Exploring the possibilities
This lesson is only an introduction to the power of Firefly generative AI. As you learn to use it, you’ll probably think of more ways to use it to brainstorm, visualize, and possibly create finished art.
Remember that generative AI doesn’t have to be completely synthetic. You can combine it with other images and photographs in Photoshop, and you can generate AI images where your own creativity still comes through. For example, you can apply a Reference Image of your work to a prompt, or you can generate an image and then stylize it yourself using Photoshop brushes as you did in Lesson 10. Have fun!
ABOUT NEURAL FILTERS
Neural Filters are similar to generative AI but are more constrained and focused on specific tasks. To use them, choose Filter > Neural Filters. A list of filters appears; none is applied until you enable the toggle switch for a filter. It may be necessary to download some filters before using them. When a filter is enabled and selected, its options appear to the right of the filter list, and a large preview is to the left of the filter list. Some examples of Neural Filters are:
Smart Portrait can do things like change a smile or which ways eyes are looking.
Photo Restoration can quickly remove defects such as dust, creases, and scratches, and enhance old portraits.
Harmonization can help visually blend layers to look more consistent.
Super Zoom can apply AI upscaling to create a higher resolution enlargement from a low resolution source image, with better quality than traditional upsampling.
At the bottom of the Neural Filters dialog box, the Output menu lets you use the results in different ways, such as a rendered layer, a Smart Filter, or a new document.
Neural Filters can be a lot of fun to play with, and may help you solve specific image editing challenges.
