Data Transfer Guide
Flux AI doesn't have built-in export functionality since it's open-source software typically run locally or via API. To preserve your assets: 1) Export all generated images from your storage system, organizing them by project with metadata files containing original prompts and parameters. 2) Document custom model configurations and training data. 3) Export prompt libraries and workflow scripts. For importing to Adobe Firefly: Upload important reference images to Creative Cloud assets. Recreate key images using adapted prompts in Firefly, saving them to organized libraries. Use Firefly's reference image features where exact visual matching is needed. Note that direct model transfer isn't possible due to architectural differences.
