Adobe adds Google Gemini 3 Nano Banana Pro to Firefly and Photoshop

Adobe has expanded its AI lineup again, bringing Google’s latest image model, Gemini 3 (Nano Banana Pro), to both Adobe Firefly and Photoshop. The update gives creators more freedom to pick the model that fits their task, while keeping everything inside the tools they already use.

Adobe says the decision follows a global study of more than 16,000 creators, where over 60% said they rely on multiple AI models for different types of visual work. With this integration, creators no longer have to jump between apps or pay extra for separate subscriptions.

A growing mix of AI models inside Adobe apps

Adobe now supports a broad selection of partner models across images, video, and audio. The list includes Black Forest Labs, ElevenLabs, Ideogram, Luma AI, Moonvalley, OpenAI, Pika, Runway, Topaz Labs, and earlier versions from Google.

Gemini 3 Nano Banana Pro joins this lineup as a pro-grade option, meant to handle more demanding edits. It builds on the earlier Nano Banana model, which saw strong adoption among Firefly users.

The new model can edit specific parts of an image with simple text prompts, modify aspect ratios, raise resolution, and even shift lighting or camera angles. It also generates cleaner text inside images and can localize visuals with translated text. Since it draws on Google Search’s knowledge base, it aims to produce fact-based visuals instead of guesswork.

Unlimited generations until December 1

To help creators try the new model, Adobe is offering unlimited generations in the Firefly app until December 1 for Creative Cloud Pro and Firefly plan subscribers. This applies to Firefly’s own models as well as partner models like Nano Banana Pro.

How Nano Banana Pro works inside Firefly

In the Firefly app, users can upload as many as six reference images and mix them using a single prompt. Early examples show the model merging design elements cleanly and placing integrated text directly inside visuals.

On Firefly Boards, Adobe’s collaborative moodboarding space, creative teams can drop in text, icons, and sketches, then ask the model to show them in real-world contexts. For instance, a simple concept can be placed on a New York billboard for client preview.

The model is also live in Firefly’s Text to Image feature, allowing creators to turn prompts into polished images ready for refinement.

Powering more realistic edits in Photoshop

In Photoshop, Nano Banana Pro becomes the latest engine behind Generative Fill. The feature lets creators make precise edits through prompts, then fine-tune them with layers, masks, and selections. This keeps the workflow consistent while raising the quality of generated content.

Adobe recently added other partner models like Google’s Nano Banana and Black Forest Labs’ FLUX.1 Kontext [pro]. Nano Banana Pro builds on these by offering more realistic lighting changes, such as converting daytime shots into nighttime scenes.

Availability

Adobe says creators can start using Gemini 3 Nano Banana Pro immediately in both Firefly and Photoshop. With more models expected to join the lineup, the company is positioning its creative tools as a single hub for every style of AI-generated visual work.
