At this year’s Adobe Summit, Adobe pulled back the curtain on a nifty addition to its generative artificial intelligence platform Firefly. Called ‘Structure Reference’, the feature aims to help users shape their ideas into reality more precisely and with less fuss, putting more creative power into their hands.
Structure Reference lets creatives take an existing image and use it as a template or backbone to generate new works that share the same layout. For example, you might like the layout of a room or the composition of a landscape and wish to insert it into a more fantastical scenario. With this capability, you’re spared the back-and-forth of tweaking prompts to get this dream setting just right, complete with the same placements.

The possibilities with Structure Reference are quite substantial. Users can transform spaces with a simple upload and click, converting a sketch or photo of a room into different designs. It can also morph a child’s drawing into polished art, swap styles from paintings to photorealistic images, breathe color into black-and-white photos, or even craft entirely new subjects within the confines of the original structure.

Moreover, when paired with Adobe Firefly’s ‘Style Reference’—a similar feature that applies a specific artistic style to your creations based on an example image—users gain an unprecedented ability to mold their projects with nuanced control over both style and structure for the most visually articulated ideas.
All Firefly-generated outputs are appended with the Content Credentials icon, essentially a digital “nutrition label,” to provide transparency about the AI’s role in shaping the final image.
The Structure Reference capability is now live within the Text to Image module on the Firefly web application, accessible on both web browsers and mobile devices.
