[Glyn Dewis]: Inside this wedding photograph there's a second picture waiting to be made.
A portrait of just the bride and her mum.
No reshoot, no Photoshop.
With Edit in Firefly we can create it from Lightroom with a simple text prompt.
Hi, I'm Glyn Dewis, and in the next couple of minutes I'm going to show you how to send a photo from Lightroom to Adobe Firefly and create a brand new portrait from a photograph you already have.
Prepare the photo in Lightroom
So here's the image and I want a portrait of just the bride and her mum centered in the frame which means removing the man on the right and reducing that strong lens flare.
Now you could, of course, do this in Photoshop but perhaps you don't know Photoshop very well and are unsure of the best way to go about it.
That's where the Edit in Firefly option comes in real handy.
Send the photo from Lightroom to Firefly
First a little preparation.
With the Crop tool I'll crop to a 3x4 aspect ratio removing most of the unwanted area in one go.
I'll right-click the photo and choose Generate in Firefly.
Then Edit photo.
The same option is under the Photo menu and it works with a single image selected.
Firefly opens up with our photo loaded.
Select an AI model and output resolution
So from the model picker, I'll choose Gemini 3.1, known as Nano Banana 2.
There are of course other models here as well.
And I'll set the output to 4K.
And you can see how many Generative Credits this feature will use right here.
That number will vary depending on which AI model you choose and on the resolution you're generating at.
Generative Credits are included in your Adobe plan and to see how many you have and when they reset, just click on your Adobe ID icon in the upper right.
Write a prompt to describe the edit
Now for the prompt.
I'm telling Firefly who to remove, to remove the bright sun flare, and to not change anything about the two women, including their pose, facial features and clothing.
And this last line matters.
"Leave the two women and the image framing completely unchanged."
Generate & download the final image
So I'll click Generate and Firefly creates a single new image rather than a set of variations.
And look, a lovely portrait of the bride and her mum.
The man is gone and the background has been rebuilt as though he was never there.
The sun flare also has gone.
And so when you're happy you can download the final image from right here.
So that's Edit in Firefly from Lightroom.
A quick crop, a well-written prompt and a brand new portrait from a photograph you already had.
Now it's your turn.
Give it a try on one of your own photos and see what you can create.
Enjoy.
