A multi-model alternative to Adobe Firefly, built into Photoshop
Choose your AI model, keep your color profile, and get results as real layers. Seam brings Nano Banana, GPT-Image-2, FLUX.2, Reve, Seedream and Imagen into Photoshop under one account.
Why look beyond a single model
Choose your model
Nano Banana (Pro, 2, 2 Lite), Imagen 4 Ultra, GPT-Image-2, Reve and Reve 2.1, the FLUX.2 family, and Seedream 5.0 — all from one dropdown, one account.
Real layers, not just fill
Every result arrives as a normal Photoshop layer — a Smart Object by default, masked to your active selection — so nothing is flattened and every step stays editable.
Color-space fidelity
Seam converts each result into your document's color profile (sRGB, Adobe RGB, ProPhoto, or Display P3), so colors hold up for print and professional work.
Layer provenance
Every generated layer remembers the model, prompt, seed, and settings that made it — reload the exact setup months later.
Seam vs. the native Firefly workflow
| Seam | Adobe Firefly (native) | |
|---|---|---|
| Model choice | Multiple models under one account: Nano Banana, GPT-Image-2, FLUX.2, Reve, Seedream, Imagen. | Adobe's own Firefly model, plus selected third-party partner models offered inside Generative Fill. |
| How results arrive | As normal Photoshop layers (Smart Object by default), masked to your selection. | Through Adobe's Firefly / Generative Fill workflows in Photoshop. |
| Color management | Output converted into your document's ICC profile (sRGB, Adobe RGB, ProPhoto, Display P3). | Handled within Adobe's own pipeline. |
| Provenance | Model, prompt, seed, and settings stored on every generated layer. | Not a documented per-layer feature. |
| Billing options | Lifetime license (available now) runs on your own API keys; Solo and Studio credit subscriptions coming soon. | Included with an Adobe subscription; third-party models may use additional generative credits. |

FAQ
Is Seam an alternative to Adobe Firefly?
Seam is a Photoshop plugin that adds AI image generation, editing, and upscaling as a panel, letting you choose from multiple third-party models (Nano Banana, GPT-Image-2, FLUX.2, Reve, Seedream, Imagen) under one account. If you want model choice and results as real layers inside Photoshop, it is a practical alternative to relying only on Adobe's Firefly workflow.
Can I use Nano Banana or FLUX instead of Firefly in Photoshop?
Yes. Seam lets you pick Google's Nano Banana, the FLUX.2 family, OpenAI's GPT-Image-2, and others from one dropdown, and returns the result as a normal Photoshop layer masked to your selection.
Does Seam replace Generative Fill?
Seam is a separate panel rather than a replacement for any built-in tool. It generates, edits, and upscales with your chosen model and places results as real, non-destructive layers, so you can use it alongside Photoshop's own tools.
Do I still need Photoshop to use Seam?
Yes. Seam is a plugin for Adobe Photoshop version 27.0 or newer (Windows and macOS); it runs inside Photoshop rather than as a standalone app.
