What is DALL-E 2 and Stable Diffusion (flying dog)?
DALL-E 2 and Stable Diffusion (flying dog) is an AI image upscaler tool. A Photoshop plugin that puts Stable Diffusion and DALL-E 2 generation on layers, with inpainting, outpainting, ControlNet, text layers, 3D guidance, upscalers and background removal. Built for designers who want AI inside their existing editing workflow.
This Photoshop plugin from flying dog connects Adobe's editor to four separate AI image backends: Gyre, DALL-E 2, Automatic1111 and StabilityAI Cloud. Instead of working in a browser front end, users generate, edit and composite images directly on Photoshop layers, which means the full toolset (selections, masks, groups, blend modes) stays available throughout the process. The plugin covers text to image, image to image, inpainting and outpainting, and it adds specialised layers for AI text rendering, 3D primitives, pose and scribble guidance, segmentation, background removal, upscaling and vectorisation. ControlNet and T2I Coadapter types can be attached to an image layer, so composition and style can be locked down before a generation runs. In practice the plugin is aimed at designers and retouchers who already earn a living in Photoshop and want AI to shorten repetitive steps: replacing a stock image search with a prompt, extending a canvas with outpainting instead of content-aware fill, or repairing hands and faces produced by another generator. Gyre is the recommended server because it is the only connector that supports outpainting well, AI text generation, background removal and upscalers, and it can run locally on an NVIDIA GPU or on RunPod with no local hardware, which makes it usable on a Mac. DALL-E 2 is the simplest route for Mac users who do not want to manage a server, though it lacks image to image and ControlNet. Automatic1111 suits tinkerers who want community models but delivers weaker outpainting, and StabilityAI Cloud is limited to basic generation. The purchase is made through Adobe's marketplace rather than flying dog directly, so refunds follow Adobe's terms. The plugin requires Photoshop 24.3 or later. Local server installations need an NVIDIA card (6 GB recommended, more for images above 512x512), and Mac users must either use RunPod or DALL-E 2. Among alternatives, it competes less with standalone generators like Midjourney and more with Photoshop's own generative features and with web UIs for Stable Diffusion; its argument is control and layer-based workflow rather than raw model novelty.
How do you use DALL-E 2 and Stable Diffusion (flying dog)?
1Buy and install the plugin from Adobe Exchange
Purchase the plugin through the Adobe Exchange listing and install it into Photoshop. The plugin requires Photoshop version 24.3 or higher.2Choose an AI connector
Pick Gyre, DALL-E 2, Automatic1111 or StabilityAI Cloud in the plugin settings. Gyre is recommended for outpainting, text layers and upscalers; DALL-E 2 needs no server and works on Mac.3Start a server if you chose Gyre or Automatic1111
For Gyre, either run the one click installer on a Windows or Linux PC with an NVIDIA GPU, or launch the Gyre bundle on RunPod. No local installation is needed for the RunPod route.4Generate a first image on a layer
Create an empty layer, enter a prompt and run text to image. The result appears as a layer that can be masked, grouped or further edited like any Photoshop content.5Extend or repair with inpainting and outpainting
Change the canvas size and use outpainting to let the AI fill new space, or select an area and run inpainting to replace specific content without leaving the document.6Add guidance and finish with upscalers
Attach ControlNet, pose or scribble layers to steer composition, then run one of the Gyre upscalers or the vectorizer to raise resolution or convert a result to SVG.
Pros and cons
Pros
- Works directly on Photoshop layers, so selections, masks and groups remain available during generationAI
- Four server connectors cover local, cloud and DALL-E 2 setups, including Mac users via RunPodAI
- Outpainting, AI text layers and 3D pose guidance are features rarely combined in one pluginAI
- Gyre on RunPod removes the need for local NVIDIA hardware and starts at 0.29 dollars per hourAI
- Optional content filter, unlike most hosted AI image servicesAI
Cons
- No native Mac support for local server installation; Mac users must rely on RunPod or DALL-E 2AI
- DALL-E 2 connector cannot do image to image, ControlNet or outpainting at the same qualityAI
- Automatic1111 support is community only and lacks API support for upscalers and batch cancellationAI
- Refunds go through Adobe's marketplace terms, not flying dog, which adds friction to purchase problemsAI
- Requires Photoshop 24.3 or newer and, for local work, a recent NVIDIA card; older GPUs break the editing rhythmAI
