value your input to help improve this capability!

Heads up, we have some bugs in this week's beta build (m.2625) where reference image and style effects are not being applied when using Generate Image.  We are working on a fix and will hopefully get that updated in the next beta build, thanks!

No mention of the model.

Is Generative Fill using the same old Firefly 1 or it's using the newest model 2?
