About the Settings
Firefly can generate beautiful visuals simply by entering text prompts, but for even greater accuracy, the image condition settings described below can be used to get closer to the ideal result.Here is a brief overview of the settings.
General Settings
General Settings include Model and Aspect Ratio.The model can be Firefly Image2 or Firefly Image3; Firefly Image3 has improved image quality and prompt comprehension.Aspect Ratio.
You can choose from the following four aspect ratios.For other sizes, you can use Adobe Express or other software to create a time size to suit your needs.
Content Type
You may choose between art andphotography as your content type.If you have a clear idea of which type you want, select it.If not, automatic setting is fine.
Composite
Composite is an image that uses the shape and outline of a referenced image to create an image.You can use the default gallery or upload your own images.When uploading images, you must make sure that you have the permissions to do so.
As an example, we have generated an image by referring to the left image below in the gallery image.The prompt is the following text as previously described.
A cozy cabin in the woods on a snowy winter night with smoke rising from the chimney.
You can see that the house looks like a stack of books, unlike the huts generated so far.There is also a bar to set the intensity of the image, so you can set how close it should be to the reference image.
Style
When a style item is set, an image is generated based on the coloring and other descriptive elements of the reference image.As with compositing, you can either refer to the default gallery or upload your own images for use.When uploading images, you need to make sure that you have the permissions to do so.
As an example, the image below left image in the gallery image was used as a reference to generate the image.
As with compositing, there are bars for setting the amount andintensity ofvisual application, so you can set how close to the reference image you want the image to be.
In my impression of using the visual application amount, it is difficult to distinguish how the image has been changed, so I felt that it would be better to lower the priority level of the parameter to be changed.
Strength is the same concept as for compositing, and is a setting for how closely the shape and contours of the style reference image are brought into the image.The stronger the intensity, the closer to the composition of the reference image.
Let’s organize the generated images with the following settings for composition and style.The amount of visual application is set to the default standard setting.Since the intensity of the style is less influential than the intensity of the composite, it may be better to think mainly of references in the composite when referring to shapes and contours.
At this time the prompt shows the condition being referenced.You can check if the effect is duplicated here, or you can cancel it on this screen.
There are also other settings for effects, which are introduced in a separate article.By making good use of the effects, you will be able to generate more ideal images.
