Where can I send feedback about an Early Access title?

If you have any feedback about the product you're reading, or Early Access in general, then please fill out a contact form here and we'll make sure the feedback gets to the right team.

Can I download the code files for Early Access titles?

We try to ensure that all books in Early Access have code available to use, download, and fork on GitHub. This helps us be more agile in the development of the book, and helps keep the often changing code base of new versions and new technologies as up to date as possible. Unfortunately, however, there will be rare cases when it is not possible for us to have downloadable code samples available until publication.

When we publish the book, the code files will also be available to download from the Packt website.

How accurate is the publication date?

The publication date is as accurate as we can be at any point in the project. Unfortunately, delays can happen. Often those delays are out of our control, such as changes to the technology code base or delays in the tech release. We do our best to give you an accurate estimate of the publication date at any given time, and as more chapters are delivered, the more accurate the delivery date will become.

How will I know when new chapters are ready?

We'll let you know every time there has been an update to a course that you've bought in Early Access. You'll get an email to let you know there has been a new chapter, or a change to a previous chapter. The new chapters are automatically added to your account, so you can also check back there any time you're ready and download or read them online.

Early Access helps to unlock the potential of our content early, to help you start your learning when you need it most. You not only get access to every chapter as it's delivered, edited, and updated, but you'll also get the finalized, DRM-free product to download in any format you want when it's published.

This book is an early gem to familiarize yourself with the power of GenAI in creative workflows using Adobe's powerful creative suite. I have maintained that the moat of visual GenAI lies in how it reimagines creative workflows and this book talks about exactly that. Some of the topics that the book sheds light on which I find useful for me:1. how to use AdobeExpress to accelerate content creation worlflows using Adobe's creative suite,2. prompt cheat sheet and reverse engineering prompts for Adobe Firefly,3. generative Recolor in Adobe Illustrator.Looking forward to the next version of the book which covers even the new features like Object Composites and Custom Models!

Great tool for learning Adobe fireflyThis book is a valuable early resource for anyone looking to harness the power of generative AI (GenAI) in creative workflows using Adobe's robust creative suite. I’ve always believed that the true strength of visual GenAI lies in its ability to reinvent creative processes, and this book delves into just that. It provides insights into how to utilize Adobe Express to streamline content creation workflows, offers a prompt cheat sheet along with techniques for reverse engineering prompts in Adobe Firefly, and explores the use of Generative Recolor in Adobe Illustrator.
