Tool Spotlight: Adobe Firefly

The newest addition to the Adobe Creative Cloud suite, Adobe Firefly is a browser-based app that uses “generative AI and simple text prompts to bring your ideas to life.” Firefly, drawing on the extensive Adobe Stock image library, can generate artistic or photorealistic images of almost anything you can imagine.

Adobe Firefly also offers a generative fill function, which you can use to edit your own images by adding or removing objects, changing the background, and editing existing aspects of the image, such as color.

Adobe Firefly is also incorporated into other Adobe apps, such as Photoshop, Illustrator, and Adobe Express, to power new features such as generative fill and text effects.
