You know that image of the day when Photoshop could work like the computer in Star Trek?
Select lighting, say, snap your fingers and that's it: moves shadows; moves things; clears text; hell, maybe even turn your sketch into something like a finished poster?
Well, maybe that time has come. Adobe Photoshop and Adobe Firefly just received a huge update: Nano Banana Pro – a new model for creating and manipulating images Gemini 3 from Google.
The integration means that in the future, creators working in Firefly or Photoshop will be able to leverage the capabilities of Nano Banana Pro to achieve more fluid and high-quality AI-generated visuals.
Adobe is also enabling unlimited image generation through Firefly and its pool of partner models – but only as a limited-time offer (until December 1, 2025) for paying Creative Cloud Pro and Firefly subscribers.
What's new under the hood? The model offers sharper resolution – up to 4K – better support for text, layout, lighting and composition.
You could post a sketch, a hint, maybe some reference photos and get something polished in return.
It's a hell of a leap over its predecessor (Nano Banana/Gemini 2.5) which was already causing a stir – but now we're fully treated to professional-grade features.
Similarly, if you are making mockups, posters, infographics, or anything else that involves text and complex layouts, this can also significantly reduce your design time.
Consider creating visuals, ads, or mood boards for social media with a few quick edits, rather than playing with layers all day long.
Firefly allows you to upload up to six reference images, stitch them together, change the angle, edit the lighting, or simply generate from scratch using prompts.
On a macro level, this seems like a turning point for creative tools. Generating AI images is no longer a side quest or a “fun experiment.”
With players like Adobe and Google doubling down, it's preparing to become a fundamental part of how visual content is created. Independent artists, marketing specialists, small studios – this can be a game changer.
Still, some questions remain. Infinite Generation is an exciting prospect for a limited time – but what will happen on December 1? Will imposing usage limits reduce its attractiveness?
AI-generated images also don't do the best justice to styling and have a long way to go compared to real-world concept art; will he use it for high-stakes commercial or branding purposes, against man-made integrity?
That means I'm carefully inflated. For me, I'd love to use Nano Banana Pro to quickly create a mockup of a campaign or poster – just look how much closer it brings me to something that isn't a way to spend hours.
If you want, I can go through some early user demos and see what works – and what still looks very similar to AI.
