Check out this support video to learn the basics:

To get started, go the + button then Apps and select AI Image Generator to enable it. You can choose to enable it just for you, or you can select which libraries you want to allow it for your students too.

You can also access and enable Apps from the Teacher Dashboard. On the top of the screen, you will see the tabs for Libraries, Discover, Learn, Certification, and Apps. Simply go to the Apps section and enable or disable the apps of your choice.

Make sure you read Adobe's Terms of Service before you use the app. You can review important notes by clicking on the App Privacy details in the bottom left.

To start using Adobe's image generator in Book Creator, click on the + button, then Apps and choose AI Image Generator.

To use the AI Image Generator app, you must have an Adobe for Education account. When you open the app from Book Creator you'll be prompted to sign in.

You can create an Adobe Education account at adobe.com/education/express/ this will give you and your students free access to their premium features.

Visit Adobe's Education Deployment Home for more information.

If your students don't already use Adobe, we recommend setting up their free accounts in Adobe, before they use the AI Image Generator app in Book Creator
​

N.B. Please ensure you're using an Education account as this ensures you and your students will benefit from additional security measures and content filters.

Once you've opened the app and signed in, you'll be shown four example images and the prompts that were used to generate them. From here you can choose to use one of the example prompts or to write your own!
​

You can select the image shape you'd like to create, as well as the art style you'd like it to be in. You also have the option to upload an image as a design or composition reference.
​

When you're ready, click Add to Book in the top right corner.

Every user on the Adobe Express for Education plan is given 250 generative credits per month. Each credit allows the user to create one image. You can see how many credits you have left by clicking on your profile icon in the top right.

If this shows your monthly allowance as 10 rather than 250, this will mean you're using a personal Adobe Express account rather than an Education account.

Once an image has been added to a book, you can use Book Creator's edit tools to edit it in the same way you can for other images. Click on the image, then the pencil icon in the top right corner to add pen drawings to your image or erase parts.

If you want to generate a new image using the same prompt, you can do this by opening the app again and typing your prompt. This will add a new image on top of the original, and you can decide which you would like to keep.
​
Using the same prompt will generate different images each time, so if you delete an image after adding it to your Book Creator page, it won't be possible to get it back again or to generate an identical image.
