FULL STORY ====================================================================== Adobe has released a new beta version of its Express app, letting users try out their Firefly generative AI on mobile for the first time. The AI functions much like Firefly on the web since it has a lot of the same features. You can have the AI engine create images from a single text prompt, insert or remove objects from images, and add words with special effects. The service also offers resources like background music tracks, stock videos, and a content scheduler for posting on social media platforms. Its important to mention that all these features and more normally require a subscription to Adobe Express Premium . But, according to the announcement , everything will be available for free while the beta is ongoing. Once its over, youll have to pay the $10-a-month subscription to keep using the tools (Image credit: Adobe) Art projects on the current Express app will not be found in the beta at least not right now. Ian Wang, who is the vice president of product for Adobe Express, told The Verge that once Express with Firefly exits beta, all the historical data from the old app will carry over to the new one. The new replacement Adobe is planning on making Express with Firefly the main platform moving forward. Its unknown when the beta will end. A company representative couldnt give us an exact date, but they told us the company is currently collecting feedback for the eventual launch. When the trial period ends, the representative stated, All eligible devices will be automatically updated to the new [app]. We managed to gain access to the beta and the way it works is pretty simple. Upon installation, youll see a revolving carousel of the AI tools at the top. For this quick demo, well have Firefly make an image from a text prompt. Tap the option, then enter whatever you want to see from the AI. (Image credit: Future) Give it a few seconds to generate the content where youll be given multiple pictures to choose from. From there, you edit the image to your liking. After youre all done, you can publish the finished product on social media or share it with someone. Availability Android users can download the beta directly from the Google Play Store . iPhone owners, on the other hand, will have a harder time. Apple has restrictions on how many testers can have access to beta software at a time. iOS users will instead have to join Adobes waitlist first and wait to get chosen. If youre one of the lucky few, the company will guide you through the process of installing the app on your iPhone. There is a system requirements page listing all of the smartphones eligible for the beta, however, it doesnt appear to be a super strict list. The device we used was a OnePlus Nord N20 and it ran the app just fine. Adobes website also has all the supported languages which include English, French, Korean, plus Brazilian Portuguese.
