PS 25 - Firefly limited to 2000 x 2000 pixels?

[Lumigraphics]

Reading the FAQs for Firefly/AI, it says that support is up to 2000 x 2000 pixels ("standard images".) I did not use the beta releases, does this mean that larger images (oh, say, from ANY current digital camera) cannot be used with AI features?

I have a 5D IV with >7x and a 5Dsr with >12x that resolution. Am I missing something here?

No. You can use also larger images with the Generative Fill feature, but the area for inserting AI content in a good qualitiy is limited to 2000 x 2000 pixel. If the area is larger the inserted content will be scaled up and the quality gets worse.

Considering that generative fill is processed online on Adobe's servers, not on your local machine, I would assume this is a practical speed/performance limitation.

And, if I may add, it encourages a certain sobriety of use. I tried it two or three times when 25.0 came out (never installed the beta) - and I was immediately hit by the feeling that it wasn't my image anymore. It just wasn't something I wanted to put my name to. It certainly didn't feel very "creative"...

Generated parts or images are still of low resolution and not really usable for professional stuff it seems.

No. As I wrote in my former post you can use any high-resolution image as a basis for editing with AI. But there area that you marked, for example to fill with AI, can't be larger as 2000 x 2000 pixel. Otherwise the quality in this area is lower than the rest of the picture.

See this Youtube video: Photoshop 2024 is HERE. All New Features - YouTube (at 3:30 you see the appropriate infos)

But generating a completely new image from the scratch in printable quality is still not possible.

And always having to watch the 2000x2000px limitation while working is not very good either.

@AKS666 generating a new image completely from scratch would be better served using Firefly.

Which has lower resolution than 2000x2000...

[Kevin Stohlmeyer]

Firefly is still 2000x2000. Basically at this time, anything Firefly/Gen AI has this size limitation.

https://helpx.adobe.com/firefly/technical-requirements.htmlImages can be downloaded from Adobe Firefly web app in the following formats: JPEG and PNG from the Text Effects and Text to Image features and SVG from the Generative Recolor feature and can have a maximum resolution of 2k X 2k.

Square format is 1024 x 1024

16:9  is 1792 x 1024

I think Firefly needs an update... 😉

Current 16:9 is 2688 x 1536px

Early on in Firefly you could click the "Edit" tab on an image you liked and set the resolution to anything you wanted. I was generating tabloid-sized backgrounds for print at 300dpi as well as backgrounds for large 3D renders. For some reason they throttled it down to 2000 pixels which is darn near useless for anyone doing anything serious. It would be easy to say that it was to save server or processing space/time but that's a lame excuse for a company as big as Adobe. Adobe seems to be moving slowly away from the professional creative towards the end user being able to do it all themselves. Welcome to the future where quality goes to die. I still use it for web applications but it's not a viable resource for print unless you need art for a business card.
