Integration with Adobe Firefly

Generative Remove is powered by Adobe Firefly, which has generated over 8 billion images worldwide since its debut in March 2023. Firefly is designed to create content for commercial use without infringing on intellectual property rights. The integration of Firefly across Adobe’s core tools enhances creative workflows by providing precise control and new creative possibilities.

Commitment to Responsible AI Innovation

Adobe emphasizes transparency and ethical AI development. When Generative Remove becomes generally available, Content Credentials will be attached to edited photos. This metadata, akin to a "nutrition label" for digital content, provides tamper-evident information about the content’s creation, modification, and publication process.

Adobe's Content Authenticity Initiative (CAI), founded in 2019, supports the integration of Content Credentials and aims to increase trust in the digital ecosystem. The CAI has grown to include over 3,000 members worldwide, working to add transparency to digital content.

Availability

Generative Remove is now available as an early access feature across the Lightroom ecosystem, including mobile, desktop, iPad, web, and Classic versions. The Lens Blur tool, with new preset functionality, is also generally available across all Lightroom platforms.
