Pro-Tips for using Generative Fill:

  • Use larger, loose selections with the Selection Brush.

This is huge! Bringing Gemini 2.5 Flash Image and Flux Kontext Pro directly into Photoshop’s Generative Fill workflow is a game-changer for creators. Having style transfer, text editing, and complex object transformations built right into a non-destructive environment means faster, cleaner, and way more controlled edits. Can’t wait to see how much this speeds up real-world creative workflows!

This is awesome—thanks for the update! The addition of Gemini 2.5 (Nano Banana) and Flux Kontext Pro inside Generative Fill opens up a lot of creative possibilities, especially for more precise edits and style-focused work. I really like that both models serve different purposes instead of being just another “one-size-fits-all” option.

The credit difference makes sense, though 10 credits per premium generation might get expensive fast, so I’m curious how that balances out in real workflows. Still, great to finally see partner models directly integrated rather than relying only on Firefly.

Getting excited to try this out in 27.0—especially for character-consistent edits and background replacements. Thanks for the detailed instructions and tips!

Thanks for the update! It’s exciting to see Flux Kontext Pro and Gemini 2.5 integrated into Generative Fill, especially with different strengths for context-aware edits vs. stylistic transformations. I do have one question though—do these models use the actual canvas context the same way Firefly does, or do they rely mostly on the prompt and selection area? Just trying to understand how precise the control is.

Huge news! Generative Fill was already great, but adding models optimized for consistency (Flux) and detail (Nano Banana) is next level. Congrats to the team on getting these integrated so quickly. Downloading the update now to test them out!

I have 1000 Firely credits per month. Does this mean they cannot be used to renew Nano Banana or Fux.1 Kontext credits?

Thanks for the update!
The new integration of Gemini 2.5 (Nano Banana) and Flux Kontext Pro into Photoshop 27.0 looks great so far.

I’ve tested a few features already, and here’s what I noticed:

Flux Kontext Pro handles complex edits with much better structure and realism—especially for object manipulation.

Gemini 2.5 feels noticeably faster for quick creative adjustments and texture-style edits.

The Model Picker inside Generative Fill is a big improvement. Switching models for different tasks makes the workflow smoother.

One question:
Are there any recommended prompt styles or optimization tips from Adobe for getting the best results from each model? Especially for text editing and style transfer?

Overall, loving the direction—thanks for continuing to improve the GenAI workflow in Photoshop!

I am on an enterprise account and our admin/IT hasn't approved the Parner Model functionality within Photoshop yet. As a workaround, can I use an adobe stock photo in nano banana to create a video clip and use it commercially?

Hello,
I've used up all my Nano Banana and Flux.1 Kontext credits. I'm only being offered Firely credits, even though I have 1000/1000! How can I get more Nano Banana and Flux.1 Kontext credits?

Only getting one or two uses before you to subscribe to yet another thing from Adobe makes it virtusally useless for the non -business user of the sfotware.
