When you go to the Text to image page, you’ll see a bunch of AI image creations by other people who have submitted their work to Adobe Firefly. You can hover over any of these images to see the prompt used to create it. This will give you some inspiration before you start creating your own.

To create custom images, simply enter a sentence or a piece of text to describe the image you want to create, and Firefly will generate an image that matches your requirements.

Example: gorgeous wolf statue with gold filigree

In addition, Firefly also allows you to add and replace objects and backgrounds with the Generative Fill tool. Hover over the image you want to edit and click the Generative Fill icon in the top left corner.

Generative Fill

First, you click “Upload image” to upload the image

How to add/change details in the picture

Step 1: Once the selected image is loaded inside Adobe Firefly, you can click the “Insert” tab on the left – where you can add or replace objects in an image.

At this point, your cursor has been replaced with a circle. This circle serves as the brush that you use to select parts of the image to which you want to add objects or replace existing details.

For example in the picture, to change the phone details, select “Add” and then fill in the object

If you paint “overhand”, smeared over other details, then click “Subtract” and then fill in the smudged parts.

Step 2: Enter a description in the text box > Generate

Example: “a small potted plant placed on the desk” to change the phone into a potted plant

Then the system will give you 4 options, choose which one you like and then press “Keep”

If you don’t like one, click “More” to let Adobe Firefly create a new image.

And the result is as shown (left of original image, right after editing):

How to change the background for the image

Step 1: Click on the tab “Insert” > Background

At this point, Adobe Firefly will automatically delete the part of the image that it considers the background.

If the separation system is lacking or redundant, you can click “Add” or “Subtract” to customize the background area in the image.

Step 2: Type a description of the wallpaper you like > Generate

Example: The lamp and telephone are placed on a wooden table in front of a pastel yellow wall.

And the result looks like this:

Remove details in the picture

Step 1: You select the “Remove” tab > Select “Add”

Step 2: Fill in the detail you want to delete

Step 3: Select “Remove” to proceed with removing the object

Step 4: If you are satisfied with the results, click “Keep”

How to download pictures to your computer

After editing is complete, to download the image to your computer, follow these steps:

Step 1: Click on the “Download” button in the upper right corner of the screen
