Adobe unveiled a suite of generative‑AI upgrades at its Max event, letting Photoshop’s Generative Fill run on third‑party models such as Google’s Gemini 2.5 Flash and Black Forest Labs’ Flux.1 Kontext alongside Adobe’s own Firefly. The company also introduced a web‑based AI Assistant for Photoshop, an Assisted Culling tool in Lightroom, and a Firefly Image 5 model that natively generates four‑megapixel images with improved human realism and new Layered Image Editing capabilities. Premiere Pro received an AI Object Mask beta that automatically isolates people and objects for faster color‑grading and effects. Together, these tools aim to automate routine edits and give creators more creative control across Adobe’s Creative Cloud apps.
