Using Adobe Firefly's New Structure Reference and Style Reference
TLDRIn this informative video, Steve from Photoshop Essentials introduces two new features in Adobe Firefly: Structure Reference and Style Reference. Structure Reference allows users to control the composition of generated images by using an existing image as a guide, ensuring elements like size, location, and pose are consistent. Style Reference, on the other hand, enables the matching of an image's visual style, including colors, lighting, and mood, to the generated image. The tutorial demonstrates how to use these features by uploading reference images, adjusting sliders for strength and visual intensity, and generating new images that combine the desired structure and style. The result is a more refined and stylized output that aligns with the user's creative vision. Steve also provides tips on improving results by adjusting aspect ratios and content types, making this a valuable resource for Firefly users seeking to enhance their image generation process.

π¨ Using Structure and Style References in Adobe Firefly
In this segment, Steve from Photoshop Essentials introduces the viewer to Adobe Firefly's new features, Structure Reference and Style Reference. He demonstrates how to use an existing image as a guide for the composition and visual style of Firefly-generated images. The process involves signing into the Firefly website, selecting the 'text to image' module, and entering a prompt. Steve chooses a retro science fiction theme and uses the Structure Reference feature to match the composition of his astronaut and rocket ship to a reference image. He also adjusts settings like aspect ratio and content type to achieve a photorealistic image. The Style Reference feature is then used to apply a retro look to the generated images, with sliders for Visual Intensity and Strength to fine-tune the style application.
π Enhancing Firefly-Generated Images with Advanced Settings
Steve continues by explaining the advanced settings available in Adobe Firefly for enhancing the generated images. He discusses the importance of choosing the right reference images for both structure and style, and how the uploaded images influence the final output. The Style Reference allows matching the colors, lighting, and mood of the chosen image, while the Structure Reference ensures the composition aligns with the user's desired outcome. Steve also highlights the ability to adjust the Visual Intensity and Strength sliders to control the intensity of the generated image and the closeness of the style match, respectively. He concludes by generating a more detailed and dramatic image with the sliders set to higher values, achieving a result that closely matches the desired retro science fiction style while maintaining the composition from the Structure Reference image.
