Implementation of AI into visual design has expanded exponentially over the last few years. Software makers have responded enthusiastically to bringing many new AI features to their users, and oftentimes done so in a user-friendly way.

Keeping pace, the Adobe Creative Suite software has risen to the AI challenge. While maintaining the fundamental approach to design based on original and individual creation, Adobe is giving us a broad range of AI features that are integrated into the software.

Adobe’s AI generative-image engines

Similarly to prompting DALL-E or Midjourney to render a visual, Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop provide extensive AI image rendering.

I decided to explore and compare an identical prompt in DALL-E, Adobe Illustrator, and Adobe Photoshop.

The prompt:

“A Frozen-movie style 3D render of a gold fish looking at me in a blue pond and smiling.”
