    Select the Generative Layer to bring up the Properties panel to further edit your text prompt or work with the variations.

  6. Generate more variations.

    (Optional) To generate additional variations, modify the text prompt and tap Generate in the Properties panel. 

    Tap the three-dot icon in the top-right corner of the variation to delete it from the Properties panel. 

Create confidently, knowing that Generative Fill is powered by Adobe Firefly, the family of creative generative AI models that are designed to be safe for commercial use—ensuring you can push the bounds of your creativity. Firefly is trained on Adobe Stock’s hundreds of millions of professional-grade, licensed, high-resolution images that are among the highest quality in the market.
