Get Started

• Access Information

  University of Miami students, faculty, and staff can access Adobe Firefly by visiting firefly.adobe.com. Ensure you are logged into the Internet browser* with your UM email (e.g., sign in with your CaneID email and password). You can also use Adobe Firefly within various Adobe Creative Cloud (CC) apps (currently in beta).

  *Instructions to Access the Adobe Online Portal:

  • Log in to Adobe's Enterprise ID sign in page by entering your preferred University of Miami email address, and then clicking the "Sign in with Enterprise ID" button (you do not need to enter a password here).
  • You will be redirected to the University of Miami's sign in page. Log in with your CaneID and password, and verify your login with Duo multi-factor authentication (MFA). Once complete, you'll be logged into the Adobe online portal.

Frequently Asked Questions

• What is Adobe Firefly?

  Firefly is the new family of creative generative AI models coming to Adobe products, focusing initially on image and text effect generation. Firefly will offer new ways to ideate, create, and communicate while significantly improving creative workflows. Firefly is the natural extension of the technology Adobe has produced over the past 40 years, driven by the belief that people should be empowered to bring their ideas into the world precisely as they imagine them.

• What is generative AI?

  Generative AI is a type of artificial intelligence that can translate ordinary words and other inputs into extraordinary results. While the conversation around this technology has centered on AI image and art generation, generative AI can do much more than generate static images from text prompts. With a few simple words and the right AI generator, anyone can create videos, documents, and digital experiences, as well as rich images and art. AI art generators can also be useful for producing "creative building blocks" like brushes, vectors, and textures that can add to or form the foundation of pieces of content.

• What are some uses for AI generators?

  AI generators like Firefly can enhance creativity by giving people new ways to imagine, experiment, and bring their ideas to life. Firefly is unique because Adobe intends it to be more than an AI text-to-image generator. As part of Creative Cloud, Firefly supplements the creative tools Adobe creators know and love with text-based editing and generation of a variety of media, from still images to video to 3D, as well as "creative building blocks" like brushes, vectors, textures, and more.

  For Firefly, the future vision is for creators to be able to use everyday language and other inputs to quickly be able to test out design variations, remove distractions from photos, add elements to an illustration, change the mood of a video, add texture to 3D objects, create digital experiences, and more—then seamlessly customize and edit their content using a combination of Firefly and other Creative Cloud tools.

• How do AI art generators work?

  As a type of generative AI technology, AI art generators work similarly to other types of artificial intelligence, which use a machine learning model and large datasets to be able to produce a specific type of result. With generative AI, anybody can use everyday language and other inputs to produce images, videos, documents, digital experiences, and more. Adobe Firefly will be built into Creative Cloud to give people the tools to both generate results quickly and customize them to fit their unique vision.
