Question

Can you save and print a text image that you generate in Firefly?

In using Firefly I have tried to generate text with AI.  Can such texts be saved and printed--if the end poduct is fo personal use only? I have also experimented with some AI generated images and would like to know if these images can be saved/printed---again strictly for personal use?  I often make custom photo books for my personal use---NOT to sell, using online publishing vendors and would use such images as title pages and/or as backgrounds for my personal photographs. Thank you for any help you can offer.

Hi Cassandra, For any of the products using generative AI features (such as Firefly web site, Ilustrator, Photoshop, Adobe Express) these are the guidelines for use: Adobe Generative AI User Guidelines.  These guidelines say that content created with generative AI features can be used for commercial use unless the product is in beta and it says it cannot be used for commercial use.  The only other thing to note is if you are using the free Firefly plan, you cannot remove the watermark, even if your use is noncommercial/personal only.  I hope this answers your question.

I appreciate your previous reply.  I am trying to determine how to save a text alphabet that was generated via Firefly.  I asked for a text which would generate a complete  alphabet in which each letter was created using images of ducks.  I get 4 options--shown in 4 individual squares. How do I save such custom alphabets such that I can spell out words using these letters as text labels for my personal photos.  When I try to save it I end up saving a square which has in it all 26 letters of the alphabet--each one created by Firefly---how can I separate each created letter---or does each letter have to be created separately---e.g. I would be saving 26 downloads? Thank you.

First of all I appreciate all your help.  Yes, I tried using the 'text effects' and I received an answer which showed a beautifully generated complete upper case 26 letter alphabet in a single square.  I am trying to see if it is even possible to generate a useable 'font' of English letters (upper and lower case) and numbers that are all composed of Mandarin Duck images.  I would love to be able to type such words/numbers as---Aix galericulata March 7, 2024 on some of the pages of a photo book that I would put together with my photos and probably using an online resource such as Mixbook.  I have not yet tried to save any of the Mandarin Duck text letters in PNG---probably because I do not know how to pull the individual text letters out of the AI generated square which contains all 26 upper case letters.  I also have not taken this question to the Adobe Photoshop help chat service.  I will continue to try and see if something like I am imagining is even possible.  I would have to presume that this is possible--after all surely Photoshop would not offer the 'text effect' option if  you could not use the text to type words! I am most grateful for all your help/advice.  I will check back if/when I get some help from Photoshop.


WIth the FontSelf plugin for Photoshop you could create a pixel based SVG color font out of a pixel image. 

 

There might be free services to create pixel fonts (I only know vector based services)

p.s. i don't think the adobe website, and forums in particular, are easy to navigate, so don't spend a lot of time searching that forum list. do your best and we'll move the post (like this one has already been moved) if it helps you get responses.
