Learn how to use an existing image in the canvas and generate new images that maintain a similar style or composition, with subtle variations.
The Vary feature in Firefly Boards helps you explore multiple creative interpretations of an image already placed on the canvas. Instead of starting from scratch, it allows you to generate new images that maintain the main idea of the image with subtle variations in style, composition, or elements. It enables rapid iteration and experimentation with different visual styles and ideas.
Before you begin
Upload or generate an image and add it to the canvas.
Select the Vary icon to create the variations using the Firefly Image model.
Select from the following three options:
- More like this: Generate images that closely reflect the original in terms of overall composition, mood, and conceptual intent.
- Keep style: Preserve the artistic style of the original image—such as watercolor, photorealism, or other distinctive techniques.
- Keep subject: Ensure the main subject of the original image remains intact, whether it's a person, animal, or object.
Once the variations are generated, you can edit and rearrange them just like any other image added to the canvas.
Select any of the generated images and you have the following editing and adjustment options:
