WHAT THEY DID

Natalie Brown uses Generative Recolor in Illustrator to apply several palettes to one piece at once for licensing clients who want color choices, and Generative Expand in Photoshop to turn square flat-lays into vertical images for social promotion.

HOW IT WENT

She says recoloring that took hours now takes far less and she can serve more clients; no figures.

WORTH KNOWING

Adobe’s profile, from 2023, discusses no limitations. Recolor options still need checking for print and contrast.
