Adobe Brings Firefly To The Enterprise

Adobe today announced that it is bringing its Firefly generative image generator to its enterprise customers and allowing them to customize the model with their own branded assets.
In conjunction with this, the company is also bringing its Adobe Express design app to enterprise users, who will be able to access Firefly from there as well.
The announcement comes only two weeks after Adobe also integrated Firefly into Photoshop (where it has now been used over 150 million times).

A painting in the National Portrait Gallery has gained attention after a mother and daughter couldn't help but notice what appears to be modern-day footwear in the image - Nike trainers, to be exact.

A ‘Black Out’ performance is a special performance that is “arranged for Black audience members specifically”, and while “no one is excluded from attending”, non-Black individuals are asked to “consider attending another performance”.
The idea is to create an environment “in which an all-Black-identifying audience can experience and discuss an event in the performing arts, film, athletic and cultural spaces – free from the white gaze”.

AI image generator Midjourney has halted free trials of its service after a number of its generations — including fabricated images of Donald Trump being arrested and the pope wearing a stylish jacket — went viral online, with many mistaking the fakes for real photographs.
Midjourney CEO and founder David Holz announced the change on Tuesday, citing “extraordinary demand and trial abuse”.

A rediscovered painting of Flemish 17th-century painter Pieter Brueghel the Younger will be presented for auction in Paris on Tuesday and is expected to fetch 600,000 to 800,000 euros.
The painting L'Avocat du village (the Village Lawyer) is one of Brueghel's largest known works, and was unknown in the art world as the most recent generation of the family who had possessed it since the 1900s thought it was fake.
