Cross-Product Creative Challenge #2: Firefly Gallery Choice

Community Expert ,
Mar 12, 2025 Mar 12, 2025

You don’t have to be an expert! This is for anyone at any skill level. The main thing is to have a go, and let the joy of creating be its own reward!

 

Thank you to everyone who took part in last month's challenge. This month's is a little different. Instead of using your own prompt, pick a starter image from the Firefly Gallery such as this one.

AlanGilbertson_1-1741843576730.png

Generate a new image using the same prompt, then use Firefly, Adobe Express, or Photoshop, to expand the image into a finished product of your choice using at least one other app from Creative Cloud and/or Substance 3D. The point of the challenge is to work across apps, so this is important.

 

Save an image, screenshot, or video clip of your final artwork, post it as a reply to this post, and (important!) describe your process and which tools you used. Let's see how far your creative ideas can go!

It started with this image:

Screenshot 2025-03-20 at 10.39.11.png

Then I imported the image to Substance 3D Stager to add 3D models after matching the perspective ansd lights. Then I went back to Photoshop to add some post processing.

From the gallery, I chose the image below Image 3-21-25 at 4.09 AM.jpeg

I generated a new image using the prompt

Image 3-21-25 at 4.13 AM.jpeg

I selected the far left image and opened into photoshop.

Image 3-21-25 at 5.08 AM.jpeg

I used the magic want to select the upper area and generated with the prompt "galaxies, planets and stars". I then selected the lower portion and generated using the prompt "beautiful violent planetary environment". The middle area with the sky, birds and the land were selected and I used the planet/stars prompt. I finished using the retouch and the adjust tool to lighten/darken and to selected the landscape warm colors. I had no idea what I was doing, I have not done this before and just kept trying different things and undoing what I messed up or didn't like. There are things I was not sure how to fix and I accidentally "lost" one of the planets with making adjustments. This was a fun challenge!

That's great, Glynis. Poking around in the apps and discovering new things that work (or don't!) is what this challenge is for. You totally got it!

Started with the image from:
https://firefly.adobe.com/community/view/texttoimage?id=urn:aaid:sc:US:b7b3b506-2bfe-4b75-970e-582f3... 

Generated a few versions until got something I liked as below:
FireflyBird_sm.jpg

Brought into Photoshop and expanded without a prompt to get the image below (after multiple generations, folllowed by cropping and cleaning up):
VibrantIllustrationAnimal_v2.jpg

Tried with a prompt: fantasy forest, trees made of colourful, bright feathers.
After a few versions, many Photoshop adjustments with Generative fill plus other Photoshopping, got:
VibrantIllustrationAnimal_v3.jpg

Thanks @AlanGilbertson and @Oh.N8 
I'm quite happy with it. Has a softer quality than the original gallery image as below:
