Experiment with off-the-wall ideas, ideate around different concepts, and produce dozens of variations in a snap using Generative Fill in Adobe Firefly.

  • Add visual interest and improve the aesthetics. For example, you can add a flower to a vase or a tree to a landscape.
  • Create more realistic images. For example, you can add a person to a landscape photo, a hiker to a mountain photo, or a couple to a beach photo.
  • Fix missing people or things. For example, you can add an image of a dog to a family photo.
  • Add fun and creativity. For example, you can add a cartoon to a photo.
  • Check how your dress will look in a different color by changing the color of your dress in a picture.
  • Make your pictures stand out more. For example, you can change the color of a flower in a landscape photo.

Here are some sample prompts you could try:

  • Cozy fireplace, casting a warm and inviting glow
  • Vintage bicycle leaning against the wall
  • Colorful beach umbrellas and lounges
  • Bluebird perched on a branch
  • Vibrant hot air balloons
