Adobe has improved the Generative Fill feature in the Photoshop beta to include new AI models from Google and Black Forest Labs.
The update introduces Google’s Gemini 2.5 Flash Image Model (Nano Banana) and Black Forest Labs’ FLUX.1 Kontext [pro], which now appear alongside Adobe’s Firefly image models within Photoshop’s Generative Fill tool. The addition gives users access to multiple AI generation options directly inside Photoshop, enabling them to add, remove, or modify image content using natural-language prompts and then refine results with Photoshop’s traditional editing tools.
Gemini 2.5 Flash Image focuses on stylized and graphic elements, while FLUX.1 Kontext [pro] emphasizes contextual consistency and perspective. Adobe Firefly continues to offer production-ready, commercially safe image generation with detailed control over composition and style.
According to Adobe, the integration allows creative professionals to work fluidly between generative content creation and pixel-level refinement without leaving the application. Both new models are available now in the Photoshop beta.

Firefly isn’t that good. Every time I tried it, it gave me poor results. Flux and Nano could be much better alternatives. Do you think Adobe will discontinue Firefly?
Firefly is one of the few models out there that are trained only on licensed training data. In many commercial use cases this is currently a requirement and a USP (that you pay quite a fee for in enterprise environments)
