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?

When using png files for reference/style it would be nice to be able to save files with transparent backgrounds/alpha channels. I've other ideas, but that's all for now - really love Adobe - with you had a nonprofit/final payment instead of subscription that doesn't include everything - but that's another issue entirely. Cheers 🙂 Austin

Why have the feature to remove the background in Firefly if we can not save it after the edit? What is the point, or is it a bug? It did a great job with fur and I would like to avoid using Photoshop to clean it up. Photoshop did terribly in removing the background.

Firefly's background removal feature might be limited or still under development. This could explain why saving the edited image isn't currently possible.

While Firefly's performance with fur is promising, you might need to use Photoshop or other image editing tools for more precise background removal or to save the final result.

cuando se está en la herramienta relleno generativo, la herramienta deja seleccionar el fondo. Seria una buena idea poder descargar la imagen con transparencia en png.

Yes, you have to tell Firefly to add full white BG, and then use select color in your editor of choice--however, this is cumbersome, and the magic marquee, the select by color functions...they never work right. So much time wasted. Firefly cuts it out great usually, and then I spend three times more time selecting and removing it in another app. It's a marketing strat among other things. It's not given to use to bring us to spend more money with Adoble.

Given what I use Photoshop for — digital scrapbooking — your suggestion of having the ability to create objects with a transparent background in Firefly would speed up my design process exponentially. As it stands, I have to prompt Firefly to create something on a "white background," then extract the object to perfection in order to meet digital scrapbooking quality control industry standards. Transparent backgrounds is definitely on my wish list.

The ability to edit posts in this forum is not available to newcomers. You need to have made a certain number of posts before that feature is available to you, though I can't recall what that number is. I think it's meant to thwart scammers.

Maybe I'm missing this obvious missing function, but can you also add an EDIT POST to this forum, so that I don't have to stare at my typo powerless. I mean...it's so fitting it's a missing function. If it's here and I can't find it...well, it's a design issue then.

I can't for the life of my understand how after removing the BG perfectly, I can't freakin' download that image. It FORCES me to add a generative fill in the BG. Who's idea was this? JUST ADD THIS FUNCTION it's a no-brainer. I know I'm being rude here, but if you only knew the Adobe woes I've had as of late...ooo wee.
