Overview
Adobe Firefly is built directly into the tools you already use—Photoshop, InDesign, Illustrator, and Premiere Pro. This half-day workshop gives you a focused walkthrough of Firefly’s AI features inside those applications so you can extend backgrounds, generate vectors, recolor artwork, and enhance video without leaving your favorite Adobe tools.
You’ll learn what each Firefly feature does best, where it falls short, and how to integrate AI-generated elements into production-ready designs. This is a practical, tool-focused session—not theory, not prompt engineering, just the Adobe Firefly features that save time and solve layout problems.

Customization Options
This course can be customized to focus on the Adobe tools your team uses most. If your work is primarily in Photoshop and InDesign, we can spend more time on image compositing and layout workflows. Video-focused teams can dive deeper into Premiere Pro’s AI features. We’ll adjust the session to match your production needs.
