Issue with Adding Reference Images in Firefly

Hello,

When I try to add an image from the Reference section while editing an image in Firefly, the tab where I can select an image does not open.

I have tried all the usual troubleshooting steps, including restarting my PC and clearing my browser cache, but the issue persists. There is no error message, but the feature does not work either.

I have attached a video demonstrating the issue.

I would appreciate your assistance with this matter.

Best regards,

    Hi ​@Exquisite_Diamond77da,

    It happens on the first reference image or the second one?

    Can you try dragging the reference image into the box and see if that works?

    Thanks,

    Hey ​@Exquisite_Diamond77da 

    Help us. Help you. Pardon I misread the error.

    We want to assist you and help resolve the challenges you are encountering. When things are not working as expected it is frustrating.
    Could you provide more information to proceed. Without the requested information it is difficult to assist you resolve the issue.

     

    Steps to take
    This behaviour has been caused by interference from browser extensions in the past (such as ad blockers). Can you try in private browsing/incognito mode or in another browser as a test?

    Could you create a full screen video of your workflow showing us what is happening? This would help considerably.

    Thank you for providing the details. 
    Could you try using Adobe Firefly Boards

    I have encountered a similar issue previously. 
    Not exactly the same issue. I hope that this workaround will at least get you going.

    Cheers

    There is no issue with generating images, but I’m having a problem with the editing part. When editing an image, I can’t add a different reference.
