Nano Banana vs Nano Banana Pro | Recreating Old Photos in Adobe Firefly

Описание: Ever looked back at old photos and thought, I’d love to re-capture that moment, but in a more creative way?

In this video, I take a few old snowboarding photos and use Adobe Firefly to explore different creative directions using partner AI models like Nano Banana (Gemini 2.5) and Nano Banana Pro (Gemini 3). Also, how to create a video from them using Veo3.

I start in Firefly Boards, adding reference images and experimenting with prompts as I go. I’m not using one fixed prompt on purpose. I tweak things along the way to see how each model interprets the same idea differently, from illustrated styles to more photorealistic results. That variation is kind of the whole point.

You’ll see how switching models changes lighting, depth of field, and overall vibe, and why I like using different partner models depending on what I’m trying to achieve. I also turn one of the images into a short video, which is really useful when you don’t have original footage but still want motion.

Towards the end, I step outside of Firefly Boards and use Generate Image and Edit Image to have a bit more fun, including changing textures and details, and I briefly show how partner models are also available inside Photoshop.

This video is sponsored by Adobe Firefly, but everything you see here is genuinely how I use it to explore ideas and bring old moments back in a new way.
