Creative Cloud products now include powerful new features using generative AI to enhance and create images, video, audio, and more.
Adobe plans include Generative Credits, giving you access to these new features and tools.
Hi, I'm Seán Duggan with the Adobe Learn team.
Let's look at how you can use Generative Credits, the difference between standard and premium generative features, and how to keep track of how many credits you've used.
There are many AI features in Adobe applications that can assist you with common tasks, like creating selections or removing backgrounds.
Features like these that use AI in an assistive way don't use Generative Credits.
Generative AI allows you to create new content.
It can extend photo boundaries, generate entire images, or transform a sketch into a video.
The Generative fill tool in Photoshop is a good example of a generative AI feature.
The high-quality output from generative AI is processed in the cloud, and it requires a lot of computing power, and that's what Generative Credits are for.
Generative Credits are like tokens at an arcade.
The pinball machine might use one token, but the adventure game that uses a virtual reality headset might use multiple tokens.
There are two types of generative AI features - standard and premium.
Think of the standard features as pinball machines and the premium features as virtual reality games.
Most standard generative AI features, such as Generative fill in Photoshop or Text to vector in Illustrator, will use one credit per generation, and many features create three variations to choose from.
With some plans, you have unlimited access to these standard generative features.
Premium generative AI features, which generate outputs like video, audio, or translations, will cost additional credits because they require much more computing power.
In Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, and Premiere, click the Home icon in the upper left corner to go to the Home screen for the app.
Then click your Adobe ID icon in the upper right corner to check how many Generative Credits are available.
You can also see your Generative Credits by clicking your Adobe ID icon on the Firefly website, or on your Account Overview page at www.adobe.com.
Your Generative Credit count will reset each month based on your plan's monthly reset date.
Unused Generative Credits don't roll over into the next month.
If you need additional credits, you can upgrade your plan or purchase an additional Firefly plan directly in the app or from your Account Overview page on www.adobe.com.
Now you know the essentials of Generative Credits.
If you haven't explored our generative features yet, give them a try and see what new creative paths you can discover.
