AI image creation has been a revolution in 2023, and this year we will see how this technology matures and its possibilities expand. One of the companies most interested in this situation is Adobe.
Adobe sees AI as the next step in its commitment to creating content with programs such as Photoshop or Illustrator; Both have already received functions based on Firefly, the generative AI platform developed by Adobe, but now here is the application that brings this technology to the general public: Express.
Adobe Express launched in beta last March, and today the company announced the general availability of the mobile app. In this way, Android users now have access to one of the fastest and most powerful applications for creating and editing im ages using AI.
This is Adobe Express for Android
Adobe Express for Android is a free application that we can download directly from Google Play. Although Adobe offers the option to get a premium account for $9.99 per month (or $99.99 per year), only some of the more advanced features require it; the rest of the functions are free to access, even if to avoid abuse, Adobe has implemented a credit system. Users receive 24 credits each month and can spend one each time they use a generative AI feature in the app.
Among these generative AI functions, some are typical and others are very innovative. For example, there is no shortage create images from text; We just have to write what we want and the Adobe cloud will create it. But this is only the beginning.
A very interesting detail is that Adobe Express can use the photos that we have stored on our mobile phone, to modify them as we wish. For example, we can remove the background from a photo, or remove an object or subject that we don’t want to see, as the magic eraser in Google Photos already does.
But what about the opposite? Why Adobe Express allows us add objects to our photos, using the image generator to create the object; For example, we may ask you to add a bird to the photo or a hat to a person, indicating the area we want to edit.
Content creators can easily see the potential of Adobe Express, which has sections dedicated to create Instagram stories, YouTube videos or TikTok videos. This content can be generated or based on content already photographed or recorded that we have on our mobile. It is also capable of creating animations from audio, merging videos or subtitling videos. Premium features, like the ability to create brands and your logos, will also come in handy.
