Adobe’s New AI Feature Lets You Customize Stock Images On the Fly – No Photoshop Needed
AI-Powered Edits in Adobe Stock
Adobe is updating its Adobe Stock service with an AI-powered feature called "Customize." This feature allows anyone to "refine and tailor" stock images without ever needing to leave the Adobe Stock platform. In other words, you can make quick, easy adjustments to images, including AI-generated image variations, rather than spend hours editing in a separate app like Photoshop.
How It Works
The service lets you search, preview, and license any asset in its library directly from its website or within Adobe Creative Cloud apps, such as Photoshop, Illustrator, Premiere Pro, and After Effects. This integration is handy for those who like to add and manipulate assets right from the Adobe tools they’re already using. But what about people who don’t use Adobe’s other apps? That’s where Customize steps in to help.
The New Feature
The new Customize feature is all about giving you more creative control over Adobe Stock assets. It includes AI image creation and edits, all powered by Adobe Firefly. With this tool, you can now make edits and quick adjustments to images directly in Adobe Stock. You can expand images, apply styles, and make other adjustments, but these require generative credits.
How to Use Customize
To use Customize, follow these steps:
- Search for assets: Use the search bar to find images, photos, or illustrations.
- Select an image: Choose an image you want to edit.
- Click on "Customize": Click on the "Customize" button to make adjustments.
- Refine your image: Use options like "Expand Image" or "Apply Style" to modify your image.
- Review your changes: View and track your edits, including all your AI-powered refinements.
- Download: Once you’re done making edits, you will be able to download and use your finalized asset.
