Read MoreHide Full Article

Adobe (ADBE - Free Report) introduced a generative AI-backed tool called Generative Recolor, which is currently in beta stage.

Generative Recolor has been developed by integrating Adobe Firefly into Adobe Illustrator. It transforms colors in vector artwork and allows designers to experiment seamlessly with colors using simple text prompts.

Moreover, Generative Recolor offers quick recoloring of graphics to designers. Also, it enables them to generate numerous color variations from a single artwork file.

Firefly, the company’s family of creative generative AI models, will boost the creative workflows within Adobe Illustrator with additional speed, precision and power.

Thus, the latest integration will accelerate the creative process by reducing the time required for color processes.

We believe Adobe is likely to gain strong traction among designers with the useful and time-saving features of Generative Recolor.
