How to Use Gemini 3’s Nano Banana Pro Image Model in Photoshop and Firefly

Adobe has added Google’s Gemini 3-powered Nano Banana Pro model to Photoshop and Firefly, giving creators another AI option for image generation and prompt-based editing. If you’re already using Adobe’s tools, you don’t need to install anything new or sign up for an external service. The model sits directly inside apps you’re familiar with.

Here’s a simple, step-by-step look at how you can start using it.

How To Access Nano Banana Pro In Adobe Firefly

Start by opening the Firefly web app through your Adobe account. Once inside, head to the Text to Image section.

Look for the model selector, usually placed near the prompt box. From here, choose Nano Banana Pro from the list of available models. If you’re on a Creative Cloud Pro or Firefly plan, you’ll be able to use it without extra charges during the current unlimited generation window.

Firefly also lets you upload up to six reference images. Add these if you want the AI to base its output on specific visual elements. Then type your prompt and adjust settings like style and composition before generating the image.

How To Use Nano Banana Pro In Firefly Boards

Firefly Boards is Adobe’s collaborative space for brainstorming and visual planning. Once you open a board, you can select Nano Banana Pro as your image generation model.

This is useful if you’re building campaign concepts or exploring early-stage visual ideas. You can upload images, text or icons, then prompt the model to place them into realistic contexts, like mock billboards or staged environments. It’s a more visual way to test ideas before moving into detailed design work.

How To Apply It In Photoshop With Generative Fill

In Photoshop, Nano Banana Pro powers the Generative Fill tool. To use it, open your image and select an area using a lasso or selection tool. Then click on Generative Fill and enter a text prompt describing the change you want to see.

You can use it to adjust lighting, change backgrounds, add new elements or refine specific details. The model can also generate high-resolution outputs, up to 4K, which is helpful when working on larger compositions or print-ready visuals.

Once the AI suggestion is created, you can continue fine-tuning it using standard Photoshop controls like layers, masks and selections.

How To Get Unlimited Image Generations Until December 1

If you’re subscribed to Creative Cloud Pro or a Firefly plan, Adobe is currently offering unlimited image generations with Firefly image models and supported partner models, including Nano Banana Pro.

There’s no extra activation required. Just sign in with your eligible account and start generating images. After December 1, usage limits will depend on your subscription tier.

What Makes Nano Banana Pro Different

This model is designed to handle more refined edits. It allows prompt-based control over lighting changes, perspective shifts, text integration and style variations. Adobe has positioned it as more of a precision tool rather than a one-click creative shortcut.

For users, the main advantage is choice. You can now switch between different AI models depending on the kind of output you want, all without leaving Adobe’s ecosystem.
