Firefly steps deeper into pro territory

Adobe’s latest Firefly release marks its biggest leap yet into creator-controlled AI generation.

Key upgrades

- Full layer support in the generation interface brings Firefly closer to Photoshop-level flexibility.
- Users can now train personalized mini-models, fine-tuned on their own creative libraries.
- The new version integrates directly with Adobe Express and Photoshop, streamlining round-tripping between apps.

Why this matters

By giving creators ownership over model behavior, Adobe reinforces its ethical AI positioning - training only on licensed and user-submitted data. This could set a new compliance standard in creative AI markets where copyright risk remains high.
