Structure Reference enables users to easily apply the structure of an existing image to newly generated images. You can now use an existing image as a structural reference template and generate multiple image variations with the same layout. With this, we’ve eliminated the trial and error process of having to write the perfect prompt to get an output that matches your imagination.
By combining Structure Reference with Adobe’s Style Reference — another Firefly capability in the Text to Image module, which takes a style reference image and applies it to your prompt — you can reference both the structure and style of an image to quickly bring your ideas to life. These features combine to give deliver a new level of creative control and state-of-the-art visual quality.
Here are a few fun and mind-blowing ways you can use the Firefly-powered Structure Reference capability in the Text to Image module:
- Redesign an entire room with the click of a button by uploading a picture or sketch of an existing room and hitting ‘generate’.
- Turn a children’s drawing into a cool image or change the style of an image — from painting to photorealistic or vice versa. Truly bring drawings to life by making them photorealistic with added depth, texture, lighting, color and other elements.
- Colourise black and white images and line drawings, and create a totally new subject that has nothing to do with the reference image, while keeping the same structure.
With Structure Reference, creators can easily modify work, marketers can generate a variety of on-brand images to use across a campaign, and designers easily create an image layout, as well as the structure and pose of a subject, without needing to find the perfect text prompt.
The Power of Firefly for Ideation to Creation
We built Firefly from the ground up for direct integration into creative workflows so that you can go immediately from ideation and experimentation to creation. Over the year, we’ve natively embedded Firefly capabilities directly into Adobe Creative Cloud applications across Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Express, Adobe Illustrator and Substance 3D. Our mission with Firefly is to develop world-class models across imaging, vectors, fonts, audio, video, 3D and more that will enhance your workflows in our products.
Adobe’s responsible approach to AI
Adobe is committed to developing generative AI responsibly with creators at the centre, with world-class models that enhance creative workflows — which is why Content Credentials are automatically attached to all Firefly-generated outputs. Adobe founded the Content Authenticity Initiative (CAI) in 2019 to help increase transparency in the digital ecosystem by promoting wide adoption of provenance tools like Content Credentials, free, open-source technology that serves as a nutrition label for online content. CAI has grown to about 2,500 members of leading tech and media companies, camera manufacturers, news publishers, creative professionals, researchers and more.
The Firefly generative AI models were trained on licensed content, such as Adobe Stock, and public domain content where copyright has expired. Firefly models are designed to be safe for commercial use, and Adobe offers businesses the opportunity to obtain IP indemnification.
The New Structure Reference capabilities are available today in the Firefly web application for free and paid subscribers.
