Text and symbol generation in images is not supported yet in the Text to Image module. The quality of our models will improve with time, and generated content will better respect the prompt. If you are trying to create just text, please try the Text Effects module. (Merging all similar threads here so we can track the number of reports for this)

@Anonymous37037930cx5u, While it has gotten better, Firefly (and most other AI image generators) is not good at putting exact text from a prompt into an image. Sometimes it is perfect, but usually, it does not get it right.  The best solution is to use Adobe Express or Photoshop to add text in.  The more complicated the angle or perspective of the text, the more likely you will need Photoshop to get what you want.

 

Please see this article on why generating text in AI image generators is hard:

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

Hello @Sanjay24808822r1zk,

 

Text is a weakness, not just in Firefly, but in other AI generators as well. I merged your post into this thread which dicusses the issue and gives some tips to improve generations with text.

My best,

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.

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.

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).

Please inform yourself about what generative AI can do at all. Not many models are currently able to generate correct text (any content). They just cannot spell and they just cannot count.

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.

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...
