Adobe has introduced Structure Reference, a feature within its Adobe Firefly generative AI models, aimed at enhancing creative flexibility for commercial use
This feature allows users to generate new images by utilizing the structural composition of an existing image. It streamlines the creative process by reducing the need for precise prompt formulation.
Streamlining Creative Workflows
With the introduction of Structure Reference, users can easily modify images based on the layout of an existing photo or sketch. For instance, if a user wants to redesign a room, they can upload an image of the current room, enter a text prompt describing the desired style (e.g., “mid-century modern with bright colors”), and quickly generate design ideas that meet these criteria without the need for repeated trial and error.
Integration with Style Reference
Structure Reference complements another feature in Firefly’s Text to Image module, Style Reference, which applies the artistic style of one image to another based on a user’s prompt. This dual capability enables users to both replicate the structure and apply a specific style to their images, facilitating rapid and versatile image creation.
Functionality and Applications
The Structure Reference feature utilizes the generative AI capabilities of Adobe Firefly to adapt the structure of one image to create a new one. This function is versatile, allowing for the redesign of spaces, conversion of children’s drawings into polished images, alteration of an image’s style (from artistic to realistic and vice versa), coloring of black and white images, and creation of new subjects while retaining the original structure.
This tool provides significant benefits for creators seeking to modify the atmosphere of images quickly, marketers needing to produce a range of consistent visual assets, and designers who wish to generate images using specific structures efficiently.
