Learn how to create elements using the new generation and editing experience in Adobe Firefly.
The new generation and editing experience is a beta feature in Adobe Firefly, currently available for testing and feedback.
Elements let you define and reuse consistent subjects, characters, or objects across your projects. By creating an element with reference visuals and descriptions, you can help Firefly maintain consistency in the appearance, identity, and other relevant details for a subject throughout the generated scenes.
Select the Upload image button to upload more reference images from Your device or Adobe cloud storage.

Alternatively, to create a new element without using a previously generated image, select + Create new element.
Set the element type by selecting Character, Location, or Object.
In the Name the <element> field, enter a name for the element.
In the Describe the <element> field, provide details to define the element's appearance and attributes. You can also specify the attributes that you'd want the model to ignore.
Select the Create element button to save it.
Add more definition to a Character element by generating its Character sheet. Select the preferred options under Head, expressions & feature, and Body, poses & movement, and then select Generate all.
To use a previously created element with your prompt, go to the generation bar, select Image / Video > Elements > Element name.
