Welcome! This guide isn't just about writing prompts—it's about learning a complete creative framework. Inspired by the best pedagogical practices, we'll teach you the C-P-R Method: a systematic process to Conceptualize, Prompt, and Refine your ideas into professional-grade game assets using Adobe Firefly.
Before we create, let's get familiar with the workspace. Click on the labeled areas below to learn their function.
These 5 scenarios take you step-by-step through the C-P-R Method. You'll see exactly how a designer's mind works, from the first vague idea to the final, polished asset.
A structured reference table for Firefly's key features and controls. Use this as a quick guide to remember the purpose of each tool.
| Feature / Control | Option / Parameter Name | Range / Choices / Defaults | Purpose / Notes / Behavior |
|---|---|---|---|
| Model / Engine | Firefly Image models | e.g. Image Model 4, Image Model 4 Ultra | Different models yield different fidelity, style, and detail. Use higher models for photorealism. |
| General Settings | Aspect Ratio | Square, Landscape, Portrait, Widescreen | Controls the framing shape of generated images. Changing this shifts layout. |
| General Settings | Content Type | Auto, Photo, Art/Illustration | Determines photorealism vs stylized looks. "Auto" allows Firefly to choose intelligently. |
| Structure | Composition Reference | Upload any image as structure guide | Used to guide composition: position, layout, shape, pose. |
| Structure | Strength (Structure) | Low, Medium (default), High | Controls how strictly the generated image matches the structure reference. |
| Style | Style Reference | Upload any image for style matching | Guides colors, textures, mood, lighting from reference. |
| Style | Visual Intensity | Slider (0–100, default ~50) | Controls how "bold / detailed" the base image is before applying style reference. |
| Style | Strength (Style) | Slider (Low → High) | Controls how closely the output should follow the style reference. Higher = tighter match. |
| Effects | Preset / Effect Options | Anime, Minimalism, Vector, etc. | Shifts the genre / rendering style of the image. |
| Effects | Lighting Options | Golden Hour, Dramatic, Low Light, Studio | Controls the mood and direction of lighting in the generated image. |
| Effects | Camera Settings | Close-up, Wide Angle, Shot from Above | Defines perspective and relationship between viewer and subject. |
| Advanced | API Presets | bw, fantasy, dramatic_light, etc. | Can be passed in API calls with a "strength" parameter to influence output. |
| Advanced | Custom Models | Supports enterprise fine-tuning | Enterprises can train Firefly to match brand identity and style. |
