How to repair photographs with Firefly.

In just a few steps, you can easily breathe new life into old or damaged photos using simple text prompts and Firefly image generation tools.

  1. Open the AI image generator in Firefly.
    To get started, log in to Adobe Firefly with your Adobe ID or create a free account if you don’t have one. Then choose the Generate Image feature to perform old picture restoration.
  2. Upload an image and write a text prompt to start AI photo repair.
    In the prompt field, type a clear description of how you’d like your old photo enhanced. Start with at least five words for the best results, such as “erase the scratches and spots in this photo” or “bring the color back to this faded picture.”
  3. Generate your AI image.
    Click Generate and wait a few seconds for the AI photo restoration to happen.
  4. Refine, edit, and regenerate.
    Firefly is a powerful old photo enhancer, but even if you’re happy with your results you may want to see more variations. You can refine your image by tweaking your prompt or adjusting the Firefly settings for a fresh result.
  5. Download and share your restored photo.
    Once you’re happy with the result, you can download it, copy it to your clipboard, share it on social media, or create a high-quality print suitable for framing.
