At its annual MAX 2025 event in Los Angeles, Adobe pushed the boundaries of creative tech once again — this time leaning harder into AI. The company announced a sweeping set of updates across Firefly, Creative Cloud, Express, and GenStudio, all built around a single idea: making AI an assistant, not a replacement, for creators.
The highlight was Firefly Image Model 5, now in public beta, which promises sharper 4MP native resolution and more photorealistic results for prompt-based editing. Adobe also unveiled AI assistants across apps like Photoshop, Express, and Firefly, designed to let users describe what they want in plain language and refine it using familiar creative tools — essentially bringing a conversational layer to the design process.
What stood out this year was the openness. Adobe is integrating models from Google, OpenAI, Runway, ElevenLabs, and Topaz Labs, giving users the flexibility to choose how they create. For professionals, new features like Generative Upscale, AI Object Mask, and Assisted Culling make bulk editing, video cleanup, and image selection faster without losing creative control.
On the enterprise side, GenStudio continues to evolve as a full content supply chain platform, now enhanced with generative tools and integrations with Amazon Ads, LinkedIn, and TikTok. Meanwhile, Firefly Foundry gives brands the option to train custom AI models in their own visual language — a move that could redefine how companies scale on-brand creative output.
Adobe’s message this year was clear: AI isn’t here to do the work for you, it’s here to help you move faster, iterate smarter, and stay in control of your craft.
