The Photo Restoration and Generative Expand options and processes are incredible.

The one thing I've noticed with Firefly: adding modifications to a gen, either in the prompt or styles/materials, will often use the existing compositions as a base. I'm often seeing the same forms & compositions repeated over multiple generations. If you want to completely refresh the image from scratch, you have to hit Refresh a couple more times. It would be great if Firefly came with a generate option for either 'Refresh' or 'New Seed', especially moving forward when each generation will eat up your credits.

My goodness you knocked this Masterclass out the park! I typically don't watch these Live videos because I find the pace lacking. However this was so concisely done and you covered a ton of ground. Thank you for your effort!

[elfikluck]

Excellent video! I will definitively use these tools in my work! Thanks

[emmasiimwe]

I love the interior design potential this AI has! Mind blown!

[JHamid-qhnx]

A great option with generative fill would be to be able to freeze certain areas that you do not want changed like with liquify (unless this is already possible and I cannot find it). Great tutorial. I usually enjoy your videos. This tech is wild indeed.

Thank you, a lot of technique and inspiration! Best regards from Germany

[KirkLyman]

Thanks Howard, Great explanation/demo!!!

[bexraphaela]

I just love these videos. It’s giving me new ideas to take into consideration when editing a photo. The abilities are endless!

[TheOriginalXultar]

Amazing video. I got a great intro to the tools and learned so much!

[neersproductionsnelsonrodr]

awesome!! I love the video feature of expanding the canvas.

I feel like the Text Effect is an old school thing that was dug out of the attic. There are better options out there. The text to vector is pretty cool for logos and branding.

I wonder whether there is a way to use the GenFill to simply remove lipstick without changing the shape of the lips. Over all, I wish the GenFill function would have more options to control the command, as it mostly feels rather clumsy. Especially when performing subtle tasks.

What's the best way to download/upscale these generated images for commercial purpose?

[GetOutandKayakMalta]

Thank you for the tips! Watching from Malta 🇲🇹

[mcroman-superfeat]

BIG THX for sharing this, little struggle but in the end I made it! ;)

How would we use this during live video calls such as zoom meetings, etc to create custom ai backgrounds for live video?

[JaySnow]

Hey, first thing: thanks for great video, it helps a lot to grasp techniques to use ff efficient way.

Now QUESTION for a million: once generations will become limited to specific number, will each iteration consume the limit of credits even while I didn’t yet got the image that I need?

[royberkelhammer]

Regarding using the 40% mask trick/grey layer trick to create the oil painting look (and I've also seen it used for retouching faces etc.), is there a way to use that trick or something similar but with Firefly and no Photoship?
