Fine-Tuning Your Results

Adjust Your Text Prompt

• Be more specific: Instead of “a cat”, try “a fluffy orange tabby cat sitting on a windowsill”.
• Add details: Mention colors, textures, lighting, or mood.
• Use descriptive adjectives: “Vibrant”, “moody”, “serene”, or “chaotic” can greatly influence the output.
• Experiment with different phrasings: Sometimes, rewording your prompt can yield better results.

Try Different Content Types

• Photoshop offers various content types like “Photo” or “Art”.
• Each type produces a different style of image.
• Test different types to see which best fits your vision.
• Combine content types in your prompt for unique effects.

Experiment with Style and Effects Options

• Use the Style tab to upload reference images.
• This helps Firefly AI match the color palette and overall look of your reference.
• Try different effects like “Cinematic”, “Vintage”, or “Neon” to add flair.
• Adjust the strength of these effects to fine-tune the result.

Iterate and Refine

• Generate multiple versions of your image.
• Compare results and note what works best.
• Use the “Generate Similar” option to create variations of a promising result.
• Combine elements from different generations in Photoshop for the perfect image.
