Release and use
The April 2024 Photoshop beta adds Text to Image and updates Generative Fill with Firefly Image 3. Alongside selection-based additions, it expands entry points for starting an image from text. This application update is distinct from the same day’s underlying model announcement.

Change in creative practice
One application can contain generation from scratch, local replacement and manual retouching, making provenance harder to infer from a finished image. Layered files and operation records become important evidence of labour and contribution.
