What you’ll learn
Build a strong visual foundation in Photoshop
Start with your subject, remove the background, and use Harmonize to blend everything into one cohesive scene. Push it further with a color preset that defines mood and strengthens the story.
Explore bold visual directions in Firefly
Upload your image as a reference and reinterpret it with a bold prompt. Switch between Firefly Image 4 and partner models to unlock unexpected styles and push the creative direction further.
Bring it to life with simple motion
Drop your final artwork back into Photoshop and use a clipping mask to merge two variations into one dynamic composition. Add simple keyframe animation to introduce motion, then export a refined video built for social.
