This week, sound becomes a free tool, and at the same time it shows how visible AI work already is in the media.
Music, voice and sound in Firefly: now without a separate subscription
Adobe opens up Firefly's audio features for all users. Your presentation or reel can finally have its own sound.
Adobe has made Generate Music, Generate Speech and Generate Sound Effects in Firefly available to everyone. Until now, these features sat behind the Creative Cloud Pro subscription. A free version of the Firefly AI Assistant is also on the way. Adobe is also adding the Gemini Omni Flash model to its model library. For anyone who makes images, this means you can now add temporary music, a voice-over or a sound effect to your work, without needing an extra subscription.
Background for subscribersFirefly now also makes music, speech and sound effects, without needing a pricier subscription. For you, this means you can easily add sound to silent presentation videos, walkthroughs or reels. At the same time, Adobe's Times Square campaign shows how visible AI imagery already is: clients may already have that image in their heads before you even talk to them.
Photoshop update: adjust light without wrecking your photo
The Photoshop update in August and September brings a new Light adjustment layer. It lets you bring back detail in highlights and shadows, without touching the original pixels. There are also glow effects in Camera Raw, better text on paths (Dynamic Fit) and an AI Assisted workspace. Generative editing has also become more precise.
