Using Adobe Firefly, let's quickly generate some stunning images.
My name is Brian Wood.
I'm a content strategist for the Adobe MAX Creativity Conference.
I'm working on a design for a book launch, and I'm trying to get my creative juices flowing here.
On the Firefly website, I'm going to select Image, and then choose Text to image.
Firefly is constantly evolving, and what you see might look slightly different than what I see.
I'll start by adding a descriptive Prompt, so I can get a book cover scene.
Once I get the first variations, did you notice how quickly that happened?
With Fast mode enabled, you can see it right here, you can ideate really quickly with low-res imagery, and you can always upscale them later if you want to use them somewhere else.
Now I'll change the Prompt a bit to be more descriptive.
I sometimes lean into the generated Prompts suggestions, like you see here, and sometimes they help to get somewhere I didn't even think about.
At this point, most of us realize that writing Prompts is pretty much an art form.
If you could use some guidance on the best practices for getting the most out of your Prompts, Adobe has put together excellent resources for best practices when you write them.
We can keep exploring.
We've got tons of different things, like Effects we can apply, we could change the color or the tone, add a Reference image.
There're tons of things we could do here to mold what we want.
If you keep trying things and trying things and you get down a path that you're not super happy with, you can actually go back in time.
That's where Generation history can be a total lifesaver.
You can return to develop another approach you worked on in a previous session.
Let me get back to what we were working on.
You can go back to a previous exploration and even continue from there.
I've settled on this one.
In order to use it, maybe to bring it to another program, like Photoshop, it can be upscaled to a bigger size.
Looking at this image, it's got to go in my book cover.
I want to make a small change to it.
I need to add a little more image area for copy maybe.
Staying in Firefly, I can get it done really quickly by choosing Generative fill.
Once over in Generative fill with Expand selected, I can crop the image, kind of like I would in Photoshop, I can Generate, and Generate again if I want to try more, and then I choose which one I want.
Now I can download this final to use in desktop Photoshop, or I can quickly take it over to Photoshop on the web.
I'll click Open in Photoshop web here.
That way in Photoshop on the web, I can start adding some finishing elements, and our book launch image is pretty much ready to go.
Now that you've seen how easy and fun this can be, why don't you try?
Start with a simple Prompt and craft your own fantasy book cover design.
