Adobe Firefly

Getting Started with Adobe Firefly

Adobe Firefly is built into a variety of Adobe products, so your educational institution may have a subscription to it.

  • While the other models such as DALL-E and Midjourney have been unclear about the source images that they used to train their AIs, Adobe has declared that it is only using images it has the right to use.
  • Adobe also offers several editing tools to customize their AI-generated images. 

Here is an example of the photo output from Adobe Firefly, from the following prompt: "dinner plate with meatballs and spaghetti, with a glass of wine, on a picnic table near the ocean, with seagulls in the sky as the sun sets"
