Want to know how to quickly come up with new ideas to shape your text in a creative way?
With Adobe Firefly's Structure and Style Reference features the creative possibilities are endless.
My name is Rob de Winter, and in the next few minutes, I'll show you how to import a reference image of a text and control the outlines, edges, and style of your generated images.
First, go to the Adobe Firefly website on www.firefly.adobe.com, then click on the Text to image module, enter a prompt ice cube lettering in the snow, night setting with bright northern lights sky.
Then click Generate.
Adobe Firefly will give you four variations based on your prompt.
Now let's generate four new variations based on the structure of our reference image and the style of an image from the Style Reference gallery.
First set Aspect ratio to Widescreen.
Then set Content type to Photo.
Navigate to the Structure option and upload the image of your text.
I created this image in Adobe Illustrator and saved it as a JPEG, but of course you can use any app to create an image like this.
Let's now drag this image into the Reference Structure box.
You can use the Strength slider to adjust the degree of similarity to the reference image.
In this case, it's best to drag the Strength slider all the way to the right for the greatest possible resemblance.
Now let's click Generate first.
As you can see, Firefly uses the text from the Structure Reference image, but it's not exactly what we wanted to generate.
This is also partially because the prompt we used is quite short, but using a style reference image makes it a lot easier to get the desired end result.
So let's now add this style reference image.
It's an image of an ice cube in the snow with a beautiful northern light sky behind it.
I created this image in Firefly and made some edits in Photoshop.
If you upload an image like this as a style reference, Firefly will most likely use the ice cube as a material for the text because the ice cube is centered in the image.
The snow, skies, and trees will be used, most likely for the rest of the image.
Now navigate to the Styles option and drag your image in the Style Reference box.
If you don't have a style reference image, you can also choose an image from the image gallery.
Drag the Strength slider all the way to the right for the greatest possible resemblance.
Click Generate to generate four new variations.
All the variations are now based on the Structure and the Style options.
The Structure option designs the overall layout and organization like building blocks or a wireframe, and the Style options control the visual appearance of those elements.
If you use the Structure and Style components together, you can better guide your results.
The results look really great.
You can now pick one or more variations you like most and download them.
Now we have explored the Structure Reference and Style Reference features on a text image, I encourage you to experiment on your own images.
Again, my name is Rob de Winter and I hope to see you in the next video.
