1. Welcome to the Adobe Firefly Fundamentals Course: You ever imagined typing a few words and watching them transform into a full artwork right before your eyes? That's the magic of Adobe Firefly, Adobe's very own AI powered tool. And in this class, I'm going to show you how to use it to bring your imagination to life. Hi, I'm Pose kehiwi, a graphic designer and digital artist with over six years of experience. I have been working with clients all over the world with various types of design and media works. Apart from that, I've been teaching Adobe tools and creative skills for years now, and I'm so excited to show you guys how you can use AI to enhance your workflow rather than simply replace. In this beginner friendly course, you're going to start by learning how to generate images from some text. Then we're going to refine those images using Adobe Fireflies generated fill, which allows you to add, remove and expand your images. Then we're going to be building beautiful backgrounds, some posters, and some Text Effects as a part of the application of how you can use Adobe Firefly to make real designs. You do not need any graphic design or AI tool experience because I'm going to be walking you through each of the steps. All you need is that account, your computer, and some curiosity. When you finish this course, you're going to know exactly how to turn one idea into a finished digital art. You're also going to have a project to show for it, something that we're going to go over near the end of the course. So grab your coffee, your computer, and let's get started. 2. How to Generate Images: Let's start with the basics, generating your first image in Adobe Firefly. This is the homepage right here. You just type in firefly at adobe.com, sign into your Adobe account, and this is what you should see. So it's really straightforward. All you do is describe the image you want to generate, put in a prompt, and you're all good to go. I'm going to do a very simple prompt, such as a cozy cabin in the snowy mountains at sunrise. With every prompt, you're going to need some description. There needs to be a subject. There needs to be a location and the setting, if you want to add a certain style, that's also something we're going to look at in the next lesson. But the more you give Adobe Firefly, the closer that result is going to be to what you're actually looking for. On the left side, make sure you have image and then just hit generate. Firefly is going to create multiple image options for us, and that's going to happen instantly. Here's my four results. It's indeed a cozy cabin in the snowy mountains at sunrise. Pretty spot on. And once you have your image, you can refine it further by adjusting the aspect ratio, the content type, the colors, and everything else on the right side. The first thing is the image model. I'm using the latest one. There's also image for Ultra. There's also some partner models that you can see below if you're really into flux generations and you've worked with it before. Now you can integrate it into Adobe Firefly. I'm going to stick with Firefly Image four. Feel free to play around with them. They will give you different results because they are different AI models. Next is the aspect ratio, which is the size of your photo. I have chosen four by three. You can go for a square, a vertical shot, horizontal, and it really depends on what you plan to do with this later on. Content type is about whether you want it to be a picture, like an actual photograph like these guys or a vector sketch sort of thing with the art option. If you put it on auto, Firefly going to determine which type depending on your prompt. Can play around with the visual intensity, play around with the composition. These are all things that I'll go over in the next lessons. But once you have your images, when you hover over any of them, you're able to give some feedback to Firefly as to how well it did, trying to understand your prompt. You can share it, you can favor it, edit it further, open it in Photoshop web. Or just download it. Essentially, when you enhance it further, you're able to maybe add something, remove it, and that's again, something that we're going to look at further. But I do want to talk a little bit about your prompt. Say I did not give it that many description and I just had a cozy maybe just a cabin. A cabin in these snowy mountains. Let's generate. I'm not going to change any of the settings, and let's just compare what we get. As you can see, it's clearly very different. The element of the sunrise was completely removed. We're getting a very midday look at this cabin. It is snowy. There are clouds. It is indeed mountains. And if I remove snowy and just generate, I'm going to remove that snow element. It's literal as to what you put into your prompt. I'm also going to show you what it's going to look like when we really expand this prompt. Here, it's in the mountains, but there are no snow. All right. Now let's bulk up this very simple prompt. I'm just going to go ahead and copy the first one, put it over here, and let's add more details. Since I want a photo, I'm going to describe that picture in terms of the camera details, the quality, and that sort of thing. I bulked up the prompt, as you can see, and I'm just going to hit generate. Now I have introduced a deer and some birds. There is the deer, the birds, smoke out the chimney, still, snowy mountains and cabin and all. But you can see how just by adding those subject words, I was able to completely change my image. We went from this to this. Now, if you're unsure as to how to go about expanding your prompt or what you even put in there, there are some prompt features such as suggestions and enhancements. We also have unlimited access. Let me just delete this completely and start from scratch. Let's say I know that I want to include a cabin. I let go, you can see I'm getting many suggestions. This could help me brainstorm as to where I want to take this image. Let's try this guy, like Kevin under the Milky Way. When I let go, there's more details. Now let's see what we could do with this. Then there's more. I'm just clicking. I'm not really typing anything, as you can see. Just press some random things and then it stops because when you add too many details, you may end up confusing the AI model. Now let's generate this one and here's my photo. Once you're done with your image, feel free to download or highlight as a favorite. When I do that, I could go to my files favorite, and then I can just take a look at this photo. Over here, you're also able to look at your generation history. So anything you created with Firefly is going to be over here. Can also make some moodboards, and it's pretty cool. If you go to home, you're going to go back to that original page. That's how you can generate images with Adobe Firefly. Let's move into how we can add styles and references. 3. Adding Styles and References: Next, let's make your images stand out by adding some styles and references. So we're going to type a new prompt, something really simple again, such as a futuristic city at night. Enter. In this same window when you get your results, we're going to try to alter it using the composition tab right over here and the styles, we're going to change this a bit. This is what we have. We got four moons for some reason, but that could be a choice as well. But now we're going to basically start with the composition and tell Firefly how the outline of the image should look like. We have some options. I just went to gallery. We have abstract photography, line drawing, and that's about it. But you're able to add in your own. For example, if you want a city at night to replicate your city, you can upload a photo of your city and then have Firefly replace those regular buildings with really cool ones like this because this one just came out of nowhere and you can see that it's not exactly identical. I'm just going to use one of the photography ones just because we're dealing with the road. And I think I'll just choose this one. Let's go back. Now you can see that I have it here. I'm able to adjust the strength. This is the default one, which is either high or low. I'm going to generate it. You can see it's over here as well. I'll do one with a really low strength and then one more with a higher strength. Immediately, you can see the difference here. This is the regular strength and this was our photo. It quite literally copied that road and just added in those futuristic elements. Again, we have those multiple moons, but the city at night concept is being preserved very well. This was the low strength one. You can see that it starts with the general idea, but it does switch it around a little bit. We have this road starting from the middle, going to the side. There's multiple roads here and you can just see the difference from the top and bottom. Now let's do full strength, which means that Firefly cannot make any adjustments to my composition reference. I want it exactly like that reference. Nothing else. As you can see, that's exactly what it delivered. Now if you go over this photo, you can see that we're dealing with a main road, but there's these side lines, and that was also replicated here. The main road, these two side things were there and we have four variations that we can look over. Now, this was regarding the composition, basically where the elements are going to be placed. I'm going to show you one more which is not really relevant to road aspect. Let's just pick a abstract one, medium strength, just to show you that there is a difference depending on which composition reference you choose. There we go. Now I use that ball as the main moon and maintain the rest of the city at the bottom. Okay, so that's composition. I'm just going to hit X to clear it out, and then now we can look at styles. W styles, you're going over the colors, the textures, the contrast, and that sort of thing, not so much the placement of the elements. Once again, we're able to add in our own images or just browse the gallery, and that's what I'm going to do. Have a popular category, acrylic, watercolor, pencil, three D, and many more. We also have some photography ones, and there's so many to choose from. Now because I want to make this photo realistic, I'm going to go in that category. Let's see. Let's do dramatic lighting or maybe a landscape like this one. I'm going to choose this as one of them, and let's try to explore a little bit of these. I think I'll just go with this. Not sure what that is. We actually have a City at night reference, which is pretty good. Going to close that. Again, we have the same slider for the strength, going to start with medium and just hit generate. Now you can see how my image was completely transformed and brought into this look. This is a lot more realistic in terms of the colors. Again, we have multiple moons, but that can be fixed later on. Then I could go down to effects, which is going to add some additional things on top of your previous two reference. You can do something here, something here, and then blend it all with an effect. So we have a lot of artsy things like movements, if you're doing any sort of illustration, but we also have some effects for photography, and that's what I'm going to go for because we're dealing with a photo. I'm going to go to concepts and choose one of these maybe beautiful. Then down here you get to adjust the colors lighting and camera angle. That's especially important if you're trying to make a composition yourself. Color and tone really straightforward. There's a preview on the left. I'm going to go with cool tones, similar to what we have. Terms of lighting, we can do one of these. I will do dramatic light, and then finally the camera angle. Where is the camera place, camera quotation. I'm going to go for landscape because that's exactly what we're dealing with. Now, let's go ahead and test this out. I'm going to keep my style reference medium strength and generate. I could also try to add a composition reference. Let's do this one maybe. Now I have all three working together to bring my idea to life. Here's all the stuff we have. This is the results we see how different these two look. This is a lot more realistic. Now I'm going to try our ultimate combination, which is all of these cards, and this is what we have. You can see how the road in this image is kind of structured and how Firefly tried to replicate that. We have this curvy situation going around. And just for reference, if I clear everything and generate this again, and you can just see the difference when we've cleared everything out. This is not cool toned. It's not that realistic. It's still an image. But this just goes to show how important your style references and style references are. 4. Generative Fill: Us explore one of Fireflys most powerful tools, and that is Generative Fill. What we're going to do is take one of these images that we've generated and try to remove and replace using that generative fill. This is where we left off. I'm sure you guys recall we ended up getting multiple moons for some reason, and that's a glitch that could happen very often. It's not a weird thing at all. I'm just going to take the one that I liked, like this one, and then we're going to edit it. So what I want to do is just remove these guys and maybe amplify this moon. So let's go ahead and go to edit on the corner. And hit generative film. This is where you get to choose from one of these to make your adjustments. Just to go over them real quick. Insert is going to allow you to add something to the image. Remove is going to remove, expand we'll expand the image entirely. We're going to look at this later and then pan allows you to move your image around without moving any of the elements. My goal here is to remove the moons. Let's click on remove and then just go over the moons. Down here, you get to add or subtract from your selection. So with add, I'm just going to make a very big hole and let's say I accidentally went over the building using subtract, I could bring back the building and make sure that the only thing I'm removing is that moon alone and nothing extra. If you want to change your brush size, you just go over here. This is the size of the brush. This is the brush hardness, which is basically the edges of your brush. Is it going to be, let me just make it 100. You can see when I click on with AD. It's a very sharp selection, whereas if I go back here and remove the hardness to zero, it's going to be very soft to the point that it's really small, even though it was the exact same size. So the more soft the edges of your brush is, the better it's going to blend in. It's going to go in with subtract and remove my selection. Next, we have brush opacity. How much of that selection is visible? If I make a change right now, it's going to be faded sus if I had my opacity to 100. Let's bring it back and set these to the default values, which were around the middle. I'm just going to remove this completely and begin by fixing this mod. I could use my pan to go over here and I'm just going to draw in my thing one more time. Also have some options for Firefly to automatically select the background. Let's say you want to remove the background completely instead of going over everything with your brush, you just click on this once. Invert selection allows you to basically flip the amount that you grabbed. Right now I'm only grabbing this tiny bit, but if I click on this, I'm going to remove everything else and only keep that tiny bit. Reset everything like this and then when you're ready, you can hit and remove. For removing, there's no prompt because basically Firefly is going to use the details around the image to fill in that spot. We're just going to have to wait and then choose from the options down below. And if you want, you could create more. Let's say these are not what I'm looking for. Just hit more and you're going to get other variations. You can scroll through your variations like this, choose to keep it or cancel. I'm going to keep it because it did a pretty good job. Now I'm going to repeat the same thing with the other moons. Just like that, I remove. There we go. Now it looks pretty normal, we get one moon. But what I want to do now is get rid of this moon and replace it with a much more bright or maybe a colored moon just to fit this fantasy environment. I'm going to increase the size of my brush and just get rid of this completely. Let's remove, and then we're going to use the insert brush to prompt in another moon. So you can see it gave me another tiny moon, so I'm going to click on more. Hopefully, it's going to give us one without it, but even if it doesn't, you can basically go over one area more than once to get your final results. I'll show you what that looks like. I'm just going to grab one of these like this one because it's easier to remove, keep, and then just make another selection there. And now I was able to remove the moons completely. Now, let's switch over to insert, and it's basically the same thing you're choosing an area, but the only difference is that you're going to have to put in a prompt for Firefly to generate something for you. So I'm going to give it a pretty big area, making sure that I don't go over the buildings, and now you can see we have a prompt box. You can see that it says optional, but if you want to add something, you would want to describe what that is. Or else Firefly is going to just put in an airplane there, and that's not what you want it. So I'm going to do a full moon. To fit this mod, I'm going to say a pink full moon. The rest of the options were the same, and it's pretty straightforward. I'm just going to grab this guy. Now I have a pink moon instead of the multiple moons that we had before and it fits the colors inside my landscape. With generative fill, you can insert and remove and basically reimagine your images in seconds. Now let's move on to how to work with the expand. 5. Expanding Images: Finally, let's talk about expanding images. So this feature lets you extend your canvas beyond its original borders, and it's great for whether you want to have one design made for thumbnails, posters or wider compositions. So initially, when we made this, we use the four by three aspect ratio, and that's exactly what we're dealing with here. Let's say I want to post this on my Instagram story or if I want to make this a landscape shot for a Facebook cover photo, I don't need to go back and regenerate the image. I'm back in the generative film where we left off in the previous lesson and expand is the third option. There are some presets down here for free form if you want to just choose a size yourself for square, landscape, wide screen, portrait, and you could just reset to go back to the original. I'm going to try something that's a little bit different. Square is basically going to just add a little bit on the top and bottom too much going on there. But essentially, you could use these handles to either extend or minimize from these selections. Let's say I have square, but I only want this side, I could only have Firefly work on extending the top side, so you don't really need to stick strictly to the options down below. I'll try a wide screen. It's going to extend the left and the right side. All I have to do is generate and it's going to automatically generate matching background details that blend seamlessly with the original. Now you can see, it's pretty seamless. It looks like it was always a part of this. I'm going to keep this one and I could just keep on adding to this. Let's turn this into a portrait. So here it is as a portrait shot, you can see we really zoomed out from that original piece. We have more blurred roads over here and it all looks pretty well. We even have a moon situation. Those could be like stars, but we already know how to remove and add things using the tools above. So we went from a four by three image from the center into a portrait shot that has a lot more expansion. Once you're done with this, you can download it or share it to save your extended masterpiece. Oh. 6. Backgrounds: We already looked at how to use the generated fill with the brush, to remove, the ad, and then the expand. But now I'm going to show you some real life application, and we're going to use real images for this lesson and not so much AI generated stuff. So I'm back to the homepage, and all we're going to do is go to Image, and you should see Generative Fill right over here. Click on it once and then upload your real photos over here. I have some listed in the resource pack. You can download those or try it with your own images. Here's the first photo. We have this person in this outfit, and what I'm going to do is use Firefly to change his outfit. With the insert brush, we're going to go over his clothing or any area that you want to change. Just make sure that you are trying to be as careful as possible and that your background is neutral. A lot going on in the background that may confuse the AI model. Once you're done, the prompt box is going to show up and you can type in whatever you want. I will do Hawaiian shirt instead, generate, and then maybe we can switch out his outfit. So here are some options. You can see how realistic it looks, and it also mimics the lighting. So the light source is coming from this angle, you can see how the shadows cast it, and this part is getting more light compared to this side. Gonna hit Keep. Next, I could go in for some sunglasses. Let's lower the brush size and go over his eyes, basically where the sunglasses would be. So if I make really big circles, the lens is going to be big as well. Something like that. Here are some interesting sunglasses. You could go for something that covers this eye or if you don't want that, you can go around the eye, basically telling Firefly where the lens should be. The type in maybe glasses this time. And now he has some glasses. I'm going to go with this one to match the outfit. You can also go in if you see some of imperfections like this and then try to have Firefly rebuild that area. There's this harsh line around his neck. Basically, when we were removing his outfit, the color selection may not have been that good. Now I've selected it with my brush. Nothing in the prompt box, let's generate, and that will hopefully smooth over that cut that we had initially. And there we go. Lastly, we could give him a necklace just to finish the outfit. Let's go for a smaller size, and I'm going to go over the shirt a little bit, just so that it looks like it's behind the shirt. So let's do, like, chains to keep it minimal. There you go. You can see how by going over the shirt, Firefly kind of casts that shadow and it looks a lot more realistic. Let's go with this one. So now we have completely changed this person. I'm just going to get the original. So this is the first photo on the left, and this is what we have now, and it didn't really take me that long. Now let's look at a second example which deals a lot more with the background and not so much smaller elements like clothing, necklace or even sunglasses. So let's go back and upload our second photo. So with this second image, we have these four people, a very neutral ish background. There's not a lot going on. And the first thing I want to do is remove these two people. Let's say you had unwanted people in your images and then put them in a completely different environment. So first, since I only want to remove, I will switch over to the remove brush and just go over these two people. When you're done, it remove, and that's gonna remove those extra people for you. There we go. The background is cleared. I'm going to hit keep. Now that we have removed those two, I'm going to deal with the background. Let's switch over to the insert brush. So like the background. Basically, whenever you're on the insert brush, you're going to have a prompt box, and when you're on remove, you're not going to have one. So if you saw that you're not getting the box, just double check to make sure you're on insert. Now I'm going to do a fun party with lights during golden hour. So here I'm instructing about the colors, the lights, basically something that would fit with what we have here. If I chose night with disco lights, it's not going to work out that well. So we got some options. There's some issues in the back. But this one could work. I'm going to hit Keep and then using Insert again, I'm just going to go over this character, and let's see what we could put in. Let's put in Let's actually just hit Generate and see what Firefly gives us. We could just switch over to remove and just get rid of another person. These two would be the main characters in this composition. Okay. So now we don't have that additional person. I'm just going to hit Keep. This was another application with backgrounds. You can, again, select the background, put them in Paris, use the same brushes to add smaller elements if you want. But those were just two basically real life applications that you could explore with these firefly tools. 7. Text Effects: Now that we've built strong compositions, let's add some stylized text. We're going to explore Firefls text effects model and learn how to bring words to life using different textures and styles. Just switch over to image, then scroll down to text effects. This is going to open Adobe Express, essentially the way it works is that you add a text I'm going to give it a nice font. We have some recommended ones over here. I'm just going to choose something a little bit artsy, then maybe grab the edges to make it larger. Whichever font you want, select it, and then go to effects. Now, over here, you have your regular effects like shadows, shapes and all that. But the top one is where you get to use AI to create different text effects. We have some default ones such as, let me go here, such as marble, glitter, gold, shiny marble or even balloon, I'm going to go with this dragonskin one, and there's tons more to explore. There's a loading in the corner and that is firefly working on the texture. Now you can see we have dragon skin over our text. But if you want, you can also create your own. You basically customize the text. So is it going to be tightly or 400 text, medium or loose when I go to loose? Basically, that means that it's not going to focus too much on maintaining the shape of your letters. And since mine is a sample letter anyway, I'm just going to go with loose. We have some tint if you want there to be a certain color. So I will go with an orange to mimic that fire effect, and then we have style. I'll stick to realistic. You can also grab some inspiration. But when you click on it, it's going to apply those effects. But I'm going to try with this one, so just generate let's see how firefly is going to come in handy. There is my molten dragon skin lava effect. You can see has great shadows and highlights. The tint is definitely there. We have some gradients going on as well. The only issue is our A, but that's because we chose the lose option. I'll do one with a tight one just to show you a difference. And now you can see that my A is a lot better. And this time it really focused on maintaining every little detail about this text. So play around with these and you can create any sort of pattern or texture that you want. But what if you wanted to start from Firefly and not so much directly into Adobe Express? All you really need is basically a mold for Firefly to generate a texture into those sets of letters. So I will switch this up with sX. And I'm going to just delete this and start with a completely new title. I'm in the text box. Just grab a title, and I'll do a hello. Command or Control A. Let's give it a bulky font just because that's going to show up a lot better for the texture that I'm going for. Let's do a really big size. Going to grab the corner and just lift it up. It right in the center, and we're just going to download this image. So it's just a very dark, bulky text in front of a white background. Just give that a download. JP P&G doesn't really matter because it's going to go in as an input for Firefly. So let's go to home and text to Image. And basically, you're going to start with a texture, a red, glowing glass ball. Said generate and then work away from there. So basically, I want my hello text to be made up of this texture. So just go for whichever texture you like. Think this is pretty cool. Let's just generate some similar ones and I will have it placed in front of a neutral background front of a white background. So now we're going to upload our text into composition reference. Just hit upload right over here, and then for the style, we're going to add our texture. Let's just click here style reference, and generate. So I'm going to change my prompt actually and then have it go ahead. Let's increase the strength here and we're getting there. Now I'm going to try with 100% style. Let's keep it there and you can see how we went from this to this. So getting close for sure. Let's actually change our aspect ratio. Lower the intensity so it can be less creative with the results. Let me just lower the strength and play around with a few of those combinations. This one's a little cut out, but now that we've extended it to a landscape shot, you can see that it's getting there. The key here is to see how the exact reference that we put in is being maintained here. So the same font and all is being repeated. I'm not sure what these are. But you can see how the ball is consistent, and you were just playing around with these different sliders. And what we could also do is work on one single letter. So let's hit clear and then put Let's turn this off. This is good. Let's generate some similar ones. These aren't as fluffy. Okay. Now you can use this as a style reference, and then just mention a letter. The letter G, just letter G generate that. I didn't have any compositions here. So let's see how it puts this into the letter G. We got some interesting stuff, but let's specify the green ball as a green furry ball. Okay. And now you can see we have a fairy letter g. You don't always need a thing, a template for firefly to follow. But the more simple the prompt and the demand is, the better results you're going to get. If I do the word green, let's see what we get from this prompt. And now you can see I got the word green. So it works both way. We get some illucinations, as well. But we could always use our generative fill to remove if this is the result we want. And you can also see that it has the reflection below. So you can either upload a reference image or don't. But the text effects that you get to create whether fully in Firefly or in Adobe Express can give you more opportunities when it comes to more complex compositions. Let's say you have a great background image and you want to add in a few words, maybe consider using the text effect we've seen in this lesson to spice up your regular letters. 8. Boards: A really helpful feature has now been added to Adobe Firefly, and that is the boards feature. So right below home, you will see that it says boards. And when you click on it, you're immediately able to either create a new board or drag in your files to automatically make one. We also have some samples for you to look at and draw some inspiration from. But essentially, the purpose of a board is for you guys to be able to brainstorm that visual composition that you're trying to get to either adding in different shots that you like. If you're into illustrations, you can bring in the different styles that you want to explore. I just opened this first one film project by Sam fin, just to show you what a professional board is going to look like. So from what we can tell is for a film. This person is going to be brainstorming the shots, the coloring, probably the story line, and all of that. I'm just going to zoom in with my mouse track. You can also use command and then use your scroll wheel to go in or out. I'm just going to zoom right into part one, the brief. They started with Well, here's a sample brief, but essentially what they need to do. What's the opening scene about? Here are some options that they're exploring. You can see they have various shots that they made with AI. There's a mood board, so there's some different examples, colors, then there's some fun transitions, and it just goes on and on. Now, how do you work around a board like this? When you press the space bar that's going to enable the search and over here is where you get to find the different shapes and other assets. Let me look for an apple, and now I have pictures of an apple if that's what I'm trying to do. Can also upload your own work and then decide on the view so you can zoom in to really get a good sense of what these look like. When I select them, you can see that it allows me to do multiple selections. Then you get to place on the Canvas. Now I have all of these Apple photos attached. I could click and drag or just click one to drop them. You can see these are coming from Adobe stock, which is Adobe's own stock platform. You do need to have an account with them to use it, but I'm just going to leave it here to show you. Let's delete. You can click and drag to delete multiple things or just one. But that's essentially how you introduce an asset. On the right side, we have the select tool which lets you select things. And then when you have them selected, depending on what it is, you get some additional options. This black rectangle, when I press on it, you can see I get variations, editing, converting, removing background, crop, and download. That's in regarding something that you generate it with AI with Firefly, it's the same options you get there. You get more like this. If you like what you see here, you get to create different variations. You can keep the style and generate more options or just keep the subject and maybe switch out the background. When you press on Edit, there is the generative fill that brings you to the remove ad expand brushes that we looked at. There is generative expand. There is edit text and images. It's currently beta, but these text, these are basically what you get to edit. It's going to be edited with AI, of course. If you have regular text like this, it just has your regular options. Color, font, size, alignment, and then you get to download this text alone. We also have these standard things like copy a link to there, cut it, copy, paste, duplicate. Then since we're dealing with various assets in one canvas, these are the positioning them. Right now, you can see this text is placed in front of this black shape, and that's exactly how we're doing it. But if I send it back maybe multiple times, it disappears. Now it's behind the rectangle and therefore not visible to us anymore. Command or Control Z to undo, you can delete them, flip them. Even vertically, and that's about it. The copy link is especially helpful because when you have a board like this and someone you share it with them, they click on it, they get greeted with this huge map. Giving them a specific link to go directly to this particular text is going to be really useful because if you want the person to only pay attention to this part and not the rest of your board, it would be a lot more efficient if you share this link with them. I'm going to copy that link and paste it in a new tab. Now you can see loaded me into this text, so I wasn't brought in like this. But if I share it from here, so the entire board, let me just do anyone with the link copy, paste. Let's see how I'm brought to this board. You can see all zoomed out, tons of things to look at, and that may be a little bit overwhelming, especially if I don't know what the purpose of this board is that's a major difference between the links, while we're here, this is the same layout that you get for any other Adobe firefly interface. You put in an email or the person you want to share it with. Here it shows you who the owner is and if you want to share a link, having it on this option basically means that only the people you've written their emails in here can access this file, but you can also switch over to anyone with the link and then decide on whether they could edit the components or just comment on. Next thing is making another board. An artboard is basically a canvas that you get to make separately. Let's say this artboard is dedicated to the colors and I get to put in a text explaining colors. I like red. Change the color. There we go. Then you can make another artboard for maybe textures. And this way, you're able to keep things organized. With art ports, think of them as shapes. You're able to stretch it out, minimize it, and then rotate it if you want to. Just be mindful of the title over there. You can also type in a specific width and height and then the background color. You can also edit them in Photoshop and Adobe Express, and then we have the same options here. The next thing is your text tool, which you get to simply click and it brings you this text box. Same settings here, you just start typing in. If you change your mind, you get to delete it. But we also have the option for you to stretch it out or use one of these circles to minimize and this circle to rotate. If you hold down Shift, you're able to do it in a more precise manner. When I let go, you can see it's more free form. If you wanted to move something in a straight line because with the move tool, I could click and drag and it's all over the place. But if I wanted to move this element in a straight line, all I have to do is hold down shift. It goes in a straight line, either up or down. These purple lines that show up are basically your guides to ensure that they're evenly spaced from the elements on the side. If you're trying to align everything in one column, this will be extremely helpful. It even shows you the little numbers as to how close or how far you are from that other element. And then just use the backspace key on your keyboard to delete it. The next thing is shapes. We saw a lot of rectangles here, but there's also options for an ellipse and some lines. The way shapes work is that first you choose your shape, click and drag to decide the size. If you want it to be a perfect shape, just hold down shift. Now we get a symmetrical let go, you can see it becomes more free for. You're done, let go, and this is your new shape. You have the option to choose the fill color or the border. I'm going to have to add some width to be able to see the border. If you change your mind, just hit this button, and it's not going to have that outline. You can also download this element as it is. Again, we have the same options as we did with the text and other shapes. Next thing is adding content. This could be things that you upload. It could be a sketch, it could be a photo, a video. You can also add things directly from your Adobe Cloud storage that is linked to your account, whichever you want to do. You're also able to open File Explorer and just click and drag that picture onto the board and not having to do it here. The right side, we already explore the search tab for finding assets that Adobe offers, whether it's an illustration, a photo, a sketch, and there's also different categories you can explore. We have collages, we have cinematic and many more. When you click on them, you place it on Canvas, click to secure the position, and then we have the same options. If you hit Fay and choose more like this, it's going to create different variations of this shape using Firefly. And I get a lot of options. These are all being loaded right now. While it's being loaded, you will notice these little lines. That's basically the spacing between each of these. We make a little gallery, and now you can see Firefly made this many more variation of this shape. Going to just put in something else. Some other options are, again, keeping the style or going to edit, apart from the firefly editing tools, we also have the following partnerships. If you're familiar with any of these, you can go ahead and use them through Firefly. Also convert, so we can make this image to video, which is something we will explore in the next lesson, but it basically animates the static image, maybe by adding some gradients, some slight movements, and that is going to require some additional video credits from your Adobe account. You can remove the background, crop, download, and then of course, we have all the other options. On the side, we have properties. This will only be applicable when you click on something. Let's click on this circle. We're able to transform it by choosing the X and Y coordinates or the width and height, the angle that it can rotate on. You can flip it around, rotate it. This is flipping, horizontal or vertical. The options we had earlier right over here for fill and stroke, I uncheck this, it's not going to have fill or stroke, and then this is the stroke width. When I add it, you can see we're going to get a slight red border. Blend modes are basically how two or more layers blend into each other. For that, you're going to need more than one shape. I will hold down Alter uption, click and drag, then let go to get two circles, and then I'll change one of the colors. If I choose a blend mode to be something other than normal, you can see how we are able to see the other yellow shape through the green shape blend modes are different. Multiply is going to darken and burn the first shape into the second shape where a screen does the opposite. It's basically darker or lighter. We also have opacity for how visible the selected shape is. You can also type in a percentage and I'm just going to put this back to normal. With any other element, those properties are going to be different. I have a photo right over here. You can see that we have the transform and then just not the fill and stroke color because this is no longer a shape. When we go to text, it's the same thing except we get the text options. It's really unique to what you're selecting at the moment. And that way you get to make some finer adjustments. If you're not sure about the numbers, you can always just use your move tool to move things around or use your arrow keys to make very slight movements. So up arrakey to go up, down left, right. If you hold down shift, it's going to move a lot faster. If you let go, it's going to be very slow. Next up, we have generation history, so the things that you have generated so far and then the comments. If anyone clicked on your link game here, they could comment maybe they don't like this text. That way, you're going to be able to read their comment, react to it with either an emoji or just a regular reply, add someone else so you can add their first name if they're added to this board, of course, to give them a notification that you've called them to do something. Can also place a pin to draw attention and when you hit Submit, now that's going to be a comment. So if you click this, that's going to resolve it. You can reply to the comment, edited or delete. So when I hit resolve, it disappears. On the top side, we have the Share button. There's some new features you can learn about with a Discover tab. There's a help and feedback tab, the Zoom, so you can zoom in or out or with the following percentages. And then here are your undo buttons. And if you wanted to make a new board, it's really straightforward. You click on this button, and then you're met with this empty space because now you got to put stuff in there. So you either generate image, video or preset to get started and start brainstorming that big idea. Lastly, you can give your boards a name. And that's going to be saved when you go back to the homepage. So there's my new board. I'm able to open it, share it, rename, duplicate, move it, or put it in a different location. That's pretty much how the board feature works. It's going to be a lot more helpful having this when you're dealing with bigger compositions, if you want to do a lot of editing, blending, such as the class project that we're going to do in a bit. This is going to help you solidify that idea before you even start using your credits to build the images, videos, sound effects, et cetera. 9. Video and Audio: Let's explore Firefl's newest creative tools, which are powerful add ons designed to expand your workflow beyond just regular static images. So when you go over here, we have a whole new video section, which consists of a lot of both voice, video and motion options that you can incorporate into your designs. So just like images, we have text to video. So we're going to put in a prompt and then get a video. Also put in an image and animate that and a bunch of other things. I'm going to go over each one and show you how to work with them and see how that fits into your workflows. Let's explore from the beginning. First of all, it's the model. We have some partnerships here with Google, Gemini, y and of course, Fireflies own model. We have the resolution of the video. The higher it is, the higher the quality is going to be. We have the aspect ratio, just like we did in the images, and then we have frames per second. So how many frames of motion are in 1 second of video? The higher this number, the more high quality it's going to be. But currently, you can't really change that. So it's at 24 frames per second. Lastly, is the duration. So this is set to 5 seconds. We have composition references. This is basically the same thing as the image one. If you want to maybe have the subject in one particular angle, you can upload your image and Firefly will maintain that. Next, we also have a camera reference. If you have a video that you really like the motion of it, let's say there's a certain angle they chose or there's a certain speed that the camera recorded, you can upload that here and it's going to study that motion and apply it to what you're going to make. Next, we have the shot size. You can do close up, medium, long shot or extreme long shot. We have the angle. These are more technical, but you can explore with them. In terms of motion, we're getting a little bit of preview as to what it can do. Then we have some styles pretty self explanatory. Lastly, we have the transparent background option and seed. Seeds are basically a unique set of numbers that describe a certain style. If you want to do something like this, this design with the particular colors, details and all will have a unique set of numbers. Let's say, for example, one, two, three, four. If I wanted to generate a rabbit in this exact same put in the seed number 1234, put in my prompt as the rabbit, and I will get the exact same style. We also have the prompt box right over here, and then we can put in different frames. This could be a video compilation. Yeah, first frame, second frame, and then you can build up maybe a 22nd video just like that. We have the history here, prompt suggestion, and then it tells you how many credits it's going to use. Then of course, the generate. Let's go to image to video. When you click on this, it's going to bring you to the same window, and that's because it's talking about the references right over here. Then there's the generate with background, like a removed background. This is this section. It's just a different button to get there. Then we have some translate video. This is if you want to do multilingual stuff. You put it in and then currently it has 15 languages, and these are the languages that is Next up, we have text to Avatar, which is in parentheses Beta. This is going to let you create your own spokesperson. These are some examples. You tell it's in Beta because there's some weird outlines around each of the characters. But if you plan to do a fun AI experiment, this could be a good place to come. You basically describe the way the Avatar looks. The language, first of all, the accent can give it a Bsework maybe this person or all the other ones. So many options here. Then you can decide on the background. It could be a color or an image of your own. Maybe you want to put your company logo or something, you will do that easily right over there. We have some very basic backgrounds that you could just drag in. Once you're done, you can enter a script for your avatar to say. So if you have a ten minute speech, you just paste the text, it generate, and it's going to make it for you. Once it's done, generate would be here. You get to listen to it, generate another one, and this is where the video is going to be. Next up we have enhanced speech, so this is coming soon, but it's going to remove background noise and isolate the speaker in a cleaner way. Now on top of that, we have audio, which will go well with the video that you've made over here. You can translate different audios into languages, basically brings you back to the same window because this is for audio and video. Next up, we generate sound effects, and then these two are the same thing. Then we have voice to sound effects. Let's start with this one. Sound effects are basically different sound bites that you get to put into a video to emphasize action, a event. Like if there's someone typing on a keyboard in the video, you can create a sound effect of that keyboard sound. The first thing you do is describe the sound. You can decide on the duration. You can add some timings or record your own voice trying to imitate the desired as effects. So if I want a certain bird sound, I could try mimicking that myself into the microphone and fireflies just going to polish it up and make it sound more like a bird. You're done, you get to hit generate. You have a timeline here, which basically we have a playhead so you can go past to a certain second play button. We have mute or unmute. Can also upload your video if you're trying to match that sound effect to that moment that needs the sound effect and see if you want to maybe adjust the duration or add another sound in there. Can also add an audio track. Let's say you want to do a background music, just to see how well this new sound effect is going to play in. And of course, you can clear everything and start from scratch. Then the next thing is voice to sound effect, which is the same thing. This little area is that button. Now for the video features, you do need special credits. This is separate from your Adobe subscription and the credits that you would use to create images because with videos, there's a lot more that goes into it and it does take longer. So you can purchase it there, add it to your account. There's some good deals for you to explore. Lastly, we have some vectors. This pretty straightforward text to vector or generative recolor. If you have a vector and you just want to switch out the colors, vectors are basically two D illustrations, such as this one. It could be a sketch, three D work, comic book style, that sort of thing. This one, you can see does not require me to get more credits. That's pretty much the video features in Adobe Firefly. They're still fairly new, so it's only going to get better from here. You can go ahead and explore them. But for now, we're going to move on to our class project, which is going to deal more with the static aspect of firefly. So the image making compositions, and then taking it into Adobe Express to add some final touches. 10. Class Project: Create a Mini Poster: Welcome to your class project. In this final lesson, we'll combine everything we have learned so far, such as generating images, adding styles and references, using generated fill, expanding and creating complex text. We're going to use all of that information to design a mini poster from start to finish. By the end of this project, you'll have a very polished design ready to download and share as your first composition made with Adobe Firefly. So follow along, open up Firefly, and let's get started. First, we're going to have to create our background image, and that's going to be the basework and we're going to edit that and then add on different elements to it. So right in this box, we're going to type in background. I'm going to go with something nature related. So maybe a serene mountain, like a sunrise, coma, the lighting that I want. And then maybe some mist in there and warm tones. I'm going to hit Enter to generate and then I'll want one that is actually a portrait or actually let's to a vertical one, and I'm going to turn this off just so I could get a photograph. Let's generate. These are still pretty good. We got the mist. We got the warm tones. It's very cinematic indeed. But I do want it to be a vertical shot just like these. These are perfect and it looks really realistic as well. Of course, you guys can go for an illustration just by switching over to art and then generating. If you want to do a specific art, remember that you can use one of the styles to make it either abstract, colored pencils, watercolors. But without any of that, I got a maybe minimal illustration of that. Like that mountain lake. But now I'm going to stick with one of these. Let's choose which one is the best one. I think I really like this one, and we're going to edit it further. When you edit, you have a couple of options. We already looked at generative film, but you can generate similar to get more variations close to this guy. You can use this as a composition reference to make something else or use it as a style reference. Just going to click on Generate similar so I could see what other versions I can look at and then make my final decision. All right. This is the variations. Going to try to hide this guy so we can see this is the original and we got different looks from it. I think I want to stick with the original and try adding in some styles. Let's add this as our composition reference. It's going to be popped right in there. And then down here in Styles, we can go to BrowsGallery and find the photography, landscape section, actually. Choose one of these to enhance the colors. You can see we got some waterfall over here and I really like the dark blue and green. I will use the medium intensity for this, the strength for both. Well, actually, for composition, you want to bring it to the maximum because I don't want it to add any other element. For a good style reference, I'm going to head over to pexels.com and choose an image that has the color grading that I'm looking for. So I'm going to look for lake photography, something similar to what we're dealing with right now. And I'll just go with the one that I like the colors of. You can see there are some pretty good ones here. Just make sure that the elements are in this photo as well, such as the water, the mountain, the sky. And I believe we had some trees, yeah. So, whichever you like, just download it and import it into your firefly. I think I will go with this one. Let's download it. It's by this person, and I'm just borrowing it for my generation. So upload it right over here. Once you have it, we can try experimenting with the strength. I will start with the default, and then we can maybe make one that is a little different. Going to remove the lighting and color since I added the style reference already. All we have is composition to full style to medium. Now you can see that it held that same structure, but it's trying to incorporate that reference image. Now let's try one with the minimum amount of strength just to refine our photo. Okay, so this is looking a lot better. It is a little bit too intense. So I think I will now that I have a little bit of the style added, I'm going to remove the style reference and generate one more time from one of these guys, so generate more. That's going to apply the same prompt, the same references into four other options. If that didn't work, we could go into the one we like and generate more similar to that one. I think this one, actually, this one looks the best in my opinion, what I'll do is go over to this pencil, generate similar. That's going to give us an option to refine one further. It gave us more stones. Think I will stick with this one then. But it's good to see the other options. We have used Fireflies image generation, text to image as step one. Step two, we use the references, either composition or style to fine tune that generation. Third is using generated fill to add or remove things from the image. I will go into this pencil on the image that I like and go to Generate fill. What I want to do is add a little boat somewhere over there, and in terms of removal, I don't think we have anything. Is unnecessary, maybe that white thing. I'm not sure what it is. Let's start with that. Go to remove and remove whatever part of your image that you do not want. That's one part. I'm just zooming in to make sure there's no weird things. I think that was trying to be a cabin or something. Then down here, everything looks fine. There's that piece gone. Perfect. Let's zoom it over here. I'll keep that generation and do the same thing. This part. I don't want anything to be distracting in the background image because the focus is going to be the main text that we're going to put on the image. Sometimes if you see that Firefly is not really catching on, you could grab more of the image just so that it could look at the surroundings and compute something that blends in. Now I have removed every part of the image that I don't want. Now let's add our little boat. I'm going to switch over to insert, choose where I want this boat to be. I think somewhere in the middle would be nice like here. Let's create a nice little space for it. Go and then type in the prompt below. I think I will do a wooden rowboat just so that it makes sense with this environment and then generate. So this looks pretty good. I'm going to hit keep. And notice how by introducing this boat, it sort of brought in this halo effect. You can still use your remove to kind of regenerate a certain part to make that new element fit in. So I'm going to go over that harsh, like, glitch that it had, the remove tool, and then hopefully I will get a smoother reflection like the ones on the side. So actually, this looks like it has a little fishing rod situation, so I'm going to hit Keep so now I have this boat. We got the reflection as well, and it fits perfectly in this big landscape. Now we're going to expand the canvas. Even though I did choose a 16 by nine aspect ratio, I could expand it to zoom out from my mountain even more. Let's go to white screen and just switch the two. Two, five, six, zero, and I'll just paste that first number here. All right, so you can see how much work Firefly needs to do. Let's generate and see our lake scene. There we go. We have some rocks over here. This one looks good. I'm not sure what this is, maybe a piece of trash, but I'll go with the second one and then click on Keep. Now we have more rocks. We have an extension of the mountains, and then the sky, I think I will introduce more clouds. Let's grab a nice region and type in clouds. Just keep going back and forth until your image is exactly the way you want it, and then it's going to be a good base for you to add new things on there. So there's the clouds, got some options. I think this looks good. And then press key. Once you're happy with your background image, all you have to do is download it. Now we're going to go into Adobe Express just by switching over here, and I'm going to upload my background image with this button. You have some options. You can either edit the image, remove the background or add it to a new design. If you click on Edit Image, basically, this is going to be your background. I have some editing options over here, but I also have access to all of the regular Adobe Express tools. What I'm going to do is grab a text and just put in inspirational quote, I guess, start your journey. Command A, let's center it, make it bold. Click away and then use the guides to make sure it's in the middle, and I'll do another one down here. So hold down Alt option shift, click and drag. So we have two very basic looking texts, and we're going to enhance them with generative fill. So before that, I just want to make sure that I have a good base for Adobe firefly to work with. So I'm just gonna highlight everything, make it bold, and then make sure the size is what I want. So maybe like 240, the same thing down here. Just type it in. And I think that's looking pretty good. Now let's go let's grab one of them and then go over to effects. There are some pre made effects like shadows and all that, but we have some generative effext effects. You could try some of the options here, such as this one, I'm not sure what that is. I think it's snow and this one looks like a glass effect. You can see it starts to work on your text. Let me just zoom in here. Curious to see what this one is. Misspell Journey. There we go. Now we have this disco ball situation. It's looking pretty fun. But if you want to do a different style, you can just do that with this pencil. Instead of disco ball, it's type in glass. Let's see if we can do that. We can customize the text. So any of these options, I'm going to stick to medium and then choose your style. Since I'm choosing glass, it has to be realistic and there are some inspirations as well. Um, let's see, gold drip, balloon. I guess balloon is a good option. Let me look at balloon first. I think glass is something we should explore first. Glass, medium, realistic, let's generate. And then down here, you have some options as to how your glass looks. To go with this fourth one. You can also generate more. We got some a pattern class. I go to go over to balloon. I think that would be an interesting one. This fourth option has more contrast. I'll choose that one, just let firefly generate the effect. Going back, I'm going to add in some shadows. We have different types. Let's try lift. Then you can edit it to work with the intensity. Maybe customized would be better. Definitely more blur, and I think the color is fine, actually. Play around with the angle. There we go. So now I'm going to just repeat the same thing with my other text. I'm just going to check real quick for color of my balloon. So you can just switch it here. I think, like a yellow color would stand out better. So let's do yellow three D printed balloon in the same style down below. It already preserves the shadow effect that we had. Okay, so that's a lot better. It kind of matches the gold that we have on top with the mountains. Now what you can do is just go to the three dots, copy style, and then paste it here. So right click Paste a style. And then because we're dealing with different letters, we do have to just redo the balloon part. So I'll go to balloon and just hit yellow in the same settings, really. I think this is the one. Yellow. There is our magic link message, and we even have one at the top. Those are the more complex text effect. You can play around with different textures, maybe add in some more. But what we're going to do now is do some final adjustments. So I do want a nice border, and I just need to go over two elements, grab a shape and put it on top. Let's go to rectangles and at a border, like a white one, remove the fill, and I want to do a rectangular frame. Let's go ahead and increase that border 40. Round the corners, there are some styles here as well if you wanted to explore. Now I'm just going to go over in the corner. And fit this to the size of my image. Make sure it's centered. I'll go with this one. It looks cool, but I'm going to make it a little tiny. Once again, make sure it's in the middle. Changing the style can alter the position. Be careful with that one. Next up, we could add some overall elements. This is where the layers are showcased by the way. I'm now going to head down to elements again, and I think we could go for another shape, maybe a half circle just to show it try to do a logo, maybe. And for the color, I could use the eyedropper to grab some of that yellow color. Click away, and there is my shape, like to replace one of the eyes. And that is it. Your firefly powered mini poster is now complete. So just make sure you review your layout and everything aligned using the guides. And then when you're satisfied, you just click on Download. Choose the format. PNG will give you the highest resolution, but you can go for the other stuff if you want to print or share it online. I will stick with a PNG. Then choose the size. The higher the sizes, obviously, the heavier the file is going to be, but if you do choose to print this, make sure you're choosing the correct size, you can also order prints with Adobe. That's an option you can explore. I'm just going to stick with the default and download my image. Here's my final product. You just created a complete piece using every major firefly feature. We started from generating, then styling to editing, we expanded the image and finally added some text effects and a border in Adobe Express. Well done, I hope you guys are satisfied with your pieces and I can't wait to see. 11. Congratulations! What’s next?: Congratulations. You just completed the Adobe Firefly fundamentals, design AI images and creative typography class. In the course, you learned how to generate AI images, refine them with the insert, remove and expand tool, and then put it all together into one big composition. Now it's your turn. For the class project, I'd like you guys to build a mini poster or a visual composition using everything that we have learned. Start with a simple prompt, build up on it with some reference or composition reference, edit it with some of the tools with the generative film, and then finally add some text to bring it all together. You're happy with the result, upload it into the class Project Gallery, make sure to have your prompt there so your classmates can see how you came about making that design, and I will be checking the gallery from time to time just to see how well you guys are doing and provide some feedback. If you enjoyed creating with Firefly, make sure to follow me on Skillshare. Thank you for joining me in this journey, and I hope to see you guys in the next lessons where we see what else is possible with Adobe Firefly.
