How to Get Started with Adobe Firefly (Beta)

[@techguyfun]

Loved the fact that the content is curated from Adobe owned resources and open source and openly licensed content. Well thought out to avoid potential future legal liability and touches on the ethics of using others content without their permission. Well done Adobe.

[@MarkusEicher70]

Thanks for the short intro, Terry. A truly amazing tool and when it is integrated into the Creative Suite family, that will be awesome. 🔥

[@supergolfdude]

I’m excited to try this! And Terry, you are the all time go-to guy for adobe. 👍🏻

[@TimHuff5]

Hey Terry, looking good my friend, nice preview! Can't wait to get the preview.

[@TraceyE-h8h]

Of all the presentations recently, I just want to say I absolutely love yours and this product too.

[@TerryLeeWhite]

Thank you!

[@MC-rc9fs]

I am so excited about this. Can't wait to play with it. I'm really happy that the Adobe community and developers are paying close attention to copyright issues with this tech. I think that is going to become a major issue with other platforms that have a much wider, un-curated training data set. Thanks for that diligence. Along those same lines, is there a place where we can read up on what usage rights we, as creators, will be entitled to after generating images? Thanks, Terry!

[@endyoursearch]

Terry been watching your indesign tutorials since back in the days at Photoshopworld ! Keep up the amazing work my friend! Can't wait to be accepted in the beta!

[@hannablom5803]

Such a good development of Adobe!! So exciting. Will Firefly be included for paying CC members, without extra cost? And when is it planned for the "final" version to be released? Thanks for all of your good videos! 🌸

[@KennethGreenCMP]

Big THANKS for the intro. I can't wait to use it.

[@JohnPretto]

Hmmm, Queen Chess Pieces generally do NOT have crosses. The King has a cross on it. Moreover, the three pieces on the right appear to be a hybrid KING/Queen showing features of both.

[@justey2]

Can't wait to get my hands on it, I applied ~8h after it came out so hopefully soon!

[@amptransformers2257]

I did the same thing! I am hoping it is not that long of a wait to get accepted! 😅

[@sodakhanart]

9 hours for me. Best of luck to you!

[@erik1836]

I enjoy your videos very much. You make them fun and engaging. Can't wait to have true access to using this as part of Photoshop etc.

[@IIIlIIIllIl]

Whoa, whoa, WHOAAAAA - One of my favorite educators, Terry White, teaching about my favorite topics, AI!!!!!!!!!!!! This video made my day - thank you.

[@melissal7984]

Thank-you so much for sharing this Terry! It's very exciting...I hope that they go out of beta soon so that we can use their images for commercial use.

[@martinpitt4075]

Thank you for this demo. I think any user has to be careful about the accuracy of the resulting images because the chess piece of the “queen” was a “king” instead. This is a mistake by Firefly. The 1920’s camera depicted, is a fantasy camera with a Steampunk styling in all of the renderings not really 1920 style. I think Firefly could have shown a camera with a bellows behind the lens which was typical of the 1920s. I understand why this software is beta at this time. Thanks again for making this video.

[@RandyJayBraun]

Is this exciting, or what? Well done, Mr. White.

[@DrewKav]

Loving Adobe Firefly!

[@brentkingstonphotography4615]

Very interesting - I have already applied for access - now I must be patient 👍🏻

[@mehdi888]

Looks amazing for our comic and illustration projects. Hope prompting is good enough about grammar to get what ever we want. We struggle in other AI generator to get the right things(color for exemple) in the right subject, if you see what i mean.

[@andyrcampbell]

like that you asked for a queen and you got a king !!!

[@TerryLeeWhite]

Good catch. Lol.

[@andyrcampbell]

@@TerryLeeWhite 😂 - Absolutely LOVE your videos Terry

[@RoadTripTravel]

Have you heard about when text to video will be available?

[@ReneFranceschi]

Excellent, i can't wait to test !

[@alexisacostagdn]

I'm really excited to try it but Adobe hasn’t allowed me yet, I sent my request three days ago. How long does it take to get an approval? By the way, I’m a CC user.

[@girliedog]

will this be included in our Adobe suite?

[@Mich6961]

oml I'm itching to try this out. I registered yesterday. How long does it usually take to gain access?

[@VEGANWARRIOR]

Wow...game changer!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I've been waiting for my email for a minute now. Thanks for the review.

[@DarrenSmith501911]

This is going to be great, like all the other apps

[@joshuakuberka4008]

That was not a Queen; it was a King!

[@simplepixel5617]

So, as a person that follows you since 2012 and considers you my first teacher in Illustrator, , my question would be: Should I be scared of this AI as a logo designer on a short or long term?

[@SLcreativeheart]

Needs an art director - 1920's camera latte.

[@marassisportsinc.9195]

You’re very honest.

[@charrski2918]

Wow - how freakin cool is this!

[@waldoh027]

thank you.. this is going to be great!!

[@manubonfy]

Why when i go in text to image i get a white screen? It doesn't loading anything

[@MargoB115]

You're Awesome!

[@Andreasilva-fb2gx]

Thank you!

[@georgebaragan]

Waiting in line to get access 😀

[@colinweir5807]

My granddaughter is going to love this. Is there a price yet ?

[@TerryLeeWhite]

No pricing yet.

[@BCLAgentur]

It looks mega!

[@aymanraouf1820]

Is this built in on Illustrator? My struggle is to export the firefly image into illustrator. It puts Firefly logo etc. Or if there is a way to export it as a vector?

Thanks for your feedback, but i definitively don't understand how to access the beta, i already request access, received then an email to try it, but canno do anythin, when i click on generate as you, it drives me on the video showing me firefly, really not clear, if you may help ? Thanks in advance ;)

[@diedigitalestadt3408]

Thank you.

[@jorr1334]

I am wondering how long it takes to receive access once signed up to Firefly? The sign up said they would be sending access over time....

[@ziaphotography2056]

Thank you :)

[@TheNewDawnLeadership]

Thank you for this video! I am not sure if it's my age, the amount of ways I use the suite, or how long I have had it, but I was excepted almost immediately. While updating the changes to the first program, I decided to cancel it for two reasons. 1) Anything you create can not be used for commercial use (yeah, I don't have the time to learn and then unlearn things). 2) What's going to happen to real people that can create art from inspiration?

[@wellteazm]

Cheers for the Video, great. When I click onto 'Generate' I come back into the 'Get started with Adobe Firefly'-Window.. Why? AH.. it takes 24 hours to get Access! Doesn't say this here :-( cheers

[@oldnepalihippie]

looks great - ship it! i wonder what this does to Adobe stock subs? Do they go away? Ha.

[@hamedbelho3842]

thank you

[@brentkingstonphotography4615]

I have found that Firefly is awesome at landscapes but is not so flash at people - it frequently produces figures with monstrous faces and hands - how does one create “beautiful people”, consistently?

[@TerryLeeWhite]

People remain a work in progress for all Gen AI engines. The best way to improve it is to always report your successes and failures with the thumbs up and thumbs down. The engineers will take your feedback and update our Firefly engine.

[@IamPatholt]

That is amazing.

[@dashingbooks3436]

Terry, your tutorials helped me so much with PS, I hope you will have tutorials for this, too.

[@cameraman655]

So long stock photography, it's been a hell of a ride since 1982....

[@liat171]

im trying to download the image i've created and nothing happend why is that? also is the image suitable for print and for commercial use?

[@SumarliiAsgeirsson]

Waiting for access for a week now !

[@Malek2hb]

❤

[@amptransformers2257]

How long from the time you request access until you are accepted? Is there an estimate?

[@TerryLeeWhite]

They are going through them as quickly as possible.

[@thebluriam]

Power!

[@Pietro2o]

Hi, I have access to adobe firefly but I'm not able to download the images I create. How can I solve? Thank you!

[@TerryLeeWhite]

What happens when you click the download button?

[@Pietro2o]

@@TerryLeeWhite Nothing :( Thanks for the reply!

[@anntracy51]

How do you bring your own images into it?

[@j.p.madsen6693]

Hi, I've tried many times now and can't get in, don't know what's wrong.😥

[@protonprotonfix5749]

Hi Terry. What confuses me a bit is this: that I can sign-in with my existing Adobe account … but can not do anything. I’ve already requested the Beta access, of course. But what’s the deal of login in with my Adobe account if it doesn’t give me some features to try?

[@viddeyo]

same deal here - just to make it more confusing I requested access a few days ago, from a page that did not ask for my adobe id (which I have)

[@bySterling]

Still waiting for my acceptance!

[@aktiviteiten352]

by invite only ... even i am an creative cloud member ...

[@Sweden2023]

Works on my Iphone 14 but not on my pc Windows 10 - strange!

[@KennethBSmith]

WOW1 ❤

[@StephaneDesnault]

The chess "queens" are actually kings ?

[@TerryLeeWhite]

Yep. It got them wrong. It’s a beta.

[@myinternetzoo]

I can't access the prompt?

[@ioakimtopuria]

Looks cool, but it will reduce jobs for graphic designers, illustrators, photographers, 3D artists...and it's definitely not cool.

[@STILLWILLPHOTO]

It will definitely lessen the value of commodity designers. I'm not worried.

[@ArsPraestigium]

I have had an Adobe account for decades, and just tried three times to sign-in to the Beta access, and I keep getting tossed back to the first page. Wish I had time for this, but don't. Looks like I'll be sticking with Midjourney.

[@bykez4rhil]

Is AI going to eventually replace composting?

[@TerryLeeWhite]

I would say compositors will use AI to fill in the pieces they need.

[@nunoalmeida7170]

@Terry "The prompt was accurately interpreted?" NOOOOOOOOOOO! It created a KING!!!!!

[@TheBillaro]

When I go into 'generate' i just get a video.....

[@TerryLeeWhite]

Did you sign up to the beta?

[@TheBillaro]

@@TerryLeeWhite had to watch the video first. then it worked! thank you kindly!

[@SD_Alias]

Wow, looks good. Please speak a little bit slower. Not native english listeners here… ;)

[@TerryLeeWhite]

will do. Also note that KZbin lets you adjust the playback speed to slow it down.

[@SD_Alias]

@@TerryLeeWhite Ah, yes i forgot that option… Thank you…

[@redwinmedia]

1:03 "which of course we have the rights to" 🤔

[@BBAMEG]

I went to try it and apparently I have to wait for an invite? I thought you just sign in and go.

[@jelliotharris]

Terry, It seems to put me on a waiting list rather than going right in.

[@TerryLeeWhite]

there is a wait. Once approved you'll get an email.

[@georgekenner6588]

I am a cc subscriber.. you waisted my time getting me all hot to try it , I get there and it does not work , I have to apply to enter the beta! Works about as good as PP..

[@nobel_lion217]

Don't like it. That is not m y idea of true Creativity. I'm a creative, and I feel as though I would be cheating my own raw skills by using something like this. I can already create what that AI is generating from scratch.

[@coneheadjill]

I sent in my request about 3 days ago, still have not heard back

[@TerryLeeWhite]

It shouldn’t be too much longer.

[@coneheadjill]

@@TerryLeeWhite Finally got my approval today. So it took two weeks.

[@mr.feggeler8533]

[@chris_noswe]

Now, where's the dislike button... #ArtByHumans #NoAI

[@nev-dd9jq]

Agreed, however there are lot of turkeys on here happy to vote for Christmas.

[@nev-dd9jq]

So Adobe are supporting artists, designers, creatives..... by creating AI that will literally destroy artists, designers, creatives

[@TerryLeeWhite]

AI will exist whether Adobe does it or not. AI is like any other technology. It's a tool. Good designers will still exist. I remember when typesetters thought it was the end of the world when desktop publishing came out. If you know typography you use a computer now instead of a $50,000 typesetter. Good design and art is good design and art.

[@nev-dd9jq]

@@TerryLeeWhite I guess Adobe are your paymasters and you'll be richly rewarded for pumping whatever they churn out, however it's disappointing that you're advocating this shit over the craft of art, design & photography. Whilst it's technologically impressive, it's another nail in the coffin of creativity. Push a button and it's done.

[@nev-dd9jq]

@BigScotty Wasn't talking to you 'BigScotty'

[@TerryLeeWhite]

@@nev-dd9jq what a very pessimistic view of your craft. Aren't you better than a "button?" Are you so easily replaced?

[@RighteousEvils]

A real creative will only be enhanced. All the people making the super impressive ai art that really scares u were already artists. Some people might lose "jobs" but in my experience real artists dislike "jobs" and do them out of neccessity. All this ai will create more entrepeneurs. We're not too far off from a creative being able to be a studio unto himself and compete with the big money! How is that destructive?
