Since Adobe released its text-to-image generative AI tool, Firefly, last year, the company had to grapple with diverse new challenges. Adobe Stock, perhaps as much as any of Adobe's platforms, had to adapt quickly.

Adobe has released a new Photoshop update, adding new selection and adjustment brushes, leveling up Firefly's text-to-image from beta to public release, and improving Photoshop's type tool.

Less than two weeks after significant outrage concerning Adobe's Terms of Use, fueled in part by poor communication, a lack of trust, and good old-fashioned misinformation, Adobe has delivered its promised revised Terms of Use, complete with new explainer text and assurances.

Adobe's employees are typically of the same opinion of the company as its users, having internally already expressed concern that AI could kill the jobs of their customers. That continued this week in internal discussions, where exasperated employees implored leadership to not let it be the "evil" company customers think it is.

The confusion and anger surrounding an Adobe Terms of Use update last week caused Adobe to revisit its language and communications at large. Beyond a blog post late last week, Adobe today published another blog post, announcing plans for direct communications with customers and an updated Terms of Use.

Continuing its push for commercial and enterprise customers, Adobe has announced Express for Enterprise, promising to deliver automated content creation, AI tools, and ease of use.

Last year, Getty rejected AI generated content and announced that it would not accept any submissions created with AI models. The company is reiterating that in an email sent to creators that now specifically calls out Adobe.

After months of being in public beta, Adobe has officially released Firefly, its generative artificial intelligence (AI) technology, to the world but with a catch: it is somewhat regulated by what are called "generative credits."

Photographers and creators have raised concerns over Adobe's Firefly accusing the software giant of setting up competition against them without being paid for it.

Adobe has announced that it is making its Firefly generative artificial intelligence (AI) available to enterprise customers to allow brands to deploy it across their organizations and custom train it with their own assets.

Adobe is adding its Firefly generative artificial intelligence (AI) directly into Photoshop, allowing for a new Generative Fill function that can extend images or remove objects and giving the AI access to Photoshop's power and precision.

Amazon Web Services (AWS) has announced Amazon Bedrock and numerous new services built on advanced artificial intelligence (AI) services. Amazon Bedrock is the company's new application programming interface (API) for developers to utilize Amazon's new generative AI tools.

Adobe has announced a new business suite of tools called Adobe Express for Enterprise which is being bundled with its Creative Cloud for Enterprise subscription, effectively forcing businesses to at least consider moving away from Canva.

Adobe has announced Firefly, what it calls the first in a new family of generative artificial intelligence (AI) models that are focused on creating images and text effects. It launches in beta today.

Firefly photography isn't a novel concept. In fact, long-exposure images of these glowing creatures lighting up beautiful forest scenes have appeared on PetaPixel a couple of times before... we've even featured a tutorial on the subject. But photographer Vincent Brady's firefly time-lapse above IS novel.

It's novel, not because it's a time-lapse of fireflies (we're sure that's been done a time or two) but because he combined many different photographic techniques to create something truly breathtaking.

Getting dust out of your camera body, and especially off of your sensor, can be a tricky process. It's not that there aren't plenty of options out there, it's that most of them put your sensor and other sensitive pieces of your camera at risk. Even ye olde air blower isn't entirely safe. The FireFly digital sensor cleaner, however, seems to be.

Digital Photo Blog shot these beautiful long exposure photographs of gold fireflies in Japan during the June to July rainy season, when they come together to mate.

The Israeli army has a tactical intelligence device called the "Firefly" -- a wireless camera that's launched out of a grenade launcher, capturing eight seconds worth of imagery as it floats on a parachute from 500 feet in the air.
