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:

Dear CSI Productions,

 

Thank you for your kind response. I am using the prompt "isolated on a white background" which also works pretty well. Your idea using the HEX code however is clever. But what prompt do you use. And how do you render without shadows and nuances - it's difficult to get Firefly to render the background as a solid color. Cheers and all the best, Adam

For those requesting a no background feature. I've done the following with great success. In your prompt for a background, specify that you want a green screen background (you can even enter color #'s for the green). It can be any flat color that contrasts well with your character or subject matter. Once rendered, open it in PhotoShop and use the Generative fill/remove background feature. If this doesn't produce the effect you want try Remove.bg . Great tool that does a phenomenal job even with flyaway hair. It will create a mask with amazing qualities. After that, just place your desired background under the newly created masked layer.

Dear Adobe Team,

 

I hope this mail finds you well. I've used Photoshop since it was released in 1990 on the Mac and would like to thank the ingeneers for this wonderful tool.

 

Now I've tried your newest tool Firefly and am impressed by the quality of the images one can generate. 

 

Sorry for this long intro. My suggestion: Generate images with transparent backgrounds

 

All the best from Copenhagen

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.

Gracias, si elimina el fondo, pero lo deja totalmente blanco, no transparente.

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.


Thanks,

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,
