    I use Firefly interchangeably with all products in the Adobe suite. Firefly is my go-to for quick, on-the-go editing and generative AI, while I use some of the built-in AI features in the other Adobe products for larger projects.

    Firefly has way more functionality than Miro, but most of the time I don't use that extra functionality. Adobe is included in our subscription and I can make as many boards as I want (I think). Not the case with Miro, my org doesn't have access to the paid version.

    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 …

    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.

    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.

    Pros
    Adobe
    • 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.

    Cons
    Adobe
    • Prompting is an art and takes some time to improve
    • The reality of the images can be hit or miss, such as details like hands or too many legs
    • I would like to see an easier way to upload a reference image and see outputs similar to what I uploaded.

    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.

    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.

    Return on Investment
    Adobe
    • 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.
