Enhancing Design Efficiency with Generative Recolor
With Generative Recolor, designers can now effortlessly refresh the colors & fonts of their designs on Adobe Illustrator, saving valuable time. Utilizing descriptive prompts such as “peaceful pastels,” “neon pop,” or “fall foliage,” users can generate unique variations of an image. It can also be used to create color palettes tailored to seasonal marketing and advertising campaigns. Leveraging the power of Adobe’s Firefly AI, Generative Recolor generates renders of a scene or theme based on textual prompts. It extracts color palettes from the resulting image and seamlessly applies them to the user’s graphic, thereby recoloring it according to the desired mood or theme.

Expanding Generative AI Capabilities
Adobe’s foray into generative AI has seen remarkable success, with users creating nearly 200 million images using Adobe’s text-to-image AI tool since its launch in March. Responding to the growing interest from consumers, Adobe has revealed its plans to bring generative AI capabilities to enterprises, further revolutionizing the design landscape. However, concerns have been raised by artists and Adobe stock contributors regarding the use of their work to train Adobe’s generative AI model without explicit permission, as well as the lack of transparency surrounding the utilization of public domain images.
Fueling Innovation and Ensuring Compliance
Adobe has emphasized its commitment to legal compliance and transparency to address these concerns. While Firefly, Adobe’s domestic AI model, is trained on public domain images from Creative Commons, Wikimedia, Flickr Commons, and Adobe Stock, the company has assured users that it will compensate enterprise customers for any legal expenses related to copyright infringement claims. Additionally, Adobe continues to invest in improving the quality of its AI model, Firefly, with hundreds of researchers dedicated to enhancing image generation quality, resolution, and detail. Adobe is also developing video and 3D generation models, expanding its data catalog by incorporating data from Adobe Stock.
