Define generative AI and distinguish it from traditional editing tools in your own words

Explain how diffusion-based image generation works at a conceptual level

Identify the core Firefly capabilities and where each is accessed in Adobe workflows

Map each exam domain to your current confidence level in a written self-assessment

Deconstruct a prompt into subject, style, composition, lighting, and medium components

Write 15 original prompts varying one variable at a time to observe effect

Generate images from those prompts and log how each change altered output

Explain how aspect ratio, style presets, and reference inputs influence results

Refine vague prompts into specific, descriptive ones using concrete nouns and modifiers

Practice crafting prompts for specific use cases such as product shots, editorial, and social

Diagnose failed generations and rewrite prompts to correct them

Compare text-to-image output quality across prompt structures

Apply generative fill to add, remove, and replace objects in an image

Use generative expand to extend a canvas and match surrounding content

Practice iterative selection and prompt refinement for precise edits

Evaluate when generative editing is the right tool versus manual retouching

Perform enhancement tasks such as upscaling, cleanup, and object removal

Maintain visual consistency across a set of related edited images

Combine generative edits with layer and mask workflows
