These are a few notes I took while going through the self-paced course on the Adobe Education Exchange.
- Adobe believes Generative AI can boost anyone’s creative confidence by removing barriers between you and the blank page.
- Enter prompts in over 100 languages.
- Adobe Firefly for Generative AI is both stand-alone and embedded in Adobe apps
- Two ways to start: 1) Scroll down on home page to the text-to-image area, 2) Click the plus sign—choose text to image
- Type the text prompt, complete sentences are not needed.
- Three things you can do to improve the image: 1) Edit the text [but include original prompt—this is not a chat box], 2) Curate the content type [Photo, graphic or art], 3) Refine the style— there are buttons for image styles you might not be familiar with
- Add text, choose Text Effects for Generative AI, and enter a text prompt
Terminology
- Creativity—the ability to create something new, unique and valuable (also the goal of Gen AI).
- Natural language prompts
- Diffusion models—datasets of millions of labeled images. Images are turned into super-pixelated noise, then turned back into high resolution images.
- Random seed—use the same prompt 100 times and get 100 different results.
- Adobe depends on Adobe Stock images—thousands of high-resolution images
Use Effective prompts
- Slide presentations—If you get lots of images based on your theme, maybe save several for use on additional slides.

Using Gen AI responsibly
- Adobe’s Generative AI is based on Adobe Stock high-resolution images, public domain images and openly licensed content, including content where the copyright has expired. Safe for commercial use. It won’t create content based on other people’s brands or intellectual property.
- Content Authenticity Initiative—over 1500 companies and members in the creative sector. It ensures all Firefly (Generative AI) output has secure metadata showing the origin and how/when it was edited. Those credentials travel with the content. To see credentials verify.contentauthenticity.org.
