What’s a great creative challenge?
What fun games make you feel more connected with friends?
What’s the “Why” (not just the “What” & “How”) at the heart of generative imaging?

These are some of the questions we’ve been asking ourselves as we seek out some delightful, low-friction ways to get folks creating & growing their skills. To that end I had a ball joining my teammates Candice, Beth Anne, and Gus for a Firefly livestream a couple of weeks ago, engaging in a good chat with the audience as we showed off some of the weirder & more experimental ideas we’ve had. I’ve cued up this vid to roughly the part where we get into those ideas, and I’d love to hear your thoughts on those—or really anything in the whole conversation. TIA!

Easing into the week with fun cultural detritus + Photoshop magic… 😌

What’s new with Adobe Firefly?

Firefly can now support prompts in over 100 languages. Also, the Firefly website is now available in Japanese, French, German, Spanish, and Brazilian Portuguese, with additional languages to come.

How are the translations of prompts done?

Support for over 100 languages is in beta and uses machine translation to English provided by Microsoft Translator. This means that translations are done by computers and not manually by humans.

What if I see errors in translations or my prompt isn’t accurately translated?

Because Firefly uses machine translation, and given the nuances of each language, it’s possible certain generations based on translated prompts may be inaccurate or unexpected. You can report negative translation results using the Report tool available in every image.

Can I type in a prompt in another language in the Adobe Express, Photoshop, and Illustrator beta apps?

Not at this time, though this capability will be coming to those apps in the future.

Which languages will the Firefly site be in on 7/12?

We are localizing the Firefly website into Japanese, French, German, Spanish, Brazilian Portuguese and expanding to others on a rolling basis.

On the extremely off chance that you (or more likely, someone you know) is new to Firefly, check out this handy intro speed run from evangelist Paul Trani:

I had a ball chatting last week with Farhad & Faraz on the Bad Decisions Podcast. (My worst decision was to so fully embrace vacation that I spaced on when we were supposed to chat, leaving me to scramble from the dog park & go tear-assing home to hop on the chat. Hence my terrible hair, which Farhad more than offset with his. 😌) We had a fast-paced, wide-ranging conversation, and I hope you find it valuable. As always I’d love to hear any & all feedback on what we’re doing & what you need.

If you enjoyed yesterday’s session with Tomasz & Lisa, I think you’ll really dig this one as well:
