What is Adobe Firefly and How Does It Work?

For the past few months, we have been hearing more than ever about the concept of "artificial intelligence." A new computer revolution that is undoubtedly changing our daily lives and the future. But to what extent, we still don't know. We are learning to live with it, to test it, to be amazed, and to ask ourselves many questions about the role it will play in our professions. Artificial intelligences are emerging more and more in the market. We have seen them for generating text and also for creating images out of nothing. In this article, we will explore image generator, Adobe Firefly. Let’s take a look:

What Is Adobe Firefly?

Firefly is an artificial intelligence system for generating images from scratch that has been created by Adobe. This means that it will be integrated into Adobe's tools and will coexist with Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, as well as the rest of the Adore suite. However, it will also be accessed as an independent website, following access being granted by Adobe.

It works like the rest of the artificial intelligence systems: it has been trained to generate images based on the description of what you want to see. The result will depend on the accuracy of this description, although in the case of Firefly, there's more, much more.

What Does Adobe Firefly Do?

As we mentioned, Firefly generates images from text. Simply describe what you want to see as accurately as possible, and you'll get your image as if by magic. But it doesn't just respond if you send it text; it also responds with a sketch or with one or several reference images.

What else? Here comes the best part and what sets it apart from other artificial intelligences: you can interact with the options of Adobe's tools to edit the image you have received. You can ask for the image you need and then continue adding content to this image you are editing, as Firefly understands the context you are working on.

More? Yes! Among the options it offers, you can apply effects to text generated with an image. You can also select specific areas of your image and modify only that part, generate brushes, add color to your sketches, create 3D images, videos, and many other options they are working on. We're going to have a great time!

Above all, what is interesting about Firefly is that it will be integrated among Adobe's main tools. So the difference is that you will be able to access Adobe's tools and from there, you can request from Firefly what you need and then continue interacting.

How To Use Adobe Firefly?

To use Adobe Firefly, you only need to have an Adobe account and request access through their website, although soon we will see it integrated among Adobe's main tools. At the moment, there is a high demand to test the Beta version, and access is not immediate. So be patient, as there is a waiting list to try this artificial intelligence.

Conclusion

Adobe Firefly is a versatile tool. On one hand, you can use it with the options of basic artificial intelligence, and on the other hand, you can obtain more advanced options by understanding the context you are requesting and interacting with the image you have obtained as a result.

Adobe Firefly is a versatile tool. On the one hand, you can use it with the options of a basic artificial intelligence. And, on the other, you can obtain more advanced options as the system understands in more detail what you are trying to do and allows you to interact with the image to achieve your result.

Certainly, all artificial intelligences will refine their options and improve their versions. In the meantime, Adobe Firefly could be considered one of the most advanced machine learning tools on the market.
