Is there a way to generate an image with a transparent background. Altrnantively, will there be a way to produce an image as file with layers so we can easily  remove the background?

    This can be done in the Firefly AI Assistant:

    Hi... I don't know if it's possible... but it would be great if there was the possibility of creating images with transparent backgrounds in Adobe Firefly.
    I hope my comment helps to improve the program.

     

    Thank you very much!

    Adrian

    @Jhon_Fragozo,

     

    Do you mean in Firefly or Adobe Express?  In Adobe Express, you also have to remove the background colour:

     

    Then save the image.

    Adobe Firefly no descarga la imagen en .png fondo transparente después de haber quitado el fondo con la herramienta.

    Hello @Jhon_Fragozo,

    Thank you for your message. I am sorry you are having this problem. 

    I am sorry you experienced this difficulty. You are correct that Firefly Generative Fill cannot make a transparent background. However, you can take a Firefly generated image into Adobe Express and use that to make the image transparent. To do that from Generative Fill:

     

    Once in Adobe Express, you can select "Remove Background":

     

     

    If you need to touch up what was made transparent, you can use the "Erase" feature to erase (make transparent) part of the image or restore (remove transparency) parts of the image.

     

     

    I hope this helps.  Let me know if you have any problems trying this out.


    Thanks,

    Bonjour, 

     

    Je voudrai télécharger une image dont j'ai retiré le fond (via firefly) mais ça ne marche pas. Il me le télécharge avec l'ancien fond ou un nouveau fond généré par l'iA. Je le faisais sans problème avant j'imagine que c'est un bug?

    Hello @kindaly_6795,

    Thank you for your message. I am sorry you are having this problem. 

     

    Firefly Text to Image and Generative Fill cannot make a transparent background. However, you can take a Firefly generated image into Adobe Express and use that to make the image transparent. You can take it into Adobe Express by pressing the "Share" button on the lower right and then selecting "Open in Adobe Express" from Text to Image:

     

     

    or from Generative Fill:

     

    Once in Adobe Express, you can select "Remove Background":

     

     

    If you need to touch up what was made transparent, you can use the "Erase" feature to erase (make transparent) part of the image or restore (remove transparency) parts of the image.

     

    I hope this helps.  Let me know if you have any problems trying this out.

    Currently Firefly does not have the ability to make the background transparent, but you can use Quick Action in Adobe Express to download a png file with the background removed.

    Hello @ARTOX PRODUCTION,

     

    Yes, you cannot use Firefly to make an image transparent. You will need to take it to Adobe Express or Photoshop to make it transparent.

    My best,

    Bonjour
    Lorsque je supprime l'arriere plan d'une image tout ce passe bien, sauf que quand je la télécharge l'arrière plan est toujours la, est ce normal ?

    Hi ARTOX PRODUCTION!

     

    Currently, Firefly cannot make a transparent background. However, you can take a Firefly generated image into Adobe Express and use that to make the image transparent. Click on the share on the lower right side > Open in Adobe Express.

     

    I hope this helps.

    Thanks,

        If Adobe Elements can generate transparent backgrounds, it seems like Firefly should be able to too. This would be extremely helpful in scenarios like making a furry or grassy object that needs to be placed, for example, on t-shirts of various colors.
