please let this google collab work for once

[mighty aspen]

Everybody in mode FOMO in 4,3,2.....

[oak sphinx]

thanks - I missed that in the faq

[honest quiver]

A lot of people have applied, see the latest information in #announcements , as long as you have submitted the form, are over 18 and have used your Adobe ID to sign up, patience you must have. @weak wren

[austere bough]

if it works then ik what I did wrong in my previous attempts

[plucky sonnet]

Adobe folks, for those of us in and creating art, what do you want from us? Is our primary function as testers to identify where the AI is having issues with prompts aka the thumbs down?

[austere bough]

I am sure they appreciate feedback

[weak wren]

I understand the popularity of Firefly, my area is now 11 a.m., and I still stick to the website to keep refreshing😭

[austere bough]

lol

[sharp belfry]

They have a section for features an ideas on here. You can submit them if you have one.

[austere bough]

I actually couldn't stay in bed till 10am like usually to much excited

[plucky sonnet]

Submitted my first one a few minutes ago!

[solid jasper]

Probably just wait for the email or you might wear out your F5 key. :D

[lone rose]

yes, I think it is important to give feedback not only on the good results but more importantly the bad results so it can learn from this

[pine stirrup]

During this Beta, feedback is the most important part, yes. The 👍👎 feature is an easy way to help the team understand where there are still issues. But for us it is equally important to just chat with you all here. Let us know what you like and what could be done better.

[wise quest]

The F5 will learn what i means to be as abused as some wasd keys are.

[weak wren]

I'm impatient!

[lone rose]

hands and limbs could be done better

[austere bough]

is there a feedback tool for the AI for personal favors? so the AI learns what you prefer? or nah

probabaly not since everything is in the cloud

[lone rose]

I don't know if the thumbs up is for that or not

[pine stirrup]

https://giphy.com/gifs/spongebob-cartoon-nickelodeon-thumbs-3o7absbD7PbTFQa0c8

[austere bough]

maybe, but I am talking more advanced

[lone rose]

could suggest it as a future feature

[austere bough]

yep, but how to phrase it properly tho

[weak wren]

I had to go to bed and hopefully tomorrow morning I would be able to use the fireflies, good night from China, although maybe everyone just got up!

[austere bough]

it's afternoon for me

[plucky sonnet]

Be prepared for a million suggestions I'm almost positive you guys are already well underway on behind the scenes.

[hybrid junco]

listening 👂

[plucky sonnet]

I'll be on the forum!

[lone rose]

I've been up since midnight here so around 15 hours so far, most of that entering prompts

[austere bough]

just finish running already(talking to this stupid google collab cel)

[weak wren]

Unbelievable! Work better with a good rest!🤨

Mainly I have tried most of the AI painting tools so far, but they are not very satisfactory to me and do not help me very well. But some of the Firefly advertised were very appealing to me, so I was eager to experience them!

[slim lion]

Good morning, friends!

[keen mason]

@static wharf This server does not support prompts, please read #faq

[pine stirrup]

see, the bot works 😮

[tiny moss]

good morning !

[cloud widget]

Woop woop, we got a bot that is alive!

[weak wren]

It's already midnight in my area, and I'm still refreshing my website to see if I get Firefly permissions!😭

[quaint lily]

Hey @slim lion - welcome back!

[pine stirrup]

patience @weak wren 😄

[weak wren]

It's been about 48 hours since I submitted my application! Can you help me🤯

[lunar glade]

It's over 48 hours for me as well, it happens when it happens

[austere bough]

gm Howard

[weak wren]

Okay, I'm going to be patient!😩

[pine stirrup]

You're certainly not alone on the wait list - we're approving people but that takes time 🙂

[glossy robin]

I'm starting to lose confidence that I've requested access. Can I apply again? Will it slow down the process if I apply again?

[lone rose]

I think it just needed its elastic bands wound up again

[solid jasper]

The "Use as reference image" feature is pretty dope, <@&1076199634810196038> :)

[weak wren]

Does the approval of authority have anything to do with the region? I'm from China, and none of my Chinese friends around me have permission approval from Firefly

[weak wren]

I think it will

[pine stirrup]

I don't have any information on that, unfortunately.

You certainly don't have to apply again, this will not speed up the process but probably will make it even slower for everyone. If you have submitted the form, you are on the wait list 🙂

[delicate egret]

I'm excited to begin and see what prompting is like here and how it differs from Midjourney. The starting philosophy here seems really interesting! Waiting will be worth it!

[hybrid junco]

yes! But a bit hidden, I think

[plucky sonnet]

Very

[hybrid junco]

@slim lion could use a tip about this perhaps!

[slim lion]

That was the first thing I covered in #tips-and-tricks. It's a great feature, just a bit hidden for now.

[solid jasper]

It's not "obvious" but I wouldn't say its hidden. :)

Can't wait for the ability to upload and inpaint my own image. :)

[weak wren]

Because you can see on the channel #archived-share-your-work-3-23-to-11-23 , almost no Chinese designers get the permission to firefly, which has to be a pity

[pine stirrup]

just because you don't see posts from chinese people doesn't mean there aren't any users. They might just not be posting their work on social media 🙂

[weak wren]

I see what you mean! I don't mean anything extra, probably because none of my friends around me have access to it! In fact, everyone is eager to experience it!

Good Morning @slim lion

[jolly terrace]

I just requested access, this is so good from Adobe's part.

[red brook]

hey all 🙂

[quaint lily]

Welcome!

[red brook]

What are we creating today?

[jolly terrace]

It will be so nice to take an existing headshot/portrait, put it through a AI generator and give clients amazing and artistic stuff. Also, what's to stop a client from taking our photos and running it through some AI?

AI is distruptive! - LOL

[remote wren]

How to get access to firefly

[pine stirrup]

looking at #archived-share-your-work-3-23-to-11-23 , the question should rather be "what aren't we creating today"

[red brook]

lol

I'm definitely in the OMG ADD EVERYTHING phase of my creative journey - trying to figure out aesthetic color and lighting all at once is daunting

[marsh mountain]

How much time to get access?

[pine stirrup]

Given the high level of interest, we're not able to get everyone access as fast as anticipated. We’re admitting on a rolling basis and as quickly as we can

[eager plinth]

I think part of the problem is that users don’t get any confirmation email when they fill out the form. I applied twice because I was afraid I misspelled my email address the first time. Sorry 🙈. I was expecting to get a confirmation email as usual and when I did not get it I got a bit anxious. Everyone is way too excited to try this and I guess it’s hard to be patient 🥲

[wooden granite]

Hi

[sinful viper]

Welcome 🙏🏻

[jolly terrace]

Can a clothing company - Gucci, HM, Zara, Gap, Old Navy, etc - simply use AI to create their ads and forget all about us creatives?

[timber wren]

It's just another (very powerful) tool in the belt.

If you're creative, you'll find a creative way of using the tool that the execs wouldn't.

[jolly terrace]

We keep telling ourselves that but honestly if I needed an ad today (or in the future) I'll do it myself with AI, LOL

[timber wren]

Yeah, but AI is still utilizing your creativity.

[jolly terrace]

True.

[timber wren]

Painting didn't die because the camera was invented.

It definitely changed dramatically, but it didn't die.

[stable scarab]

how to get access to FireFly faster? — I wanna review this on my YT

[split root]

I already have an adobe account just not on the email I signed up for firefly with

[stable scarab]

I applied like 2 days ago

[slim lion]

Could they? Probably. Will they? I honestly don't think many will. There's something special about that a human can provide that AI simply cannot yet. I think we're going to see campaigns that contain a lot more 'meaning' behind them to separate from the AI--created content.

[willow gorge]

Hello all

[eager plinth]

The key word here is “yet”, I think! It will become better and better. I don’t think it will be able to completely replace humans though. No matter if we want it or not, it’s here to stay, and you can either fight it, or use it to your advantage, as an aid to speed up your process and give you ideas. With Adobe entering this market, I hope that at least initial artists would be respected.

[wooden granite]

That’s great 😃

When I heard about firefly I was so happy . Adobe really is the best 🙌🏽

[next rain]

Hello everybody

[solid jasper]

@slim lion - is there any switch or syntax to do "negative prompting"? For example, --no faces, people, etc?

[next rain]

cant wait to get firefly access

[winged jacinth]

hello

[willow willow]

Oh I'd love to know this as well

[slim lion]

That's my view, as well. The AI turtle has quickly turned into a bullet train. We now need to figure out how to use it to our advantage, and that's what the various tools we're building will do.

[slim lion]

Currently we use: [avoid=green, cars]. This is subject to change, though.

[jolly terrace]

Yeah, this is how I envision using it especially the Adobe's Firefly since we already have Adobe for Photoshop, Premiere, After Effects, etc. If I can take my client's work and use AI to make quicker edits, or put my model/subject in another environment, etc that will be amazing.

[austere trench]

i need the permission to use this

[split pendant]

i'm on the waitlist, be excited to start trying it out

[pine stirrup]

have you submitted an application on https://firefly.adobe.com ?

[fallow edge]

Very excited to try this out

[dry tangle]

I think at the tail end of the AIs development creatives will still be needed in a different capacity to where they are now. You'll probably see things in the graphical professional space being something like "prompt engineer". Give it ten years, and we'll have a better scope of how AI is going to affect professional creatives. But as stated before, you can either embrace it and make it work for you or continue chugging along in your current sphere.

[solid jasper]

I love that the model understands context, "red shoe, green ball, blue box" and gets it right a majority of the time. This is really important. :)

[fallow edge]

After we have submitted an application for the Beta how long should it take to get the email?

[split pendant]

human-generated art will still be useful for training AI for a long time. the amount of art that has been generated relative to the information it expresses is very small compared to the corpus of text, and there are lots of reasons for that

[small moon]

Hi @fallow edge : See #announcements where an update was posted today.

[pine stirrup]

Since there currently is a high level of interest, we're not able to get everyone access as fast as anticipated. We’re admitting on a rolling basis and as quickly as we can 🙂

[jolly terrace]

Adobe Firefly > me, in Adobe's HQ, jumping of excitement, popping champagne

LMAO!

[stable scarab]

You should first give access to all the YouTubers and Bloggers with significant audience to create a buzz

not to random people

[split pendant]

doesn't make sense to generate buzz if they can't handle the influx

[jolly terrace]

Are you a "Youtuber, glogger with significant audience"? - LMAO!

blogger*

[stable scarab]

It does make sense because it will generate a whole lot new customers for Adobe

[slim lion]

That just complicates things. Then we'll have anyone who has a YouTube channel applying and clogging up the requests that way.

[wary widget]

There's already more than enough buzz, judging by the number of people trying to join

[stable scarab]

Currently Adobe is losing a lotta of them to Canva and tools like that who already implemented some AI tools

[oblique wren]

Hi everyone! So excited to see some of the work from you all 🙂

[cloud widget]

“Let me give you a hand!”

[jolly terrace]

Exactly. I believe it's best to allow paying creatives access first since we already use Adobe's suite of software for our work.

[jagged vault]

#/image beautiful rainbow paw cat pattern

[astral jolt]

You cannot generate in discord, please see #faq and take steps toward getting the access to Firefly Beta

[slim lion]

We're focused on a smooth beta experience and the team is working as hard as they can to get there.

[jolly terrace]

"Canva is a more user-friendly and affordable option for beginners and small businesses, while Adobe Express is a more powerful and professional tool for advanced designers and larger organizations."

[split pendant]

translation: we get that you're a "big important influencer" but you still have to wait your turn like everyone else

[jolly terrace]

I don't think Adobe and Canva can be compared, they're in different games (yet similar).

[stable scarab]

True but you could prioritize them somehow, I'm your paid customer, and I'm also your affiliate—yet I haven't gotten access to Adobe FireFly yet... I think it's quite unfair

[worn sorrel]

Im way too amped about firefly....

[sand igloo]

Hello, I registered to have access to the beta, do you know how long it takes and how the selection is made?

[quaint lily]

Can one ever be TOO amped!? 🤔

[fresh stag]

It's first come first served but we're backlogged and some applications are taking longer than others. So it's tough to say. Hopefully soon!

[worn sorrel]

id say! When you cant finish explaining ideas cause your brain is exploding with more and better idaeas.... Thats toooooooo amped...

even my grammar is affected 😂

[sand igloo]

ok thank you and also I registered with my personal email address and not the one I use for the adobe suite which is my work email does this affect acceptance

[solid jasper]

Combine excitement for the possibilities of new tech and a few cans of Red Bull... it's possible. :)

[shut dew]

the interface is inspired, i enjoy being able to alter the preprompt with the same seed

[slim lion]

Speaking of the Firefly UI, what else would you all like to see?

[spring fern]

i want a help

has anyone got midjourney or firefly access

[shut dew]

there's no kind of weighting or multiprompting yet, right?

sorry forgot to turn pings off

[slim lion]

Nope, but that just gave me an interesting idea...

[shut dew]

i'm trying to prompt a character with just-above-the-shoulder hair and "short" is too short while "medium" is too long, and ordinarily i would weight down short, or multiprompt one medium and one short

[granite kelp]

i am really exciting to finally use this software, i think it is easier than other ai softwares out there, just perfect for me.

[granite kelp]

i wanna know that too

[shut dew]

hmmm, "shot from above" and "shot from below" don't seem to have much effect on portraits (probably not a lot of portraits in the dataset that aren't dead level)

[fresh stag]

If you've applied on the site then you're in the queue. But we're really backlogged so it might take a while. And you have the wrong discord for Midjourney.

[dusty minnow]

This server got 37.000+ members in a matter of few days

[grand hazel]

Excited for this. Hopefully will gearing up soon

[fresh stag]

It doesn't affect acceptance but the invite will go to the email you entered in the form.

[shut dew]

i submitted my email yesterday morning and got my invite early this morning, so its not a huge wait

[terse raptor]

Seriously? I submitted mine Tuesday afternoon...I've been waiting nearly 48 hours. First come, first served though...

[sand igloo]

ok thanks!

[fresh stag]

Hopefully soon! The server has 37k members if that gives you any indication as the number of people applying. And unfortunately it's a pretty manual process. I don't think we've anticipated this kind of hype.

[terse raptor]

I get it, but you keep telling everyone one thing and it's clearly not true.

[pine stirrup]

yeah, I don't want to know how many people have applied, who didn't even bother signing up on Discord 😱

[shut dew]

getting a lot of these when prompting someone "wearing glasses"

[terse raptor]

I was excited...getting kinda frustrated. Not because I have to wait, but because some of us are getting leapfrogged and nobody wants to admit it.

[pine stirrup]

40/40 vision

[shut dew]

its so they can do the dramatic taking off of glasses and still see

[lofty hawk]

I would put paying customers first tho. 🙂

[terse raptor]

I would as well.

[wary widget]

I've been using Photoshop since 1990, on a 68k Mac. Where does that put me?

[lofty hawk]

And you too have no access yet?

[granite kelp]

I SO LOVE THE TEXT EFFECTS IN ADOBE FIREFLY

[wary widget]

Not yet.

[terse raptor]

Me too! Photoshop 2 lol

[granite kelp]

https://tenor.com/view/spongebob-spongebob-squarepants-gif-26050988

[slim lion]

Please show us your receipt from your Photoshop 1.0 purchase 😂

[shut dew]

i don't think they are in a position to verify pre-creative-cloud claims

[terse raptor]

The days when modem speeds were measured in k

[pine stirrup]

imagine how much longer it would take if the team also had to verify if someone actually has been using Photoshop since Ps 2 😮

[wary widget]

If only I still had it saved after all these years!

[slim lion]

Right?! That's something I would frame

[slim nymph]

PS 6 or 7... i had to buy a paper book to learn how to use it...

[solid jasper]

I think my account still has my CS4 and CS5 license information contained within. :D

[lofty hawk]

Firefly was the best show tho.

[slim lion]

Yes!! I was so heartbroken when I found out Martin Evening passed. I learned a ton from his books.

[quasi valve]

Anyone get their invite yet? Join first day, just patiently waiting!

[pine stirrup]

"Please submit your receipt for Photoshop 1.0, your shoe size, favourite pizza topping and the name of the character you never liked in that one kids show you always used to watch"

[shut dew]

hoo boy do not prompt a woman with freckles in photo mode until weighting is a thing, trust me on this 🙈

[cloud widget]

I started using photoshop more seriously in school around CS5. But my dad had photoshop 1.0 that I used sometimes and he used to make invitation cards to my birthdays in an early version of illustrator 😄

[slim lion]

"Pineapple on pizza" fans get priority access.

[lofty hawk]

btw is the invite FIFO, or should apply with all of our company's accounts to have better chance? 😂

[pine stirrup]

that was supposed to be a secret

[high locust]

@quasi valve I think it may be a while.

[terse raptor]

I had that three days ago lol

[solid jasper]

I used Photoshop in Windows for Workgroups as a wee lad. :)

[ivory flower]

pineapple pizza fans

[pine stirrup]

@terse raptor AHA! the plot thickens

[slim lion]

I'm going to use this for the example I'm mocking up. Is the idea here to reduce the 'intensity' of the freckles?

[heavy hedge]

now I want pizza 😋

[shut dew]

yeah

[slim lion]

https://tenor.com/view/schitts-creek-me-too-same-same-david-rose-dan-levy-gif-19295178

[cloud widget]

Is this a trick to kick all fans of pineapple on pizza of the list? 😅 it should I add something outrageous like “I like curry, pineapple, banana and chicken on my pizza”

[shut dew]

novelAI (and i think most other stablediffusion forks) have the same issue, which you handle by weakening freckles

[quasi valve]

You guys use other AI Generation platforms? Midjourney and SD and my favorite, but really looking forward to this!

[shut dew]

but even prompting "light freckles" gets you, uh, this

[slim lion]

I'll post a (very unofficial) UI design idea here at some point today

[wary widget]

Howdy Doody's daughter

[quasi valve]

Holy cow!

[quasi valve]

Peppy Long Stocking didn't age well? LOL

[shut dew]

i don't know if text-shorthand is against the design principles or whatever, but you might consider adopting the {strengthen} and [weaken] syntax that most stablediffusion forks have, just because its so universal (and because weighting individual words up twice, down once, up thrice can probably get pretty messy in a UI, as opposed to just nesting them for words)

[wary widget]

Was that actually generated with Firefly though?
It doesn't have the watermark.

[shut dew]

((if you can make that kind of micromanagement look sensible i'll be impressed))

[shut dew]

it was i just did a screen capture instead of a download/upload because it was faster

[slim lion]

It's tempting to go down that route, but I'm going to see if I can come up with a UI solution vs text, as a fun challenge 😉

[shy drum]

its asking me to request access

[shut dew]

it does sound fun! but really hard

[ivory flower]

i feel like the ai needs negative prompt

[shut dew]

oh yeah, negative prompts are a big thing too

[fast birch]

https://tenor.com/view/duh-durr-of-course-不然呢-gif-10975638

[shut dew]

assuming this is a clip-guided diffuser of some stripe

[shy drum]

i am not able you use any of the ai tools on firefly

what does request access mean.. is it available for people or not?

[shut dew]

if its a GAN, well, i don't know jack about GANs

[slim lion]

You need to request access to the beta and you'll receive an email once approved.

Check out #faq for more info

[shy drum]

oh okay... thanks buddy

[lone rose]

is this enough pineapple

[slim lion]

No.

[pine stirrup]

[shut dew]

here you go, the ideal adobe pizza

[pine stirrup]

[shut dew]

more of a calzone really but whos counting

[solid jasper]

• maintains eye contact while picking the pineapple off the pizza *

[shut dew]

did it just add those candles spontaneously

[solid jasper]

that is literally a pineapple pizza. haha

[slim lion]

The perfect romantic night

[shut dew]

"this dinner sounds romantic, better amp it up"

[pine stirrup]

I feel like someone needs an intervention

[slim lion]

https://tenor.com/view/stickergiant-who-me-your-turn-no-you-am-i-the-drama-gif-26034203

[shut dew]

are the "graphic" and "art" settings based on some internal metadata, or is it different preprompts? because they seem quite similar with the prompts i'm running so far

[cloud widget]

No banana? I’m out!

[shut dew]

but i've been using this for *checks watch* 15 minutes so i've probably missed something

i assume "graphic" would be going for clean lines and illustrator-type stuff, and art more of a noisy brush situation

[slim lion]

They're similar, but the 'art' styles go well with many of the 'techniques', like Oil Paint, Doodle, etc.

[slim lion]

Fiiiiine.

[cloud widget]

Chef’s kiss 👌🏻

[austere bough]

so atm people who start their name with Lo and love Pineapple on pizza get faster acces,sweet getting closer and closer by the minute

[austere bough]

lol

[solid jasper]

I'm both intrigued and disgusted at the same time. Its not appetizing and yet, I can't look away.

[austere bough]

swap

[hazy notch]

I'd eat

[austere bough]

it's a little bit to much pineapple

lol

[austere bough]

what's the prompt?

[shut dew]

another issue that i definitely know is tough for these kinds of high-powered image diffusers to solve: humans with non-human skin (for SFF settings and the like)

[slim lion]

Editorial style photo of a pineapple with pizza and a banana on top, on a rustic wooden table, rustic tavern atmosphere, dimly lit restaurant environment, restaurant in the background, premium stock photography, highly detailed, rustic style

[shut dew]

(weighting might help with this too, when it's in)

[visual crag]

so to get access one needs to sign up for the beta? seems like ya'll got access quick

[brittle smelt]

Yep. Waiting waiting waiting here...

[shut dew]

the more coherent you train it to be with humans the harder it is to get it to break those rules in a prompt

[lone rose]

so that's what the banana tool in Photoshop is for

[visual crag]

or do i have pay to acess firefly

[slim lion]

Nope! Just need to request access. The team is working through the requests and you'll receive an email when you're good to go

[sacred skiff]

So I should return my Chipotle gift card?

[visual crag]

sweet. thats nice cause i have no real use for it . other than just to play with it. lmao

[shut dew]

alright i have to stop playing with this now or ima lose my day job

[visual crag]

xD

[slim lion]

Same. Oh wait...

[shut dew]

its very good for a first beta, most of the problems i've noticed are pretty universal struggles in midjourney/stablediffusion/dalle

[lone rose]

I told my boss I would only spend 1/2 hr playing with this, good job i'm the boss

[crimson hound]

Did vector text using Photoshop before Adobe Photoshop had vector text. But I have access. Seems to be at roughly midjourney version 2/3 or so in quality right now.

[shut dew]

i'm just a dumb admin lawyer who plays with AI art in their free time, i can in no way justify this for work

[austere bough]

Isn't this your day job? Xd

[slim lion]

😉

[austere bough]

I've got plenty of time to play around with this stuff

[grave hedge]

So I sent my request to try out the app. Did you all get an email saying the request was received?

[austere bough]

Try to generate some lasagna

@slim lion what did you study to get here btw? Xd

[tough depot]

what

[slim lion]

Some did, some didn't, but as long as you submitted, you're on the list!

[slim lion]

Went to school for 3D design/animation. That didn't work out. 😂

@slim lion 你是谁

[slim lion]

I don't 😦

[shut dew]

here's another example of a thing that gets weirdly hard for AIs to do the more coherent their data is

[austere bough]

[coarse trellis]

What do you do while you are waiting for your access to Adobe Firefly?

Here are 3 Feature Ideas for Adobe Firefly that will help you during this hard time—until you get access—keeping you entertained 🤹

Text-to-Smell: With this feature, you can input a text description of a scent, and Adobe Firefly will use AI to generate the corresponding aroma. Imagine typing "freshly baked chocolate chip cookies" and being able to smell it through your computer!

Text-to-Taste: This feature takes Text-to-Smell one step further by allowing you to input a text description of a food item and generating the corresponding taste in your mouth. Type "spicy buffalo wings" and experience the heat on your tongue without even having to leave your desk!

Text-to-Teleportation: This feature may sound like something out of science fiction, but with Adobe Firefly, it could be possible. Input a text description of a location, and the AI will use advanced algorithms to teleport you to that exact spot. Want to visit the Eiffel Tower without the hassle of travel? Just type it in and let Adobe Firefly handle the rest.

[wooden granite]

damn you got access already? Is MJ bot still down?

[true bone]

CHANGE BLUE SKY TO RED

[shut dew]

yeah i applied yesterday morning and i dunno, but don't bother non-MJ discords about the status of the MJ bot it gets bad enough in there

[wooden granite]

lol

[hybrid junco]

hah coming soon, love it.

[wooden granite]

try some halftones with firefly, I wanna see how bad they are

[honest quiver]

@true bone you cannot generate images writing prompts in the discord, please read the #faq to learn more about firefly

[visual crag]

Heck yeah guys i just finished submitting my request form out. wish me luck lmao

[shut dew]

let me check their presets before i prompt it

hmmm "pop art" might be close

[wooden granite]

It's always hard to figure out if theres different words or styles that will evoke it, as I think most training on "halftones" isn't really it

[shut dew]

well they have a list of, essentially, photoshop filters, so if anyone can do it they can (halftone isn't on there though)

[visual crag]

How long did it take most of you all to get accepted ? jw lmao

[wooden granite]

yeah like that, comic book, or how people try dot-matrix etc. I've never found some that really work best, as its such a vague term that ends up mostly with bad examples in any training data, or more of the artsy style rather than some precise stuff

[shut dew]

okay i ran this prompt with "art" and "pop art" on and yeah its not quite there yet

[wooden granite]

The resolution of the training and having good training images, as well as the resolution limit of the outputs, is what really holds it back...

But yeah thats actually not too bad its sort of getting the idea a bit

[shut dew]

i don't think adobe has that problem considering their library

[wooden granite]

Well no I mean anywhere in the world, there are actually not a lot of examples of really high-res true-halftone conversions of images and artwork.

[shut dew]

ohhhh yeah

[wooden granite]

Those examples are the "artsy" kind

But also the output resolution.... if it needs to be like 12,000 pixels to really capture it,, its gonna be a while before we have those kind of outputs

[shut dew]

here's what happens if i take off the "pop art" preset

[wooden granite]

interesting, yeah popart was making it more smoother and those colors

you can see the sort of thing MJ was getting in the training and others

they end up seeing the low-res patterns as cross-hatches

[shut dew]

if i take off the "art" preset entirely i get a bad-looking photobash with only background dots

[wooden granite]

but thats still pretty cool and good progress towards it, eventually we'll probably be able to custom-train these on our own high-res images for high-res outputs

[shut dew]

let me try "graphic" just to see what it does

[wooden granite]

woodcut usually gives the other style of line-art instead of halftones, sometimes including vector halftones makes it cleaner but shifts more artsy

[shut dew]

yeah nah art's the way to go here

[wooden granite]

its kind of like expecting a machine that pumps out round wheels to be capable of generating a combustion engine, but we'll get there eventually

[hallow thicket]

Hello everyone! I just wanted to ask how much time did it take to get access to use Firefly? I've requested access a couple of days ago and I haven't got the email yet.

[wooden granite]

Guys, Registered with Adobe Firefly (Beta), not working why?

[ivory flower]

how do i get a job in adobe? I'm on my second year of graphic design

[wooden granite]

please

[hazy notch]

You've registered in Adobe, not in the Beta.

[honest quiver]

now that you have your adobe account, you can request access here @wooden granite https://firefly.adobe.com/

[hallow thicket]

how much time does it normally take to get access ?

[barren stone]

howdy, just signed up for access

[visual crag]

same now we wait

[shrewd musk]

we can't give estimate about this because the team still hardwork for this

[calm portal]

Looks like you registered the Adobe ID. That is the Key to all other Products. NOW you can go over to https://firefly.adobe.com/ and register for the beta program. have fun.

[visual crag]

no idea how long we wait
1 , 2 or maybe 3
lmao

[slim lion]

@shut dew Here's a very quick and rough mockup of what I'm thinking for adjusting weights with the UI.

Disclaimer: This is very unofficial and I'm not directly part of the Firefly design team.

[calm portal]

Beta applications are being approved on a rolling basis and you'll receive a confirmation email once you've been granted access. At this time we do not have an accurate estimate for when access will be granted. Thank you for your patience! #faq

[visual crag]

Right

[wooden granite]

guys, please, Where will I click

[shut dew]

that's clever but a big oof for the colorblind

[visual crag]

i'd say request access

smh

[slim lion]

Obviously this would need to go through accessibility checks 😉

[wooden granite]

?

[calm portal]

First you have to "Request access" and after it is granted you can "generate" your work. Have fun.

[shut dew]

also it might get really annoying to have to do it four times if you wanted to weight a four-word phrase

(i'm assuming you could highlight stuff and do it that way this is just a quick and dirty exhibit)

[jovial wren]

A man with curly hair

[slim lion]

I would imagine you can drag over the words you want connected

[ivory flower]

you would just select the whole phrase and choose the weight

[shut dew]

yeah its cool

accessible version might be something like thin/thick underline for modest/big overweight, dashed/dotted underline for modest/big underweight?

[calm portal]

THAT Feature I wish also for the Text-Effects to get bigger or smaller Details of the Effect onto the Surface. Nice One.

[coral igloo]

i was watching the C*nva create event, and I saw many thing that can be added to adobe express if adobe manage to connect it with Firefly somehow.

[tough depot]

Who has a channel? Give me a channel☹️

[visual crag]

your in a channel

[little axle]

Hii! when can we get an access to adobe firefly?

[burnt ermine]

Hello from Temecula CA

[slim lion]

Express will definitely see Firefly integrations.

[thin moth]

Hi there-how long did it take for you all to get access after you registered?

[slim lion]

For those asking about access, the team is working as quickly as they can to get everyone in, but it's taking longer than expected. Hang right!

[visual crag]

zero idea i did it about 10mins ago

[tough depot]

How to generate pictures？

[visual crag]

well you gotta wait for access

you cant generate pics here in discord

[slim lion]

Off to lunch, catch you all later!

[visual crag]

later

[coral igloo]

You need to join the waitlist and wait to get acces to the web app

[thin moth]

Great-thank you. Looking forward to it!

[visual crag]

oh is it a web app

taht i didnt know

i was figureeing i was going to have to download a huge program

[shut dew]

i'm hella impressed that i gave an example of a useful feature request and there's a mockup of it one hour later

thats hustle

[tough depot]

That means I have to wait for the official mail, right?

[wooden granite]

I already registered from here. I received a letter in the mail. But how do I start?

[coral igloo]

yes

[shut dew]

that's just you registering an adobe ID, gotta wait longer to get access to this specifically

[lone rose]

hope it's that pineapple with a pizza topping

[tough depot]

ok 谢谢

[shut dew]

it took them about 24 hours to get to me, but that queue might be longer by now

[visual crag]

dang

[tough depot]

Thank you

[visual crag]

i just filled it out 10mins ago

[wooden granite]

ok ; thank you Shambibble

[shut dew]

yeah its definitely not dominos pizza times

[wooden granite]

Do you have a video how to register?

[shut dew]

more like amazon prime times

[wise plume]

I signed up shortly after release was announced and still waiting so I assume if you have just recently signed up it will be a bit longer as some of us who requested access day of are still waiting

[visual crag]

f

[terse raptor]

The queues are random. They're telling people it's first come first served but it's not. I've been waiting nearly 2 full days, and some people signed up after me and are already in. They won't acknowledge it, but that's the reality.

[visual crag]

dang i didnt realize its been public that long

i just hurd about it last night

[wise plume]

That is why I went ahead and did my personal account and my enterprise account just in case it was random

[honest quiver]

@wooden granite visit https://firefly.adobe.com/ to request access

[shut dew]

and make sure you're logged into that adobe account you created when you do

[terse raptor]

I signed up one hour after the email announcement. It's like getting to the restaurant early, and then being told you have to wait three hours because a bunch of people showed up after you.

[visual crag]

so dont hold my breath

for access soon

[novel condor]

Flyer design for a delivery company, requests for a parcel man, location map, high resolution

[terse raptor]

Well who knows, you might get lucky.

[visual crag]

i am feeling lucky

lmao

[terse raptor]

But don't expect a straight answer lol

[visual crag]

xD

psh i've signed up for beta for like 5 things

ai related

and still no word

[royal lotus]

When will we get commercial rights?

[terse raptor]

Probably after beta

[visual crag]

after beta , im sure it wont be free and beta users will have to pay ?

[royal lotus]

How long the Beta would last?

[terse raptor]

Can't do prompts in here, my man.

[honest quiver]

@novel condor read the #faq for more information, firefly is not a discord bot

[royal lotus]

I hope the paid version comes with Adobe Creative Cloud Subscription

[coral igloo]

not sure but it will be integrated to adobe creative ?

may be

[visual crag]

no idea

if it goes paied , which im sure it will . that will be the end of it for me

[royal lotus]

Lol

[wooden granite]

How much time do i have to wait ?? + What will get me in the mail?

[terse raptor]

Many of us are hoping it will be included as part of the CC subscription.

[coral igloo]

evrything is paid atm

[visual crag]

right

[royal lotus]

For me it was One day

[wooden granite]

oK tHANKS

[coral igloo]

I have a cc subscription so i hope it will be integrated into it somehow

[viral venture]

The time is unknown at this time, they have many requests, all we can do is be patient.

[honest quiver]

@coral igloo from the #faq Will Adobe Firefly be part of Creative Cloud?
At first, Firefly will be integrated into Adobe Express, Photoshop, Illustrator, and Adobe Experience Manager. The eventual plan is to bring it to Creative Cloud, Document Cloud, and Experience Cloud applications where content is created and modified.

[visual crag]

well its like i dont do art for a living , or need to do art for anything. so i'd be paying for it .. for the fun of making art. thats it.

[lone rose]

They have said that it will be integrated into Express, photoshop, Illustrator etc,

[coral igloo]

Thanks

[terse raptor]

That'll be a great feature.

[coral igloo]

Perfect

[visual crag]

i just want to try it out to have some fun. thats about it

lmao

[honest quiver]

@wooden granite the team is working as fast as possible, the most recent information is in #announcements

[royal lotus]

you could make out of it as well

[visual crag]

mosf of all the art generation is paied for. well anything good

[wooden granite]

ok bro

[royal lotus]

You should think of a tik tok profile promoting your art and then sell merchandise with those designs

[wooden granite]

Who do you think is better? ( Midjourney or Adobe AI ) ?

[quartz cargo]

Thank you for the update.

[visual crag]

lmao maybe. currently im not a content creator or anything. i have almost no use for anything i make

tho i could prollly start making websites .. couldnt before cause i was bad at art

[royal lotus]

try cute cats, you will go viral

[visual crag]

lmao

[shut dew]

oh damn, the base model can spell!

[visual crag]

nice

[shut dew]

this is not the text tool, this is the image model

i asked it for a country music station logo called "ROOT BEER" and included the text twice

[visual crag]

i'd just like to use to to try it out so bad

[royal lotus]

cute cat --- incoming

[visual crag]

his head is lil off

maybe

the left side

[royal lotus]

yeah too big, i have get better with prompts

*to

[visual crag]

right

[wooden granite]

hiii

[royal lotus]

next thing you know all the guru will start selling courses on how to write the good prompt

[visual crag]

oh im sure

[royal lotus]

$997

[visual crag]

ppl be already making prompt bots

[royal lotus]

• bonuses

[visual crag]

that one is good

[royal lotus]

https://tenor.com/view/thank-you-sticker-thanks-sticker-line-sticker-cat-sticker-orange-cat-gif-26476683

But to be honest, Firefly is by far the best and easy tool I have come across so far

[visual crag]

yeah it seemed amazeing

when beta is over if its not too expensive

[royal lotus]

Adobe has lived upto its expectations

[visual crag]

i'd be down to buy it

im afriad it aint going to be tho

[royal lotus]

I hope the add it as part of creative cloud suite, coz I have got one

[visual crag]

like the other adobe products

[burnt ermine]

I'm looking forward to just trying out the sketch to color workflow. Could speed up inking or maybe even do flats for me? Need just flats often. Or I can use how it colors my sketch initially and make finish touches..etc.

[timber wren]

What kind of delay are people seeing on confirmation emails? Like, over 24hrs?

[lone rose]

They have said it will be integrated into express, photoshop and illustrator etc

[visual crag]

no idea i signed up 30mins ago

some ppl been waiting 24hrs tho

[royal lotus]

for me it was within 24 hours

I signed up yesterday

[final osprey]

+48 hours and not confirmation email

[royal lotus]

keep an eye on promotion tab if you are using gmail, for me it was there

[visual crag]

dang

[civic aurora]

Same, was in my promotions tab

[royal lotus]

which is easy to miss if you don't check regularly

[visual crag]

not in the updates tab

[timber wren]

@final osprey okay that makes me feel better and worse at the same time. Haha

[visual crag]

i imagine it should also be there

[royal lotus]

Check promotions tab in gmail

[weak vapor]

Hey

[lime hull]

probably it has been asked a lot but how long does it take to get access after sending the request?

[royal lotus]

24 hrs for me

[burnt ermine]

I'm curious what the cost for me will be as I don't use the desktop versions anymore. I work 100% iPad. So I switched from the CC everything subscription $50+ to the mobile app bundle for $15 instead. Will there be an additional subscription fee for Firefly for people like me?

[final osprey]

no email haha

[cinder dirge]

Same 48 hours and no email.

[burnt ermine]

I wonder if existing CC subscribers get priority?

[cinder dirge]

They don't.

[spice skiff]

To me it seems pretty random. I have seen over the last 24 hours some people saying they got access granted within half an hour an I've seen people saying they have been waiting 48+ hours and have not heard. Just confirming, you do get an email when you are granted access, right?

[final osprey]

yep, u get a email with access

[hazy notch]

Just need to wait 🙏

[dawn socket]

what are the prompts plesae , like /imagine or create

[red yoke]

I just signed up. I sure many of you will get access before I do. Looking forward to giving it a shot. The tech they're working on is exciting.

[royal lotus]

try cute cat with blue headphone, studio lighting, ultra hd, photorealistic

you will get something like this

[hazy notch]

It doesn't work here, first you need to request Beta Access

[warm wadi]

How did you all got access to it? Already requested, but waiting on it.

[hazy notch]

Request it on https://firefly.adobe.com/ and wait 🙏

[shut dew]

oh daaaaamn just noticed the v-roll slider

that is hot stuff

[royal lotus]

it should take less than 24 hours

[astral jolt]

not sure that I got your question, can you elaborate?

[astral jolt]

there is no time estimated, approving is happening on rolling basics

[pine stirrup]

@dawn socket to get started, please check out the #faq channel 🙂

[honest quiver]

they're asking how they can use firefly, but it is not a discord bot

[dawn socket]

Thanks I will

[warm wadi]

Gotta wait then.

[loud sleet]

hi

[clear cloud]

Hey Adobe crew, its now been around 48 hours since I put in my request for access, but I've still not gotten a confirmation email saying that I put it in. Is that normal, or should I reapply?

[astral jolt]

no way around

[grizzled charm]

I just saw that it says, please enter a valid Adobe ID as an email address. I wonder if you can only try the beta if you already have the CC suite

[astral jolt]

It is normal, its due to huge interest. No need for re-requesting

[shut dew]

HAHAHAHAHAHA

oh my GOD this was such a pain with midjourney and you literally could not do it in stablediff or dalle

im standing on my desk and clapping

[cinder dirge]

You need an Adobe ID, but that is free to signup for.

[stable scarab]

look at her hands on 3 pic

[grizzled charm]

I have had the same Adobe ID for 15 years ;p

[stable scarab]

she got 3rd hand!

[shut dew]

buddy do you think i care about the hands

[warm wadi]

@astral jolt do you have any idea if they are going to switch to a premium subscription? Or will it be free for all those who own an adobe subscription

[shut dew]

the hands take care of themselves with more data, the text in the non-text model is

[grizzled charm]

thank you for the heads up. The email I use for my Adobe ID is an old yahoo address and I don't use it for anything else except spam

[cinder dirge]

@warm wadi We don't know but it's eventually going to be integrated in apps like Adobe Express and Photoshop so I can't imagine them charging extra when you are already paying. But maybe for some features. We just don't know yet.

[warm wadi]

Makes sense, kinda like adobe stock thing

[grave hedge]

how do i create in midjourney? Newbie here.

[keen mason]

@dawn socket This server does not support prompts, please read #faq

[dawn socket]

slash imagine then enter

[warm wadi]

Mid has its own guide for newbies lol

[astral jolt]

No, you can have Adobe Id without having the adobe creative cloud, as far as I am informed

[austere bough]

(not made by FireFly but with SD)

[keen mason]

@grave hedge This server does not support prompts, please read #faq

[grave hedge]

got it

[shut dew]

yeah i am very consistently getting legible text on a first prompt with the non-text model that is nutso

[astral jolt]

At the moment Beta it is free, its cloud based and there are no premium or any other subscription. Once they release it the fact might change

[cinder dirge]

@warm wadi Yes, Firefly is way more than just image generation. I can see text effects, recolor vectors, inpainting, extend image ect to be in the apps included with subscription, but something like text to image maybe you get a certain amount per month, similar to how much cloud storage you get per month.

[astral jolt]

you cannot generate images writing prompts in the discord, please read the #faq to learn more about firefly

[granite karma]

man over a horse

[terse raptor]

Dude, look a at the message directly above you.

[astral jolt]

read my post above

[vapid arch]

is it free?

[austere bough]

this is like in 4K Xd

[shut dew]

i don't think any of the vector stuff or in/outpainting is there yet

[austere bough]

for now yes

[warm wadi]

Sorry to bug ya Katarina, i thought u were part of the adobe team

[terse raptor]

I'm very excited for that stuff.

[carmine vortex]

for now. but it won't be free once it's out of beta.

[vapid arch]

what about commercial use

[terse raptor]

It'll be available once beta is over.

[cinder dirge]

No commercial use in beta, after yes

[austere bough]

nope not allowed

not while in beta

[cinder dirge]

And don't try to remove the watermark either.

[austere bough]

what would happen then?

[vapid arch]

what will be the subscription price around?

[honest quiver]

@vapid arch from the #faq "Can I share Adobe Firefly images outside of Discord?
Yes! You are welcome to share what you create in the Firefly Beta on social. We encourage you to use #AdobeFirefly. Note the output in the beta period is not yet for commercial use."

[austere bough]

they will eventually add in the Creative Cloud subscription

[royal lotus]

Well, this is impressive! Good job Adobe

[honest quiver]

@austere bough @carmine vortex @vapid arch the beta right now is free. That's the only concrete information right now, we will know more when firefly leaves the beta stage

[austere bough]

ik

[astral jolt]

I think that there is some kind of agreement you are confirming once they approve you for beta, they will ask you not to violate it

[austere bough]

yes, but I mean more what if you would ignore that are there any like safeguards in place to prevent it from happening? (just being curious here)

[shut dew]

oh crap ive just been screencapping from CTRL+SHIFT+S because its quicker

guess i should stop doing that

pls dont ban me i didn't know

[astral jolt]

I do not know the ways 🙈

[pine stirrup]

yes, when sharing firefly beta generated work, please always use the watermarked version that you can get via the download

[shut dew]

i'll do that from now on sorry

(i did clearly identify it as firefly when i shared it)

[deep sinew]

Somebody with information please tell me. Is this firefly based on Stable Diffusion? Because images have the Stable feeling. Can we also train the firefly model with our own pictures?

[austere bough]

?bam @shut dew violating ToS

[slim lion]

Firefly does not run on SD. We may allow artists to train their own models in the future.

[austere bough]

"As long as they are not used for commercial purposes 🙂" caity.psd

#1088423816964870174

that was on our own generated imgs anyway

[shut dew]

can we see past gallery submissions anywhere?

i wanna download a version of that with the watermark and stuff

[gilded zodiac]

Firefly uses images from adobe’s line of stock images and copyright free photos

[slim lion]

There's no history just yet, but you may be able to use the back button on your browser (or your browser history) to find it

[shut dew]

got it

i'm super-impressed

this was hard as hell to do on midjourney, and impossible in any other TTI

it was a one-shot here

[slim lion]

Text has been quite a surprise to me

Not sure what the team did differently here, but it's working!

[shut dew]

yeah the base model seems to be able to reliably get 2-3 words on a first roll

i'm experimenting with v-rolls now and the slider is tasty

i don't think it's ever gonna resolve "THE QUICK BROWN FOX JUMPS OVER THE LAZY DOG" but no one ever accused me of setting modest goals

[wooden granite]

Hello everybody im so curious to try so many ideas

[austere bough]

hands to

[timid tide]

I tried a lot to use Firefly but failed,

[austere bough]

SD isn't trained on language, this one is probably

[slim lion]

Were you able to request access?

[austere bough]

nor is MJ they're purely trained for their imgs

[timid tide]

Yeah I clicked there and filled a form

[cinder dirge]

Protip: the file name contains the prompt used to create the image. It's helpful if you want tips on good prompts.

[slim lion]

Perfect! The team is working through the requests and you should receive an email when you're in

[timid tide]

Hopefully! Thank you ❤️

[tender coyote]

Do you have an idea on how many hours are required for invitation? I requested access since the live discussion on Tuesday

[wheat basin]

Olá

[terse raptor]

I did the same and I’m still waiting. You’re just gonna get a canned response.

[cursive lodge]

hello all

[untold willow]

I have to say that the most exciting point of all for me is the clear commercial use orientation. Do we have any feedback on pricing?

[slim lion]

Canned response 😉: The team is working through the requests as quickly as possible and are sending them out in waves.

[shut dew]

it can abstract lyric prompts that is great

[slim lion]

Nothing on pricing yet

[shut dew]

"I bring you precious contraband, and ancient tales from distant lands; Of conquerors, and concubines, and conjurers from darker times; Betrayal and conspiracy, sacrilege and heresy; But I feel alright, I feel alright tonight"

[terse raptor]

There it is!

[split pendant]

horse. horse. horse. horse.

[slim lion]

I wish I had something more, but that's what's going on behind the scenes

[shut dew]

im giving this four stars so far

[tender coyote]

Wow

[shut dew]

again, this is something i've only ever seen from midjourney, dalle2 and stablediffusion (stock) both just return garbage text when you feed them prose

[terse raptor]

Is that one horse mentioned four times for emphasis, or the four horsemen of the apocalypse?

[shut dew]

lets see if i can find a good shakespeare quote that doesn't run afoul of the filter

[cloud widget]

https://tenor.com/view/thats-it-yes-thats-it-that-right-there-omg-that-thats-what-i-mean-gif-17579879

Lol

[split pendant]

the four AI of the apocalypse: language models, image models, audio models, and the quantum computer living inside a robot to run them all

[terse raptor]

haha nice

[hard raptor]

Please teach me. i join firefly to use

[cinder dirge]

Generative AI right now is growing exponentially. Very exciting times.

[reef cloak]

create a cat dancing

[astral jolt]

you cannot generate images writing prompts in the discord, please read the #faq to learn more about firefly

[shut dew]

hmmm, it'll accept a line from the st crispin's day speech but the output isn't very good (its mostly just hooking on "gentlemen in england")

[split pendant]

a generation of people who "know how to do things" will do amazing things with AI. but AI will create a generation of people who don't know how to do things after that.

[smoky thistle]

Are some people not getting in the beta? I registered pretty early on and thought I would of gotten my invite by now but still nothing sadly. Just wondering if everyone will have the chance to get in and beta test

[split pendant]

apparently totally random

[smoky thistle]

It must be, Shame. I am a paid subscriber with Midjourney and love it, but love the differences Firefly could potentially bring so look forward to getting my hands on it

[terse raptor]

No ones knows. Could be less than a day, could be a few days.

[wooden granite]

its obviously not random guys, just relax

[split pendant]

doesn't matter if it is or not, honestly

[wooden granite]

They cherry pick the youtubers and other people who they want to have access first, its a business

[terse raptor]

It is random. People who have signed up after me are already in. I'm still waiting. Random.

[wooden granite]

yeah i mean it makes perfect sense

[split pendant]

already has been a couple "i'm a big important influencers" come in here and get laughed off

[wooden granite]

people signing up after you and getting in does not equate to random. It can still be chosen people clearly.

[smoky thistle]

It is more likl.ey cherry picked based on the answers you give it upon registering, things like What do you use AI for etc

[shut dew]

i'm not a youtuber and have like a couple hundred twitter followers, and also don't have any kind of active adobe sub, if they got to me, i'm confident it's either random or sequential but not cherry-picked

[split pendant]

this seems most likely

[quaint lily]

Hey friends! Sorry, been a bit busy over here

[wooden granite]

dude you make perfect sense to pick early

[astral jolt]

There is no time estimate, they use logic of rolling basic

[quaint lily]

everyone hanging in there? 🙂

[smoky thistle]

They will use answers to test different aspects

[shut dew]

i did answer a lot of those questions but thats because i'm slightly obsessed

[terse raptor]

Well that's still nonsense. I've been a professional artist for 25 years, and an Adobe user for literally ALL of that time.

[wooden granite]

Just from being around midjourney the lasy year, you're a presence in the space

like I'm saying from what I've seen of your contributions and activity

[astral jolt]

getting impatient 🫤

[smoky thistle]

Surviving my friend, surviving lol

[wooden granite]

So if I was someone picking I would have picked you over many other randos

[astral jolt]

https://tenor.com/view/spongebob-unicorn-claw-machine-fail-gif-9320552

[cinder dirge]

Relax fireflies we will all get a beta invite soon.

[astral jolt]

Don't mind me, I am not trying to add on, I just hope everyone would have just much understanding for everyone's effort

[wooden granite]

lol

[terse raptor]

That was actually pretty funny

😆

[smoky thistle]

My question wasn't me being rude, or not understanding, I understand there is a process etc, was just curious that is all.

[wooden granite]

I think they got a huge surge of people applying, so they had to be more selective than maybe they initially wanted to be, thats my guess

[terse raptor]

I still think they should prioritize professionals and long-time subscribers if that's the case.

[royal lotus]

RIP - Stock Photography

[smoky thistle]

Yeah of course, AI is exploding especially when big boys like Adobe get involved it brings up a new breed of enthusiasts!

[terse raptor]

And if that is the case, just admit it, instead of telling us the same line over and over

[wooden granite]

yeah I feel the most disappointed about that

[honest quiver]

We know you're all excited, we're approving applicants as quickly as possible and they may not always be completed in chronological order. Please be patient with us as we work to get you into the beta.

[smoky thistle]

They can't prioritise that, that would be the worst thing to do if you want to ensure your business looks good. and I am also a long time subscriber saying that lol

[royal lotus]

Check the promotion tab in gmail, that is where the approval mail will land.

[terse raptor]

Then stop telling people it's first come first served.

[wooden granite]

yeah paying subscriber doesn't equate to good spokesperson

[smoky thistle]

Exactly!

[wooden granite]

some of us long-time paying subscribers are the ones who dish out the most heat on adobe lol

[terse raptor]

lol that's probably true

[knotty narwhal]

people how add beta firefly

pleas

[smoky thistle]

haha, yeah like Photoshop please fix your reset preference crash when running multiple printers haha

[cinder dirge]

@smoky thistle The process is a bit confusing. For example I signed up for Hubspot AI content assistant tool with my email. I immediately got an email saying my email address wasn't associated with a Hubspot acount with a link to create one as it is required for the beta. I then create a Hubspot account and get another email saying congrats your on the waitlist for Hubspot content assistant tool. With this Adobe beta I have received zero emails, so the waiting is worse cause you begin to doubt if you are even on the list.

[smoky thistle]

[quaint lily]

hang in there! ❤️

[wooden granite]

They knew I was going to just try to make it do halftones and then show how it can't yet and then I still have a reason to exist lol

[astral jolt]

I never mentioned anyone being rude. I asked for compassion 🤷‍♀️

[shut dew]

yeah but also if i'm known for anything on the midjourney discord its being a big pain in the butt so they definitely aren't penalizing that

[honest quiver]

please visit https://firefly.adobe.com/ to request access, and read the #faq for additional information @knotty narwhal

[quaint lily]

@terse raptor we are working through systems on our end, so the information we're sharing is shifting. This is our attempt to be transparent > the acceptances is occurring on a rolling basis, but it isn't ironclad 🙂

[smoky thistle]

I know I know, I just wanted to make sure no one thought I was coming across rude as sometimes text can be read out of context.

[wooden granite]

I think you're a consistent power-user and that holds a lot of weight with software

[knotty narwhal]

when will it be available to me?

[smoky thistle]

@wooden granite speaks a lot of sense lol

[knotty narwhal]

how many days of the week ?

[wooden granite]

we need an AI text-to-tone-of-voice system to make things sound more gentle and sweet in text conversations lol

[smoky thistle]

The mods are processing as fast as they can, jave a look at #faq in the mean time to get a better idea.

[austere bough]

just let a bot send these imgs every 5 or 2 minute or something Xd

[astral jolt]

Have you've registered yet?

[wooden granite]

We have all probably registered 5 times at least.

[terse raptor]

I've only registered once. I was afraid to do it again and mess something up lol

[wooden granite]

I only did it twice I think, cuz I didn't remember if I finished it completely, since they didnt send any confirmation of the application.

[astral jolt]

practically there is no need for registering more than once

[smoky thistle]

man I absolutely love Midjourney, but the stuff coming out of Firefly is unreal at such an early stage in development

[amber lily]

hello Adobe team! as a paying user of other tools, how long should I expect to wait to get access to the beta? out of all the ai tools, this looks the most fluid. Amazing work. i'm drooling

[knotty narwhal]

I have already signed up, I don't know when it will be in my possession, that's the question

[pine stirrup]

if possible, please only register once (I know this advice probably comes too late now). because multiple registrations mean more work for the people approving the applications. that means it takes longer for everyone

[terse raptor]

I got this when I signed up, so I'm still assuming that means it worked and I'm in the queue.

[pine stirrup]

and you would be correct

[terse raptor]

I've nearly done it again...a few times...but I've walked myself away from the cliff each time lol

[marble dune]

Tim do we know what kinda wait time there is gonna be?

[wooden granite]

Some of us have bad short-term memory, and things like confirmation emails have contributed further to that lol.

[astral jolt]

there is no time estimated at this point, they are approving on rolling basis

[pine stirrup]

haha, I know how exciting it is 😄 but please don't drool too much here. someone has to clean all that up 😛

[knotty narwhal]

I have already signed up, I don't know when it will be in my possession, that's the question

[terse raptor]

And many of us are creative professionals which means we tend to be moody 😆

Not proud of it, but it's true haha

[wooden granite]

So the one problem I see now is that if you're really trying to generate images with that AI-esque vague watermark showing up, firefly won't be able to do that. lol

[west topaz]

Hi

[pine stirrup]

There are a lot of applications and we are working around the clock to approve, support and answer your questions. Unfortunately, we don't have a time estimate. However, it can be worth checking the #announcements because if we unlock bigger waves of users, we'll let you know 🙂

[muted mulch]

When this was launched? Today?

[pine stirrup]

it was launched two days ago

[muted mulch]

Oh I see, fascinating 🙂

[marble dune]

you coulda just done what U2 did a few years ago, give everyone who subscribes access without them asking... that worked out well

[pine stirrup]

launched as in: the beta was announced

[pine stirrup]

good idea in theory, but with the amount of people applying, the website probably couldn't handle all the prompts. right now Firefly is super fast and that's a good thing. I'm sure you can think of certain other Ai tools which are going down frequently

[marble dune]

you know, i love the foresight that Adobe have had on this, this is easily a blockbuster/netflix moment industry wide

[pine stirrup]

that's why we have this discord community 🙂 - while you wait you can check out #archived-share-your-work-3-23-to-11-23 or simply have a chat with other fellow creatives 🙂

[smoky thistle]

is anyone in the beta able to run a prompt for me and share the result privatley? If this isn't alowed please just let me know

[terse raptor]

That's good insight. But eventually there will be a ton of people using it. I'm guessing you guys have a plan to ramp up the servers to be able to support the demand?

[pine stirrup]

I don't work on the infrastructure, so my guess is as good as yours there. But I suppose it would be a lot easier to scale up gradually as the demand rises

[cinder dirge]

@pine stirrup I mean firefly is running on Nvidia Picasso cloud right? It can handle it :). Let us in!!!!

[pine stirrup]

alright, everyone! ryan said it would be fine! if it breaks, you know who to blame 😛

[smoky thistle]

lol

[cinder dirge]

lol 🙂

[pine stirrup]

all jokes aside, if you have feedback regarding the application/approval process, we're here to listen and relay it to the teams.

[alpine badge]

I'll receive my invitation to the beta when the product will launch haha

[glad cedar]

will adobe firefly be free?

[honest quiver]

Depends on the context you want to use the image in, for example some images are full body poses, and some are cropped, and "better" is subjective, so what I think is better might be different than someone else, just keep exploring until you land on something you love @royal lotus

[smoky thistle]

I doubt that very much

[kindred drum]

Yes, enjoy now that is free

[smoky thistle]

I am hoping it will become a part of the CC I already pay for

[terse raptor]

Yeah I think a lot of us are hoping for that!

[kindred drum]

Would be better

for adobe

not for our pocket haha

[smoky thistle]

These things cost so much $$$ to develop and sustain, they couldn't possibly make it free lol

[slim lion]

I have to imagine (complete speculation) that the integrated tools that will eventually come to Photoshop will be a native part of the application.

[dusty minnow]

I guess too

[smoky thistle]

This makes sense

[dusty minnow]

But its also possible that Firefly integrated into CC could cause CC to cost more

But lets see

[kindred drum]

That's what i mean

[dusty minnow]

This is why Substance wasnt put into CC

[smoky thistle]

I sincerely hope this is not the case, CC is already expensive in my opinion

[kindred drum]

Even more

[dusty minnow]

They left Substance out of CC for a reason

[smoky thistle]

true

[shut dew]

are seeds a ... thing in this model? one thing you can do on the other TTIs is specify a seed value when you test prompts so you know for sure whether the thing you're doing is actually having an effect and you're not being fooled by the placebo effect of a luckier roll

if that's a thing here, it would be nice to have that option

[cinder kettle]

Has anyone tried adobe firefly??

[royal lotus]

Yes, I have

[shut dew]

yeah its pretty good

[cinder kettle]

Can i see some results

[slim lion]

#archived-share-your-work-3-23-to-11-23

[royal lotus]

It is by far the best tool I have come across

[dusty minnow]

Guess i will use Firefly + DALL-E for inpainting a bit

Until Firefly gets Inpainting

[royal lotus]

It is very easy and intuitive

[smoky thistle]

Could you run a prompt for me and share the results to me privatley?

[royal lotus]

Sure

[smoky thistle]

Thanks, I will send a private DM with the prompt, just want to compare to current results

[shut dew]

i'm suddenly getting a ton of these with my prompts

[slim lion]

Looks like @cinder dirge broke the servers 😉

[meager frigate]

Just got access, my Bard and Firefly invites arrived at the same time 😄

[shut dew]

it brings me no joy to say it, because openAI could really use some competition, but bard's a disappointment

[meager frigate]

Also getting this error

[smoky thistle]

hahaa

[slim lion]

I'll let the team know

[meager frigate]

I try not to get caught up in the competition side of things and just appreciate all these releases 😌

[dusty minnow]

Congrats 😄

Meanwhile i didnt even get a single mail in last few hours

XD

[terse raptor]

Yep, still waiting...

[austere bough]

Was here since yesterday

[terse raptor]

I'm glad to hear how much everyone is enjoying it though.

[terse raptor]

Yeah Tuesday afternoon for me. Just hit the 48-hour mark, in fact.

[dusty minnow]

I was at work when it was announced

So tuesday, around 22h was when registered for beta

But man every time, literally every time i look up on this channel the first thing i see is a moderator or admin answering for the 1000th time to people asking when and how they can join

[slim lion]

The team is actively looking into the loading issues

[analog girder]

🤠 Hello.

[dusty minnow]

Hello Triple H, nice to meet you

Did you wrestle today?

0_0

[smoky thistle]

Its all about the Game!

[dusty minnow]

I see what you did there

[terse raptor]

You guys should amend the rules to let people know they can't prompt in here, and add a registration link.

[shut dew]

uh-oh, i think the whole thing may have tipped over

[dusty minnow]

Huch?

Did Skynet finally break out?

[shut dew]

snaaaaake eyyyyyyes

[terse raptor]

I knew the machines would come for us all!!!

[wooden granite]

wut

[shut dew]

yeah now its not even loading the cant load cards

i can't believe ryanweb did this

[ornate glen]

having the same issue 😭

[royal lotus]

same here - call NVIDIA server helpline

[smoky thistle]

SMH @cinder dirge

[slim lion]

Listen, Brandon...❤️

Nice to see you!!

[ornate glen]

i has listened!

good to see you too man @slim lion 😄

[slim lion]

Hopefully the loading issues will be resolved soon. Team is investigating. 🧐

[shut dew]

they just need to reinstall the latest gameready drivers

and download more RAM

[lone rose]

s'pose i better get some work done😮

Thanks for re-updating us after seeing you wrote it like 5 times before LOL

Much appreciated

[split pendant]

can someone with access try asking it to generate a 2d spritesheet for (whatever you want), just curious if it can pull off that kind of operation

maybe something like: 8x8 grid of pixel sprites

[shut dew]

its down right now so

[royal lotus]

second that

[shut dew]

there's a pixel art preset though so i'll definitely try that

[plain hornet]

Hi everyone!

[split pendant]

right now i understand some of the more clear-cut use cases, in place of stock photos, and various types of what I would call "pure art", but i am wondering how it does at creating what I would call "animation production art", though i'm sure that's not industry terms. being a non-artist myself

[quaint lily]

@ornate glen heyoo!

[slim lion]

Firefly being down is a sign from the Universe to get more coffee. Brb!

[meager frigate]

I join the beta and suddenly the images stop loading, sorry everyone!

[terse raptor]

I was replying to the Skynet comment.

[gloomy nest]

eeeey I've been accepted! been checking out how Ff interprets my artistic style with various prompts and then the servers went kaput. I think i need more coffee too @slim lion lmao

[silk tartan]

I'm ready to play... Let's GO!!!

[wooden granite]

Firefly is down = touch grass

[terse raptor]

Saaaaaaame! lol

[terse raptor]

Or apparently drink coffee lol

Besides it's raining here haha

[wooden granite]

Why not both?

[gloomy nest]

the answer is always coffee ☕

[worthy fog]

if everyone stops using it for exactly 3 minutes, everything will work again

[terse raptor]

Actually, coffee on the grass sounds nice.

But again, it's raining...

[gloomy nest]

doesnt it tho? lol

[silk tartan]

I'm just glad that Adobe is in the game.

[late briar]

hi . i cant find how is it work. anybody can help me?

[gloomy nest]

Also, @quaint lily i would like to recommend adding a 'status' channel in discord for admins to post updates on performance and version changes.

[lone rose]

Firefly down, Quick call Malcolm Reynolds, Jane, Hoban Washburne and Kaylee

[astral jolt]

See #faq you would have to register for beta, there is a website link there

[terse raptor]

Go here: firefly.adobe.com

You need an Adobe ID, and then you need to fill out a form and request access.

[winter river]

how long after you apply for the beta do you have to wait to get access?

[shut dew]

this is what i get for "sprite sheet for black mage" with the pixel art preset, so yeah, that's not quite ready for prime time

[terse raptor]

ewwww

[small moon]

Hi @late briar : Can you specify what you are having problems with?

[split pendant]

heh, i think it probably needs more context to understand what is meant by a sprite sheet

[late briar]

i was do that operation in website and got invitation to discord
now i dont know how asking from this ai for a simple picture !

[desert fjord]

When I click request access nothing happens can anyone help me?

[quaint lily]

Thanks for the suggestion! Point taken and considered 🙂

[small moon]

Beta applications are being approved on a rolling basis and you'll receive a confirmation email once you've been granted access. At this time we do not have an accurate estimate for when access will be granted. Hang in there!

[shut dew]

i'm clicking generate every once in a while to check if its back up and every so often one grid is going through

[astral jolt]

you will receive an email wit further details

[late briar]

sorry for my weak language . english isnt my native

[shadow zealot]

Until we're all accepted: Just keep putting out milk and cookies for Adobe Claus

[small moon]

Which browser are you on?

[desert fjord]

Chrome

[gloomy nest]

yw and of course. 🙂

[cloud widget]

and later, I guess it will be added here?: https://status.adobe.com/

[split pendant]

GPT-4 says this is a better prompt to try. might be too big, i dunno.

"Create a 2D, tile-based spritesheet with a pixel art style, suitable for a top-down RPG game similar to those created in RPG Maker. The spritesheet should consist of 16x16 pixel tiles, featuring various terrain, objects, and characters. Please include the following elements:

Grass, dirt, and water terrain tiles with smooth transitions between them.
Forest elements like trees, bushes, and rocks.
Pathways, roads, and bridges to connect different areas.
Structures such as houses, shops, and castles, with exterior and interior tilesets.
Props like signs, fences, and treasure chests.
A variety of characters, including a protagonist, villagers, merchants, and enemies, with walking and idle animations.

Make sure the tiles seamlessly connect with each other, allowing for the creation of diverse and engaging game environments. Use a cohesive color palette and consistent style throughout the entire spritesheet."

[small moon]

We have channels in some other languages as well

[shut dew]

GPT-4 does not know how to prompt and it is a mystery to me why everyone thinks it does

isnt the entire point of a sprite sheet getting the same character in different frames

[split pendant]

just a one-shot try. clearly it doesn't "understand" the idea and needs some structure, even if what it produces inside that structure isn't precisely right

[shut dew]

the problem is that TTIs don't do "instruct" language in the way LLMs do

[split pendant]

ah

[late briar]

yes i see the other channels , but im persian and you havent farsi channel 🙂 . english is better for me . i learn more...

[shut dew]

so imperative commants like "create this" and "it should do this" are just noise

[split pendant]

well i defer to your superior knowledge on that.

[shut dew]

theres a few things i can grab from there

but i also don't know what the prompt limits are

like is this clip? do we get 77 tokens?

[small moon]

No worries, we are here to help. Happy to have you here.

[small moon]

That's strange. It should work on Chrome. Can you try a different browser, Safari or edge?

[tired raven]

I prompted 'a cabin in the woods' and it gave me a beautiful photo of a cabin. Then I added 'with a monkey in the yard'....and it gave me a monkey that looked like it went through the transporter pods in 'The Fly'. I wonder why it had trouble.

[shut dew]

maybe its a GAN

[tired raven]

Try a photo

[silk tartan]

Does "Can't load This image produced an error. Please try again." mean that I've done something wrong?

[shut dew]

i do believe i'm nudging it a bit closer to the core concept

[split pendant]

wow, yeah!

what was your prompt if you don't mind me asking?

[shut dew]

but the results are still a bit too wild for actual use

2D spritesheet of pixelated character with red hair wearing red armor in assorted various fighting poses, sprite sheet, pixel art, NES, 8-bit (art, pixel art presets)

so uhh not so much the armor

[split pendant]

it looks like the way your prompt is constructed is almost like adding tags to your core prompt

[shut dew]

(i'm prompting both spritesheet and sprite sheet because idk how the text stuff works)

yeah, that's the way to do it in most of these TTIs

[muted vector]

I had a similar but different take on the cabin theme 🙂

[shut dew]

i bet i could stack on a few more synonyms

[tall turtle]

Seemingly can't put any type of weapon in the prompt. Tried to have a rifle and a sword, and got the words violating the terms prompt. So instead I settled with a sausage on their shoulder.

[small moon]

Now I hear you. 😉

[valid glacier]

Village

[tall turtle]

A fearsome warrior.

[shut dew]

i really hope that gets loosened its gonna really straitjacket a lot of creative work if this can only be used for stuff that passes muster at disneyland

[astral jolt]

when sharing share with watermark please

I need sleep, forgot how typing works

[pine stirrup]

probably doesn't understand the word spritesheet. If you describe it as a grid, the results will probably be better

[shut dew]

*detuned victory theme*

[honest quiver]

@silk tartan We're aware of the issue #community-chat message

[shut dew]

so yeah, the answer to can it do pixel art is "sort of but not really" (this is also the answer for every other current TTI so no shame in that)

[astral jolt]

Its solved though

its working again

[lone rose]

close enough for the canned reply

[void carbon]

hi @charred plover At first, Firefly will be integrated into Adobe Express, Photoshop, Illustrator, and Adobe Experience Manager. The eventual plan is to bring it to Creative Cloud, Document Cloud, and Experience Cloud applications where content is created and modified.

[split pendant]

excellent. it's getting there

[shut dew]

check out this refreshing beverage

[split pendant]

looks like it might be able to be coaxed into doing it with the right amount of prompt design

[charred plover]

Sorry Jean should of been more specific it's unrelated to firefly and related to compatibility on a Microsoft Server Citrix farm.

[shut dew]

alright its time for me to raid my midjourney archive for text memes and see how many words i can coax out of this

[cinder dirge]

Add Adobe XD to that list. Train it on the best UI optimized designs and be able to prompt it for website or app page designs.

[charred plover]

Would be cool to verify signatures on Adobe using AI

[quaint lily]

Welcome @shut pawn - you need access to the beta before you can use Firefly. Check out #faq for how to apply

[charred plover]

Have like a signature database assign it to a token and an ai references a signature check

Block chain ai signature recognition

[spiral grove]

My prediction. Generated art that will end up in layers in Photoshop.....Bring it Adobe. That will hurt Midjourney.

[hybrid junco]

Would be great to collab with MJ, not hurt them 🙂

[elder tusk]

Dora the explorer

[gilded zodiac]

Midjourney would need to change the dataset they train their AI on before they do that though

[tall turtle]

So scrap everything and start again 😛

okay, i'm definitely getting better results for text when i repeat it in the prompt
