Content is now the backbone of business.

Across industries and departments, businesses depend on content to deliver personalized

experiences for their customers. When you’re facing furious demand for more, supplying it can

be frustratingly slow. Creatives get held up in tedious, time-wasting tasks. Marketing teams can’t

make custom updates without studio help and get tangled in budget and timeline constraints.

No matter how big your content goals are, staying inspired and productive in the face of these

practical constraints is challenging.

Accelerate your organization’s content creation.

You can’t replace human ingenuity—but you can aid it with generative AI. When integrated into

existing workflows, generative AI opens the door to new ideas, new methods of collaboration,

and new possibilities for the scale and speed at which you can create content that impacts

customers and drives business growth.

With the generative AI power of Adobe Firefly, you don’t have to be held back by traditional speed

limits on content creation. Get inspired by this exploration of practical use cases demonstrating

how generative AI can make on-brand, on-trend content creation a faster, smoother ride for

everyone from idea to launch to perfect landing.

This eBook will explore use cases for generative AI within creative

workflows, how to use prompts, and how to leverage Adobe

Express across the organization.

How to use generative prompts in Adobe Express.

Prompts are descriptions you type to generate the visual effect you want to create. A text-based prompt is how

you drive Adobe Firefly powered features like Text to Image and Generative Fill throughout Adobe apps you know

and love, like Adobe Photoshop and Adobe Illustrator.

Text-based prompts are intuitive and easy to use to jumpstart creative ideation. Sometimes the best method is

good old-fashioned experimentation, but you can follow this process to hone in on the results you’re looking for:

Try this classic formula: Subject + description + context + style = image.

Refine your prompt by selecting a content type, style, color, lighting, and composition.

Explore, compare, and select your favorite versions.

When writing a prompt, consider the weather, the time of day, and the place. You can even name a city or country.

Your words are your drawing tools. Use photographic terms like “shallow depth of field” and composition terms like

“wide” and “shot from below.” Your prompt doesn’t need to be long. Sometimes simple is better, but you can write up

to 175 words, using vivid details and concrete language to produce more predictable results, or abstract language to

produce surprising results. Make sure you separate descriptors using commas. Adobe Firefly is trained on Adobe Stock,

so explore Adobe Stock keywords for ideas, then align keywords with your branding, audience, and business goals.

Tasked with designing a new color theme and ad campaign content for a product launch, a creative

team can use generative AI tools and connected apps to jump faster from brainstorming to bringing a

new product to market. At key stages in the creative process, the team can:

Get ideas and test using

Generative Recolor

in Illustrator.

Display the product in different settings using

Generative Fill

in Photoshop.

Use

Creative Cloud Libraries

to easily place updated on-brand content into your design.

Access linked assets in

Adobe Express

and sync them with updates.

Creative teams

Creative teams can use the tools they know and love, like Adobe Photoshop and Adobe Illustrator, to develop key

visuals, illustrations, and video and animations, plus the look and feel for campaigns. Then, they can easily access

linked Adobe Photoshop and Adobe Illustrator assets right in Adobe Express, with updates always in sync. In

Adobe Express, creatives can get back to focusing on high-value content creation by providing branded templates

with design elements locked to enable cross-functional teams to manage repetitive creative tasks and last-mile

edits. Adobe Express also allows creative teams to automate derivative asset creation, designing color themes and

content in a variety of different sizes and variations.

Marketers

Marketing teams are tasked with designing high-impact campaigns and executing them across countless

platforms. Using the branded assets and templates the creative team built out for Adobe Express, marketers can

easily and quickly create social posts, graphics, flyers, banners, animations, videos, and more—without having to

open up multiple applications, download fonts, or submit creative requests.

Human resources

The human resources workflow continues to evolve—and recruiting and managing the employee lifecycle requires

more engaging, helpful content than ever. Creatives can empower the human resources department to do what

they do best, nurturing employees from recruitment through their entire relationship with the company through

thoughtful on-brand content, including newsletters and internet content, onboarding materials, print flyers and

banners, and digital job board ads.

Sales

The name of the modern sales game is efficiency and volume. As sales and business development representatives

work to hit their targets and stay ahead of the curve, Adobe Express helps them build customized marketing and

sales materials for specific regions, markets, and customers.

To effectively scale a campaign to other regions or even globally, marketing teams must localize

content. This is easier than ever (and doesn’t require bringing in the creative team at every step) with

Adobe Express.

Creative team creates the brand assets and templates.

Marketing teams can apply those templates to multichannel assets for brand consistency.

Field marketing teams can access the campaign assets and localize to the regional needs.

Other regional teams can start new Adobe Express projects from on-brand templates for new

social posts, flyers, web banners, and other content.

How to use Quick Actions.

When you and your team need to get something done, you don’t want to waste time searching

through menus or decoding the functions of various icons. Quick Actions make quality work

achievable in less time—even for teams not traditionally immersed in design software.

Quick Actions are closely aligned with outcomes. They can help with image resizing, video editing, and

file conversion.

Let’s say you need to edit an image for an email, flyer, or presentation, and add an animation to a static

image. After you use your company’s approved brand kit in Adobe Express to create an Instagram post,

you want to animate it. In seconds, you can create a custom ad:

Under

Quick Actions

, find

Resize image

Choose a size template.

Instantly download or keep editing.

Continue by animating elements and

save as a GIF.

With a

Quick Action

you’ve been able to:

•

Make quick edits with confidence without

depending on your creative team.

•

Reduce agency costs to make quick changes

to a campaign.

•

Scale your ability to create more meaningful content personalized per region.

•

Resize content, convert files, and add animated effects in seconds.

generate static images. With Adobe Firefly, anyone can use a few simple words to create rich images and art.

Firefly can supercharge creative teams, empowering marketers and other communicators to produce engaging

assets that keep the entire organization on brand and on-trend.

And because of Adobe's ethical approach to generative AI technology development, Adobe Firefly is designed to

be commercially safe and trained on licensed Adobe Stock and public domain images where copyright has expired,

so your enterprise can generate content for public and commercial use with greater peace of mind. Enterprises

also have the opportunity to obtain an IP indemnity from Adobe for content generated by select workflows

By default, Firefly includes Content Credentials on every asset created using Firefly to indicate that generative AI

was used, bringing more trust and transparency to digital content. Content Credentials are verifiable details that

serve as a digital “nutrition label.” They can show information including an asset’s name, creation date, tools used

for creation, and any edits made. Powered by free open-source technology from the Content Authenticity Initiative

(CAI), this data remains associated with content wherever it appears, whether published or stored, enabling proper

attribution and helping consumers make informed decisions about digital content.

Your teams can get branded content to market faster and with the confidence that assets produced using Adobe

Firefly can be safe for commercial use.

Create engaging experiences at scale.
