🎨 How to generate stunning images with Firefly

While Midjourney and DALL-E 3 get all the attention, Adobe’s latest upgrade to its Firefly platform packs a serious punch.

Try some of the new features out by following the steps below:

Step 1: Log in to Firefly and select Text to Image.

Step 2: Choose your prompt. Type the image you’d like to create into the text box at the bottom of the screen and click ‘generate.’

Step 3: Modify and iterate. Firefly will generate four outputs — and a sidebar will now appear on the right, allowing for modifications. The model version selected should be Firefly Image 2 (beta).

From here, change details (ratio, content type, color, and lighting), effects, or even upload a reference image to match the exact style you’re looking for.

Firefly’s variety of pre-loaded options gives a lot more control to the average user — without the need for serious prompting knowledge. Try it out!
