Adobe AI is out of Beta

Attention anyone who uses Photoshop or has experimented with Adobe Firefly: while in beta it was not allowed to be used commercially. That ended today. They made an announcement that it is out of beta and can now be used commercially.

From a post I made months ago, Keeping this in mind when anyone posts AI generated content:

Awesome. I have found that AI can sometimes produce passable mock-ups if the request is simple enough- like a jar of preserves.

An FYI - generated image sizes top out at 1024 x 1024... so at this point at least, it's only good for things that are going to end up pretty small (that's a little less than 3.5 x 3.5 @ 300 dpi). You can fudge it by generating your image that much at a time, but that's probably only going to work when you are doing stuff like filling in missing background. It's not going to work too well for more complex tasks.

It just won't do for a rug, but mockups are very do-able.

Most definitely. I've been busily getting it to make jars of stuff for my food labels. - especially the more obscure things that I haven't found any stock images at all for... I cannot get the darn thing to produce a pie box though.. it just won't no matter how I word it..

I've fixed (or ignored) some ocassional wonkiness... but overall it's been doing pretty well.

Oh - pro tip - using just a little "add noise" filter can take the edge of the glassy, too sharp, somewhat unreal look that a lot of AI generated images seem to have.. It doesn't take too much, but it makes a big difference to the old eyeballs.

Those are some quality mockups.😃

Thank you very much for that tip! I was wondering how you got these mockups to not have that typical AI look.

[ievajen]

yes, competition pressed them, and quality is very nice, just keep rating and putting thumbs up for them, so can train their model even better

I updated my Photoshop and have been trying out generative fill.... Well, so far I haven't been super successful at getting it to give me anything useable. First I tried to get it to add a bottle of dressing to an image that already had a salad in it.. it just would not make it in focus. The AI was fixated on making it part of the blurred background, no matter where I placed the box to generate. I also tried to add a bottle of syrup to an image of pancakes, as AI doesn't seem to be able to make non-wonky pancakes - also a no go. The bottle was at least in focus, but was weird no matter what I asked for - misshapen, oddly sized...  I tried dropping an out of focus background into an image that was on white. It does work, but it just doesn't look quite right. I can't put my finger on exactly what is wrong, but it just was stuck in the uncanny valley.
