Midjourney was the first text to AI program I had experience with, and I've used it successfully for nearly three years. But with the availability of Adobe Firefly and its partner models, it became unnecessary to assume the additional expense. I do occasionally use AI …
The best thing about Adobe Firefly is that it is commercially safe. As an artist, knowing the artists whose work been used to train the AI is compensated, is really good. I also know that I’m not misusing other peoples art when I use Adobe Firefly. When using other AIs it’s …
Both are excellent at image creation and both have put great effort into developing their usability. I personally feel that Adobe Firefly had a more considered approach to launching by looking into the ethical side of what it was trained upon where there is a lot of criticism …
For image editing/creation, Adobe Firefly is a close second to Google Gemini. We use Gemini 2.5/3 Pro exclusively via the Firefly services and Adobe programs. As for analytics, we use other services for conversational AI assistants.
Because Adobe Firefly is a more ethical solution by using Adobe Stock assets, I believe it is better than other services. The quality of the images created in Adobe Firefly are also very high quality.
In general I think they are comparable in some ways. I think the image generation is still a bit more sophisticated for dall-e but the gap continues to be closed. Photorealism seems to be the one area I notice the biggest gap but in my line of work it’s not that big of a …
Adobe Firefly couples well with the other Adobe Apps we use for our organisation, so the overall subscription includes other products we can leverage. We find that FireFly produces the same, if not better results that it's AI competitors such as ChatGPT and Google Gemini.

Chose Adobe Firefly
Adobe creates more detailed videos and images, but doesn't understand prompts as well as competitors.
I think the access is a game changer. Especially with working at a larger organization and managing multiple creatives it’s easy to have one place to do it all. Also working together like you can with Adobe Firefly boards is pretty cool and seamless for ideation and production. …
While ChatGPT produces images the visual interface of boards and seeing the progress your query is more engaging. This also allows to see where your query might have gone wrong and move back up the chain to start a different path
While Adobe does and should establish policies with regard to censorship of certain types of images and words used in prompts, the restrictions do at times seem arbitrary and random, with little feedback in such cases as to what issues in particular are causing problems. For example, if using a reference image of a child to produce a video is forbidden, it would seem simple enough from an AI point of view to explain the limitation to the user.
In Adobe Premiere Pro, Adobe Firefly does a great job with the Remix Tool which expands the length of an audio music track while matching notes and adding more beats to its length. The transitions are seamless, and after the generation is completed it is difficult to distinguish the new beats apart from the original composition.
In the Adobe Firefly, I use the standalone app to create graphic variations and visual concepts for quick mockups to streamline design ideas. This process helps me to speed up the creative process and to work more efficiently. It also presents me with additional creative ideas to incorporate in future ideations.
In Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Firefly is wonderful with the 'Generative Fill' which uses prompts to enhance an original image by adding complimentary content, replacing content, or even removing the background or content from an image altogether. The result is extremely realistic and amazing.
Because while Adobe Firefly is a good tool (and comes integrated to a certain extent with your Adobe CC subscription) there is still a long way to go before it can have the support to be able to use it outside of the same program subscription.
Easy to use on the web application, and its integration into Photoshop is super easy to utilize for my projects. I always get what I am looking for out of Firefly, and it's become an amazing tool to save me time on a heavy workload task.
As I have noted in previous answers, the integration of Adobe Firefly is already done for you. It is part of the Adobe Suite and works seamlessly with all other Adobe products. If you don't happen to use Adobe products, it works just like any other AI image creation tool in that you can save and download your creations to edit in whatever software tools you prefer.
Midjourney was not in this list but that is the most similar to Firefly in my opinion. I find that Adobe Firefly and Midjourney have a lot of overlap. The generative fill options on Photoshop and Illustrator also include very similar use cases with generating photography and extending areas of a photo to imagine outside of the crop.
Firefly has saved us many hours by being able to generate images that were otherwise hard to find, or images that we'd need to request licenses to use. Those time saving equate to money savings as team members can move on to other paid tasks more quickly.
When using the generative fill feature, being able to extend the aspect ratio of images we already have in our library has saved us both time and money.
Using Firefly has been a useful part of our strategy to introduce Generative AI to our clients, which helps us stay on the front foot with new developments.
