What’s New in Adobe Firefly?
-
In Lightroom, you can now bring landscapes to life or remove unwanted glare with just one click, thanks to tools like Scene Enhancement and Reflection Removal. It doesn’t get easier than that.
-
Photoshop introduces Dynamic Type, making text manipulation much more flexible, along with more precise subject selection—all cloud-powered. This makes editing complex backgrounds or cutting out elements almost automatic.
-
In Illustrator, the standout feature is Generative Expand, which lets you extend your vector designs without losing style or quality. It’s perfect for adapting artwork to different sizes or platforms without starting from scratch.
One of the most exciting additions is Firefly Boards, a collaborative space designed for creative teams. Think of it as a digital whiteboard where you can build mood boards, storyboards, or even videos—all in one place. Best of all, you can switch between AI models from Adobe, Google, OpenAI, or Runway without needing separate accounts. Everything runs smoothly from a single interface.
Adobe keeps upgrading its apps, and honestly, editing photos or creating content has never been this easy. With the power of AI and decades of creative expertise, Adobe remains the go-to name in digital creativity.
And even though these are Adobe tools, they’re deeply integrated with the Microsoft ecosystem. If you use Windows 11, a Surface device, or store files on OneDrive, you’ll have no trouble leveraging all these features. Plus, for team projects, tools like Teams and SharePoint make sharing and reviewing work in real time as easy as sending a message.
