Firefly AI Support for Photoshop

The local model support package that lights up the generative panels inside Photoshop, with the full weight set unpacked on disk so the fill, expand and reference tools answer without a service check in front of them.

Overview

This is the support package that sits underneath the generative panels in Photoshop rather than an application in its own right. Installed correctly it drops the model weights, the inference runtime and the panel bindings into the place the editor looks for them, and the greyed out generative controls come back to life on the next launch.

The generative family covered here is the image model set: prompt directed fill inside a selection, canvas expansion with matching light and grain, reference guided generation that carries a subject across plates, text effects that render into a live layer, and the vector recolour path used by the sibling drawing application. Each panel writes to a new layer with an editable mask, so nothing is ever baked into the plate underneath.

The reason people install the support package separately is control. The editor normally streams model updates on its own schedule, which changes output between sessions on the same file. With the weights pinned locally the results stay reproducible, and a retouch started one week finishes the next looking the same.

Everything runs on the machine. There is no queue, no per-generation counter and no upload of the source layer, which is the practical argument for keeping this on a workstation that handles client material under an agreement about where the files are allowed to sit.

What it does well

Generative fill and expand

Select an area, type a short direction, and the model paints it at the layer's own resolution with an editable mask. Expand pushes past the canvas edge and fills the new margin so reframes stop costing a clone stamp session.

Reference guided generation

Feed a reference layer and the model carries subject, palette and material across a new plate, which is what keeps a product or a face consistent through a set of variations.

Generative text and patterns

Type treatments and seamless pattern fills render straight into a live layer with a strength control, so a background can be regenerated without leaving the document.

Pinned weights

The weight set stays exactly as installed rather than rolling forward, which keeps output reproducible across a long retouching job.

Local inference runtime

The runtime targets current consumer GPUs and falls back to CPU on older hardware, slower but functional, with a queue depth setting to keep the editor responsive.

Changes in this build

  • Weight set refreshed for the current editor cycle, including the reference guided head.
  • Inference runtime rebuilt so mid-range cards with 8 GB VRAM stop falling back to CPU.
  • Panel bindings repaired for installs that live outside the default program folder.
  • Added a strength and seed control to the fill panel so a result can be reproduced exactly.
  • Reduced unpack time by splitting the weight archive across parallel streams.

System requirements

ProcessorIntel or AMD 64-bit with AVX2, 8 cores recommended
Memory16 GB minimum, 32 GB for large layered documents
GraphicsGPU with 8 GB VRAM, 12 GB for full resolution fills

SystemWindows 10 22H2 or Windows 11, 64-bit only

Installation

  1. Install the host editor first and launch it once so the plug-in folders exist.
  2. Extract this archive to a local drive with 24 GB free.
  3. Close the editor and every background process belonging to it.
  4. Run the support installer and point it at the editor install folder.
  5. Wait for the weight unpack to finish, then launch the editor and check the generative panel.

Before you start

This is not a standalone application. Without the host editor installed there is nothing to attach to.

Letting the editor update itself can move the plug-in folder and orphan the bindings. Rerun the support installer if the panels grey out.

The weight cache cannot sit on a network share, the runtime memory maps it and will fail to start.

Questions about this title

Does this replace the editor?

No. It attaches to an existing install and enables the generative panels inside it.

Is a connection needed?

No, inference runs locally against the bundled weights.

Why is the download so large?

Almost all of it is model weights. The runtime and bindings are a few hundred megabytes.

Will output resolution be limited?

Fills render at the layer resolution rather than a fixed preview tile.

About this listing

This entry was checked on a clean install of Windows 10 / 11 (64-bit) before it was published, and it is rechecked whenever the package is rebuilt. The figures on this page come from the site index rather than from the publisher, so the download count is what people here have actually pulled.

If a mirror stops answering, use the contact form and it gets replaced. Reports about a specific title are handled faster than general messages because they name the file, the mirror and the point at which the transfer stopped.

Requests for a different version, a different language build or an older release go on the requests page. Older versions of a title are usually still held even when only the current one is listed.
