Copyright and Adobe Firefly

Firefly is trained on Adobe Stock images as well as openly licensed and public domain content. Adobe states on their website that they compensate Adobe Stock contributors whose content is used in the dataset to train Firefly.

Firefly features such as image generator, generative fill, and generative extend are available in Adobe Express, Photoshop, Illustrator, Premiere Pro and other Adobe applications.

Here are some guidelines for using the generative features in Adobe Creative Cloud:

  • Check with your professor if it is permissible for an assignment.
  • Can be helpful for ideation or as a starting point for arts & design students.
  • Don't upload a copyrighted image into an AI tool without permission.
  • Avoid generating an image in a style that mimics the style of a specific artist or with the same composition of an existing work (e.g., mentioning an artist or a work in a prompt).
  • Note that whether an AI-generated work qualifies for copyright protection is uncertain at this time Acknowledge the use of AI when used!
