Add a way to export a citation for the image

[vklcc]

Creating images is great for illustrations, but it is essential, especially in academic areas, to be able to cite the source correctly, so it would be nice to have a way to reformat the citation in different styles to be able to say:
I created this image using Adobe Firefly with this prompt and these settings.

Can you share more about this idea? Would it be used in Text to image? When mentioning citing sources? What sources are you referring to? Can you share an example on what this might look like? Thank you for this great idea. 🙂

I believe the source they are refering to IS Adobe Firefly. When you want to cite where you got the images (Adobe Firefly) it would be nice to have a way to include the promt used and settings used.

The Chicago Manual of Style recommends citations like:

"Side view of cartoon laughing bright yellow turkey," image generated by Adobe’s Firefly Model 3, November 5, 2024.

So, I think the original poster might have wanted somethink like a button which has a copyable text of a citation for the image. Could be an additional button on an image:

Working in Higher Education and with AI, referencing has been something I've been enagaging with lately.

As @droopydog500 mentioned, Chicago referencing style does have a suggested format as in the page below:
https://www.chicagomanualofstyle.org/qanda/data/faq/topics/Documentation/faq0423.html 

Most referencing styles have not been updated to give official ways of citing GenAI images, and ones that do, tend to  focus on the prompt, not additional settings.

Here is a MLA Referencing Style of an image I created (following https://style.mla.org/citing-generative-ai/).

Fig. 1. “house in magical world” prompt, Firefly, Image 3, Adobe, 28 Apr. 2024, https://firefly.adobe.com.

The above gives the prompt, tool, date created, no additional settings/tags. Images that use a variery of tags and a reference image can be more complex to cite, like the one below:
https://firefly.adobe.com/community/view/texttoimage?id=urn:aaid:sc:US:a7f79216-032f-410d-bd7f-7d867... 

Then what about a citation for a GenAI image that has had further work done - say with Generative Fill or Photoshop?

So a button that claims to be a citation can be problematic if it suggests it is generating an official, complete citation.

I also glossed over how you distil a multiline prompt into a short description...

I am not necessarily in favour of this—just wanted to help build the idea out.

Back to the initial suggestion, I do see value in considering how you would cite an image created with Firefly. My reply tried to point out that it can be a little tricky for an Adobe generated citation reccomended for academic purposes. Different academic contexts may have different requirements.
