Using firefly to generate references for an illustration to be used commerically

Hi,

Creative Cloud Pro user here, looking for assurance I'm using Firefly correctly for commercial use.

I want Firefly to generate reference images for us, to use to create new illustrations for a client (who will print our designs on t-shirts and packaging).

In this instance, Firefly is only being used for references - we are redrawing and adding to the end products (ie creating derivative - and original - work).

Is this type of usage within the commercial allowances?

And we are not using any Beta models for this purpose, only the Firefly model on the website.

 

Many thanks in advance!

Hi karls74109419!

Thanks for writing in. Outputs from generative AI features without the beta label can be used commercially. As part of Adobe’s effort to design Firefly to be commercially safe, we are training our initial commercial Firefly model on licensed content, such as Adobe Stock and public domain content where copyright has expired. 

 

Let us know if you have any questions.

Thanks Kartika! Good to know.

I don't think I've ever seen a "beta" label. Is this referring to the software name, or is it something that appears in the output file itself?

Which opens another question - if using, for example, Photoshop Beta - and one uses "generative fill" to extend a background of a photo (one we own rights to), is that output OK? (ie not a "new" image, just an extended version of an original).

 

Many thanks!
