Style Presets

Use style presets to customize the look and feel of your generated images.

Understanding style presets

Firefly offers a collection of style presets to use with the Generate Images API that can give generated images a specific visual style or mood. By indicating these presets in the API request, you have more control, beyond the prompt, to create image variations.

Style presets are defined in the presets array in the Generate Images API request. All presets in the array apply to the generated image. To influence the impact of the presets, add or adjust the strength value.

Concepts in action

Let's use style presets to generate a few image variations.

data-variant=warning

data-slots=heading, text

1. First, open a secure terminal and export your Client ID and Access Token as environment variables:

export FIREFLY_SERVICES_CLIENT_ID=<your_Client_ID>
export FIREFLY_SERVICES_ACCESS_TOKEN=<your_Access_Token>

2. Next, make the request to the Generate Images API. We'll use a prompt for a Shakespearean puppy, and enter a few presets so that they apply together:

curl --location 'https://firefly-api.adobe.io/v3/images/generate-async' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
--header 'Accept: application/json' \
--header "x-api-key: $FIREFLY_SERVICES_CLIENT_ID" \
--header "Authorization: Bearer $FIREFLY_SERVICES_ACCESS_TOKEN" \
--data '{
    "prompt": "a puppy dressed as a renaissance artist",
    "numVariations": 4,
    "style": {
        "presets": [
            "bw", "fantasy", "dramatic_light"
        ]
    }
}'

The request returns a rapid response for the asynchronous job:

{   
    "jobId":"<YOUR_JOB_ID>",
    "statusUrl":"https://firefly-epo854211.adobe.io/v3/status/urn:ff:jobs:...",
    "cancelUrl":"https://firefly-epo854211.adobe.io/v3/cancel/urn:ff:jobs:..."
}

3. Use the jobId to see the result:

data-variant=info

data-slots=heading, text

curl -X GET "https://firefly-api.adobe.io/v3/status/<YOUR_JOB_ID>" \
    -H "x-api-key: $FIREFLY_SERVICES_CLIENT_ID" \
    -H "Authorization: Bearer $FIREFLY_SERVICES_ACCESS_TOKEN" \
    -H "Content-Type: application/json"

You'll see results similar to our example below. Notice that all the defined presets were applied to the prompt for a renaissance puppy!
