Adobe updates Firefly with reusable design elements and projects

In short: Adobe has started a private test of a redesigned Firefly studio that helps people reuse the same design pieces across projects, and it adds new logo and video tools.

What happened

Adobe announced a redesigned version of its Firefly AI studio, and it is launching in a private beta, which means only some people can try it for now. The company says the new setup is meant to keep your work organized in one place, so you do not have to jump between different apps as often.

A key new feature is called Elements. It lets you save characters, objects, and backgrounds you already made, then reuse them later by name. For example, you can upload a reference image of a room, name it “Charlie’s bedroom,” and ask Firefly to make a new scene in that same room without rewriting long instructions each time (like reusing the same actors and sets in a TV show).

Another feature is Projects, which stores your images, generated results, and the “creative context” together. In simple terms, it tries to remember what you were doing so you can pick up where you left off.

Adobe is also adding tools to the Firefly AI assistant, which is the chat-style helper it introduced earlier this year. It can now create a brand kit, including a logo and color palette, based on a company name and style description. It is also adding video features like Quick Cut, which can assemble clips into a first draft edit that you can fine-tune.

Why it matters

For designers, marketers, and small business owners, consistency is often the hard part. Adobe is trying to make Firefly act more like an organized workspace that remembers your usual look and pieces, so repeating a style across posts, ads, and videos takes less manual effort.
