I am trying to generate a logo with a desired text. It is not accepting it.

Correct answer Kartika Rawat

Hi e339816051nxw!

Sorry about that. Currently, Firefly has limitations in creating realistic body features in generated images. The quality of our models will improve with time, and generated content will continue to better follow prompts. Select the report icon to provide feedback about distorted facial or body features.

 

Let us know.

Thanks,

KR

In all images I am generating, the font is in symbols and therefor looks like jibberish.

Firefly is terrible at handling words on screen.  Which only explains why it doesn't understand most the prompts I give it.  Even simpler prompts like  "a semi exiting the highway, signs that say 'no parking' or symbols with 'no semis'  always come out looking like alien language.   

 

In my mind, this is a major bug. 

Because you are Adobe, masters of font, creators of icons, leaders in design + innovation, you aren't supposed to be the company that forces long-time customers into lame credits that are used up after wasting my time. 

 

As another point, I took all the exact prompts I used and pluged them into Sora and I got what I wanted and Kling AI was better than Firefly.

 

Time to level up...

Also why can't we click on the misspelled word and correct it.I have to remove/erase and add Text which is difficult!

You can upload the generated image into the Remove Background modul and have it erased.

 

If you want that amount of editing options, probably use Photoshop for it.

I am asking for it to create a word in all capital letters and it creates the word but it cuts it off on both edges when you can't even read the whole thing.

Which module are you using?

Firefly is incredibly disappointing. Inputs were specific. Results were misspelled mishmash

Wenn ich ein Bild mit einem Monitor darstellen möchte, auf dem ein Text steht, wird der Text nicht richtig dargestellt (Buchstaben doppelt, falsch...). Woran liegt das? Kann das verbessert werden?

Hi @wolfram_2801,

 

Getting text right in AI image generation can be challenging. Generally, the best approach is to generate the item and add the text in with another app such as Photoshop or Adobe Express.

It's bizarre to me that Adobe "doesn't do text" ... fonts are one of the core competencies, and graphics the second.  They must be concerned with 'offending' - taking too much artistic license or some sort of weird copyright thing - as there are sites popping up that DO THIS... never mind that putting in text that a user actually specifies shouldn't be any big deal in the big picture. (pun intended).

See the answer marked "correct" from Droopy on why generative AI is not able to do text very well, and use Adobe express or another application for your text.

I asked firefly not to put any text in the pictures which it generates, but it didn't work. Does anybody know what prompt I should use to make it work?

@慧淇277239280myl in general Firefly does not recognize negative prompting so saying "do not add text" it will read "add text" - cut that phrase out and see if it adds text on a new generation.
