Turn Photoshop work into moodboards in seconds with Firefly Boards

Moodboarding shouldn’t mean exporting a dozen files, renaming versions, and losing the thread of your ideas. In Photoshop v27.5 and above, you can now send your work directly to Firefly Boards, so exploration, comparison, and concept-building stay connected to the file you’re actually designing.

What’s new in this flow

With the new integration, you can move from “editing” to “ideating” without breaking momentum:

• Share any Photoshop document to Firefly Boards straight from the Share panel or the Export menu — add it to an existing board or start a new one.
• Firefly Boards now shows up in the Variations panel, making it a natural destination when you’re comparing AI-generated directions.
• When you generate image variations using Ideate in Firefly Boards, you can open them in a preconfigured board layout built for exploration and iteration.
• New guided workflows help you create moodboards and visual concepts, plus jump quickly into branding/marketing assets and social content exploration.

Why this is useful (real creator scenarios)

Here are a few ways teams are already using it:

• Creative direction & concepting: Pull your Photoshop hero image into a board, generate and compare variations, and quickly land on a visual direction.
• Brand systems & campaigns: Build a board that holds your “north star” comps, typography/texture inspiration, and AI variations—everything in one place for faster alignment.
• Social series planning: Explore multiple visual treatments for a post template, then keep the best options grouped for quick iteration and approvals.
• Stakeholder reviews: Boards make it easier to show “why” a direction works—context + options, not just a single final.

A simple way to use it (no heavy process)

Start with your working Photoshop document, share it to a new or existing Firefly Board, then use the Variations panel to explore directions and open Ideate-generated options in a board layout designed for side-by-side comparison. From there, keep iterating on the strongest candidates and use the board as your living “concept wall” as the design evolves.
