Nano Banana: Gemini, Photoshop, 3D Trend
Google's image model 'Nano Banana' is integrated in Photoshop (Beta). This enables creatives to switch directly in Photoshop between various AI models such as Google's Gemini 2.5 Flash Image (Nano Banana), Adobe's Firefly, and Black Forest Labs' FLUX.1 Context [pro] to switch. This development affects the creative workflow by offering new options for image generation and editing.

Introduction
"Nano Banana" is the unofficial nickname of Gemini 2.5 Flash Image,, a Google model for image generation and precise, prompt-based image editing. This includes features such as local removal/replacement, style changes and multi-image fusion. Adobe's "Generative Fill" in Photoshop is an AI-powered selection and fill function that adds, replaces or expands content via text prompts (Adobe Hilfe). In the current Photoshop beta, the underlying model can be switched directly in the UI, including to "Gemini 2.5 (Nano Banana)" or "FLUX.1 Context [pro]" from Black Forest Labs (Adobe Hilfe). FLUX.1 Context is an editing/in-context model for targeted local changes and consistent iterations (bfl.ai).
Current status
Adobe has enabled partner models in Photoshop (Beta). In Generative Fill you can switch between Gemini 2.5 (Nano Banana) and FLUX.1 Kontext [pro] be switched (Adobe Blog, Adobe Hilfe). Google describes Gemini 2.5 Flash Image officially as "aka nano-banana", available via the Gemini API, Google AI Studio and Vertex AI. All generated/edited images carry an invisible SynthID-Wasserzeichen (Google Developers Blog). As a performance marker Google's Josh Woodward publicly stated ">5 billion images in less than a month" for the Gemini app (X-Posting); Sundar Pichai reacted with his own Nano-Banana image (Times of India). Tech media document the Photoshop integration along with the model choice in the interface (TechRadar, PetaPixel).

The 'Nano Banana' AI enables the transformation of objects into unexpected shapes, such as this surreal banana that has morphed into a metallic beetle.
Analysis & Context
For Adobe, opening up to partner models creates a pragmatic middle ground: Firefly remains core (with commercial protection), but creatives get comparison and specialization directly in Photoshop – without tool switching (Adobe Blog, Adobe Business). For Google, presence in the leading image editing tool is a shortcut into professional workflows – plus visibility for SynthID as watermarking technology (Google Blog). Media-wise, the easy model switch (Nano Banana vs. Firefly vs. FLUX) drives a flood of tutorials and side-by-side comparisons, accelerating adoption (Adobe Hilfe, TechRadar).

The 'Image Edit Arena' ranking positions 'Gemini-2.5-flash-image' as a leading tool in AI-powered image editing, underscoring the capabilities of Nano Banana.
Practical Implications
For you this means: You can test image ideas and edits in Photoshop concretely against each other – Firefly for legally secured standard workflows and Content Credentials, , Nano Banana for fast, detail-preserving edits from the Google ecosystem, FLUX.1 Context for iterative, local changes (Adobe Business, bfl.ai). When using professionally, always check rights and watermarks: Firefly advertises commercial safety and (depending on plan) IP indemnity (Adobe Legal), , while for Google outputs the respective terms of use apply (Adobe Legal). Content Credentials and SynthID increase transparency, but are not a substitute for rights clearance. Practically start: install Photoshop Beta and switch the model in the Generative Fill panel (Adobe Hilfe, Adobe Hilfe).

The '3D Figure Image Trend' enables the transformation of 2D images into detailed 3D models, as shown here with a Steve Jobs figure.
Outlook & Conclusion
The Photoshop Beta takes choice seriously: You can select Nano Banana, Firefly or FLUX directly in Generative Fill – depending on the task and the quality requirement (Adobe Hilfe). For professional use two things matter: transparency and rights. Set Content Credentials, , know the model and license terms and test the results in your target workflow. This way you benefit from the creative pace of the new models, without nasty surprises. (Google Developers Blog, Adobe Business).
