We are living in the time of the artificial intelligence revolution, and new tools using artificial intelligence pop up every now and then.
Now the application developer Adobe has also jumped on the bandwagon of creative tools. The company released an artificial intelligence tool called Firefly as part of its Photoshop image processing program. VP of Adobe Pam Clarke told about the reform on the company’s blog.
The company strives to ensure that artificial intelligence respects copyright. You can set a learning ban for the artificial intelligence, so the produced image does not end up in the artificial intelligence’s learning algorithm.
– In the development of Firefly artificial intelligence, we take content producers into account in accordance with our ethical principles, which include responsibility and transparency, Clarke states.
Clarke says that with the help of Firefly, artists and producers could speed up their work.
The tool is currently in beta, and only available to paying Adobe Creative Cloud users. According to the company, the service will become more widespread later this year.
Add, remove or move things
Adobe’s artificial intelligence tool can be used in image editing to add information to the image, to move elements in the image, or to delete things in the image.
Video service Based on the videos circulating on Youtube, some of the features seem a bit clumsy for now, but the features will definitely improve.
The clumsiness is particularly noticeable when the artificial intelligence is asked to add something to the image that was not there before. In this case, you can notice from the details that the image was made with artificial intelligence.
The tool works most convincingly when the person editing the image wants to remove something from the image that does not suit the eye or to expand the perspective, for example.
Google also recently released a similar AI for image processing.
