If you’ve ever seen the same image in an Instagram ad and then spotted it again on a poster on the street, there’s a decent chance both came from the same hero asset.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you want to create your own hero asset, or keep reusing one across different versions of a campaign so the look stays recognizable from one season to the next, here’s a straightforward way to do it in Firefly<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What\u2019s a hero shot, and what\u2019s a hero asset?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A hero shot is the image that makes your product look its very best. In ad terms, it\u2019s the main product image, the one you\u2019d put on a homepage, in a header, or anywhere else people are going to notice right away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A hero asset is a bit broader. It\u2019s the main piece the whole campaign is built around, the source material that later gets turned into social ads, posters, and everything in between. That asset could be a photo, an illustration, or even a video. The format matters less than the job it plays: it\u2019s the starting point for the rest of the campaign.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A lot of the time, those two things overlap. A strong hero shot can also serve as the hero asset. One solid image can become the piece the entire campaign grows out of.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why Firefly helps here<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Firefly<\/a> is Adobe\u2019s generative AI model. It\u2019s built into major Adobe apps like Photoshop and Premiere, though you can also use it on its own in a browser or through the official iOS and Android apps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And it\u2019s not limited to making images from text prompts. You also get tools like Generative Fill, Generative Extension, and text-based editing. If you want to keep working on something later, you can open it in Photoshop, Adobe Express, or another Adobe app.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For this kind of workflow, Firefly<\/a> by itself may already be enough. You can change one part of an image without reworking the whole thing, which makes it practical for trying color shifts, lighting tweaks, and other variations without having to start over every time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Start with your hero shot, then turn one image into four seasonal versions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Seasonal adaptations are easier than they sound. We\u2019ll walk through the process in Firefly<\/a> below, but first, one useful tip: keep the original file untouched and make all your edits on copies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
