On Friday, Adobe unveiled its Firefly AI and Lightroom apps for the Apple Vision Pro headset, offering users a unique way to interact with images and photo editing in a virtual environment.

The Firefly AI app allows for the creation and placement of AI-generated images within real-world settings, offering a seamless blend of digital and physical spaces.

Additionally, Adobe Lightroom has been adapted for the Vision Pro, featuring a user-friendly interface ideal for navigating with hand gestures.

This integration represents a significant step forward in creative VR applications, potentially justifying the Vision Pro's premium price for dedicated creatives.

Midjourney has refreshed its "Niji" style, a digital art style that draws inspiration from the vibrant world of anime. This new update includes new features including enhanced understanding for complex prompts and the ability to incorporate simple text directly onto images.

For those less inclined towards anime, the “style raw” option offers an alternative aesthetic. The full release promises greater artistic control with new features like “Vary (Region),” “Pan,” and “Zoom.

Midjourney also introduced a Style Reference tool, allowing you to introduce image-influenced styles. By adding --sref followed by image URLs to your prompt, the tool interprets the images as style guides, aiming to emulate their aesthetic and feel.

To utilize it, you need to specify image URLs for your image references, along with your text prompt. You can additionally adjust the “weight” or “influence” of the reference style and set the overall style intensity with the --sw parameter.

This feature, compatible with both MidJourney Version 6 and Niji 6, promises future expansions like the "Consistent Character" function with a --cref prompt, focusing less on replicating forms and more on capturing style elements like lighting and color.

On Thursday, Google launched "ImageFX" on Thursday, a free-to-use AI image generator that stands out for its user-friendly interface and lifelike results.

You can find ImageFX (along with other cool tools) on Google Labs, and it's notable for its special tools like "expressive chips" that let you tweak your image requests easily, and "SynthID" watermarking from Google DeepMind that ensures the images are marked as authentic AI creations.

There were also improvements made to other Google Labs tools:

ImageFX is currently available to users in the U.S., Kenya, New Zealand, and Australia.

However, you can now access the image generator in Google Bard, which is available to use for free in 200+ countries.
