Hi Preran,

 

In using Text Effects in Adobe Express(Firefly enabled), How does one use the Tint option and is there an obvious reason why this feature exists? I couldn't really grasp how does it work.

Do you mean the Opacity option? It's a simple slider to vary the opacity of your generated text.

Hi Preran, 

Right now I am having my students use Firefly in a communications and identity class. Then they apply design fundamentals to create a brand new fictuous restaurant that includes the logo, color palettes, type styles, photographic imagery, and more. One of thos exercises includes using Adobe Firefly to create a conceptual interior or exterior rendering of the restaurant. Is OK for my students to use these photos of the interior renderings in their portfolio to be placed on Behance? I see the discussion below regarding for commercial use but I see a lot of mixed answers. So I thought I would add my question to the mix.

Hi @Sarah Schweiger ! As a former college educator, I would not see any issue with student portfolios as long as they disclose the AI usage. Even with Firefly 3 or beta.

When I showcase to Firefly or Photoshop AI related content to students... or film a video about it for YouTube, I always mention that it is important to be ethical and be transpartent. Share the steps on how you created it. That it was done with AI.
This is not a bad thing. It shows they understand a new platform and can work with it.

I also mention it is important to still learn the graphic tools like Photoshop and Illustrator as you may have to adjust whatever the AI produces.

And I mention the AI Credentials that Adobe Firefly and Photoshop produce. 

I also share how some companies have recieved backlash for using AI... or not being transparent about doing it.


Having a disclosure is so important. Can you imagine a potential employer or client thinking you did it all on your own??? That would be a disaster as their expectations would be really high. And if you could not work the other tools. Oh no that would be a mess.

So I always tell students and people, share the AI platform that you used. Give it that disclaimer.

Hello, 

I love the addition of structure reference. However, I'd love to make gradual adjustments, yet the slider defaults in the center and only slides all the way left or all the way right. It would be great to have a little more control and options in between. Can that be a future option?

Yes, I'd agree with this and please bring the control to structure reference in Photoshop.

 

Best regards, Euan.

Good day, my question can the images generated with firefly be used for comecial purposes, like for NFTS?

All of the training data for Firefly is owned or licensed by Adobe, or is in the public domain, therefore anything generated by Firefly is legal for commercial purposes. See the FAQ for detailed information.

Hi Preran!

Are there any plans to bring the Object Composite feature (currently for Enterprise customers) to the GA release of Firefly?

Hi Preran, 

While I'm loving the addition of Structure with Firefly, I'm often looking for a more exact lift but modifed to match the art parameters that I've chosen. For example a (non copyright) local landmark or a portrait that I'd like converted to an art style. Is this possible, or planned for that matter? Thanks.

Hi Sean,

I don't currently have this on our roadmap. The best suggestion I can give is to turn the strength up to maximum for structure match.

Thanks!

Hi, Preran! Thank you so much for the opportunity

 

My question is about the Image Quality and Resolution enhancement, will there be an improvement on the size limitation of the generated area, or the improvement will be in the enhance feature? Because right now I see a enhance button on the photoshop beta, it helps but creates kind of some artifacts on the image.  Let me know if I was clear. Thanks 🙂

You can try the superzoom filter under neural filters in Photoshop til Firefly comes with some kinda enhance.

Heres just an quick example I did, generating an image directly in PS zooming 5x:
