How to use Adobe Firefly’s Generative AI Magic
Hey there, welcome to Teacher's Tech! My name is Jamie, and I'm excited to have you here today. We're going to have some fun exploring Adobe Firefly's generative AI. They recently made some upgrades to their AI, and now you can create amazing images just by typing in a short text. I love how easy it is to use and how you can make aspect ratio changes and generative fills. You can even create fancy text that you can download. The best part? You can do all of this for free by creating an Adobe account. I'll show you how to do it step-by-step, so let's get started!
Creating an Adobe Account
To begin, click on the link I've provided in the description below to access the Adobe Firefly page. Once you're on the page, you can sign up for a free account or sign in if you already have one. Simply click on the "Sign In" button located at the top right-hand corner of the page. If you don't have an account, you can easily create a new one and sign in with the credentials of your choice. For this demonstration, I'll be using a free account.
Now that we're logged in, let me mention that if you ever want to upgrade your account, just click on the "Upgrade" button to explore different price options. With the free account, you'll get 25 monthly generative credits, which is important to note as you create your fantastic images.
Text to Image
Let's dive into the three main features: Text to Image, Generative Fill, and Text Effects. Starting with Text to Image, as you scroll through the page, you'll see a wide array of amazing examples that have already been created. The beauty of this feature is that you can hover over these examples to see the text prompts that were used to generate the image. To get started, simply type in your own prompt and hit generate. However, I recommend exploring the existing examples first to get some inspiration.
For instance, if you click on one of the examples, you'll be presented with various options to customize the image. You can choose the model version, experiment with different aspect ratios, change from a photo to art style, adjust the strength of the style, and even upload your own image to match the style. Play around with these features to create the perfect image.
Let's try it out together. Instead of a dog, let's imagine an amazing photograph of a cat chasing a tennis ball. By changing the prompt and generating the image, you'll see the magic happen right before your eyes. You can even get specific and choose different objects, like a baseball instead of a tennis ball. Keep experimenting until you're satisfied or until you find an image that you really like. If you come across one you love, make sure to mark it as a favorite to easily access it later.
Once you have the image you want, you can download it, copy the link, copy the image, or even edit it in Adobe Express. Adobe Firefly makes it simple to save and share your creations.
Generative Fill
Next, let's explore the Generative Fill feature. This is where the real fun begins. You can click on any of the samples provided, or if you prefer, you can upload your own image. I'll show you how to do both.
When you click on a sample, you can start playing around with the image right away. There are three main tools at your disposal: insert, remove, and pan. Insert allows you to add elements to the image, remove allows you to erase unwanted objects, and pan allows you to move the image around if needed.
Let's say you want to add sunglasses to a person in the image. Simply use the insert tool and mark the area where you want the sunglasses to be placed. Then, type in the prompt "sunglasses" and generate the results. You'll be presented with different options to choose from. Select the one that suits your vision the best and keep creating!
Similarly, if you want to remove an object from the image, you can use the remove tool to mark the area you want to erase. Adobe Firefly will generate multiple options for filling in the missing space. You can choose the one that looks best to you. It's fascinating to see how the AI fills in the gaps and adjusts the surrounding elements.
Don't be afraid to get creative and experiment with different images and prompts. You can upload any image from your computer and utilize the generative fill tools to enhance or modify it. The possibilities are truly endless!
Text Effects
Lastly, let's take a look at the Text Effects feature. This works similarly to the Text to Image feature, but instead of generating an image, it creates text designs. You can choose from various samples based on different prompts and customize the text according to your preferences.
Start by entering a text prompt, such as "hello," and then specify the style you want, like "white tiger." Once you hit generate, you'll be presented with different design options. You can experiment with different fonts, shapes, and even background colors. Play around until you find the perfect combination.
If you're satisfied with the text design you've created, you can save it to your favorites or download it to use in your projects. Adobe Firefly makes it easy to generate eye-catching text effects in just a few clicks.
That wraps up our walkthrough of Adobe Firefly's generative AI features. I hope you had as much fun exploring it as I did. Remember, you can start using Adobe Firefly for free by creating an account. Give it a try, and let me know what you think!
