Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop add AI features that do hours of design work in minutes

New tools create and adjust fine details with prompts and reference images instead of tedious manual adjustments.
Adobe is rolling out a bunch of new AI features for Photoshop and Illustrator that aim to speed up the design process and offer more control and variety to users. Using Adobe’s Firefly generative AI models, the company suggests it will take a fraction of the time it currently takes to manually produce minute image details.
One of the most notable additions is the Generative Shape Fill feature. It fills in detailed vector graphics to shapes based on text prompts like the one in the above image. The Firefly Vector AI model handles the rest, and you suddenly have multiple options for logos and other branded material.
A graphic designer working on a new logo for a tech startup could use Generative Shape Fill to quickly generate complex vector patterns and shapes that align with the brand’s futuristic theme. By entering specific text prompts like “geometric tech shapes” or “futuristic circuits,” the designer can explore various intricate designs without manually drawing each element.
Smarter patterns
To build a pattern from scratch, the new Text to Pattern option does as the name suggests and converts a text prompt into a scalable vector pattern. If you don’t know how to describe exactly what you want, there’s even a new Style Reference feature that takes uploaded images as inspiration for Adobe’s AI creation. Similarly, the new Retype feature can edit otherwise static text and offer ideas for a font to match the image.
The new Photoshop-specific AI features center more on streamlining the often repetitive tasks necessary for editing images. The Selection Brush Tool and Adjustment Brush Tool do as their names hint and make selecting and adjusting parts of an image easier with AI assistance to separate out the elements with more precision.
The new AI features are more than just digital aids. The Dimension tool can make precise sizing measurements, while the Mockup feature can produce visual prototypes that fit the curves and edges of real-life objects. So, an architect designing a new residential building could accurately plot out floor plans and elevations with the Dimension tool, while a fashion designer might apply Mockup to their designs to see how they look on different types of garments.
AI Visualize
No matter how good the AI tools are, Adobe is still embroiled in the debate over how its Firefly AI models get trained. The company recently made it clear it won’t use projects made by its customers for AI training, but the larger conflict over ethical AI and synthetic media is far from resolved.
Still, AI augmentation of Illustrator and Photoshop marks a milestone for Adobe’s technology strategy. And Adobe has a lot of utopian ideals, at least in its official philosophy. The company described its goal for the new AI tools as not only increasing productivity but also creativity. The idea is that AI helps designers push the boundaries of their vision.
Adobe’s new innovations in Illustrator and Photoshop are built directly into designers’ existing workflows, offering new ways to create and helping them to work faster and focus on what they do best – drawing, designing, and bringing their creative visions to life,” Adobe senior vice president for digital media Ashley Still said in a release on the new features.
Adobe发布新AI工具，可即时生成效果图，数小时工作现在一分钟内完成
Adobe 宣布在 Illustrator 和Photoshop中新增生成式人工智能功能，旨在加快内容创作者的创意工作流程。正如预期的那样，这些 Gen AI 功能均由 Adobe 自家的Firefly 模型提供支持。
Illustrator 中全新的”生成形状填充”功能（测试版）允许创作者直接在上下文任务栏中使用文本提示为形状快速添加详细的矢量图，在速度、功能和精度方面都有所提高。使用该功能，创作者可以轻松地匹配自己作品的风格和颜色，创建各种可编辑和可缩放的矢量图形选项。
除了”生成形状填充”之外，Illustrator 还增加了多项新功能，包括尺寸工具、模拟（测试版）、上下文任务栏、Retype、增强型选择工具、文本到图案（测试版）、样式参考等。
借助 Adobe Firefly Image 3 模型，Photoshop 现在可以让创作者使用文本提示生成图像。Photoshop 还提供了简化重复性任务的新功能，如选区画笔工具、调整画笔工具，以及对类型工具和上下文任务栏的改进。
根据发布消息，Adobe 的 Photoshop 和 Illustrator 具有以下由 Firefly 模型支持的生成式人工智能功能：
1.Illustrator 中全新的“生成形状填充“功能使设计师能够快速为形状添加详细的矢量图，并以设计师自己的独特风格进行概念构思，或在现有的艺术作品和设计中添加更多细节。
2.增强的Illustrator文本到图案功能可加快创意过程，使设计师能够使用简单的文本提示，在设计项目中构思、创建和缩放自定义矢量图案。
3.Illustrator 中的风格参考可帮助设计师快速编辑和缩放矢量图形作品，包括主题、场景和图标，使其具有自己的独特风格。
4.在 Photoshop 中的生成图像由 Adobe FireflyImage3 模型提供支持，可直接在 Photoshop 中以新的创意控制水平启动构思和创作，从而消除空白页。
5.在 Photoshop 中的生成填充中增强细节，在大尺寸图像格式中提供更清晰的细节。
Adobe Illustrator 和 Photoshop 的最新更新标志着在将生成式人工智能整合到创意工作流程方面向前迈出了重要一步。通过利用 Firefly 模型的强大功能，Adobe 使创作者能够简化他们的流程，探索新的艺术途径，并最终以更高的效率和精度将他们的构想变为现实。
