    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.

    The quality of output is more consistent with Adobe Firefly and the general direction of the tool is showing a focus on expanding the capabilities with audio and vectors. This gives it an edge over the other visual generators

    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.

    Adobe Firefly is as easy, if not easier to use versus its competitors in the creative space. However, because it is so easy, it lacks the ability to tweak its settings to the degree a creative would expect. The biggest benefits is its integration into Adobe PhotoShop and it's …

    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.

    Gemini is well suited to help track issues and change requests, projects, bugs, time logs, etc. It is less appropriate for reporting needs or general office management needs.

    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.

    • Gemini offers flexible framework that allowed IT to build a workflow based process. IT change requests were divided into several buckets: New Change Requests group for business units to submit requests for enhancements and new project ideas, Pending Change Requests for approved projects that are waiting for IT resources, Application Development where we track active projects, Defect Tracking where bugs are tracked during testing and finally Release Management where requests for deployment are tracked.
    • Gemini allows to create custom fields and add them to View, Edit and Add screens. This flexible model allowed us to track additional information on the project such as IT Point of Contact, System Name, Team Name, Testing dates, etc.
    • Gemini has flexible email notification model that allows to keep business customers informed on the project progress. Whenever comment is added by project manager email alerts goes out anyone that is set to watch project progress.

    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.

    • It would be useful for Gemini to offer a mobile-friendly version.
    • It would be helpful for Gemini to provide more granular control over email notification options. Currently, we cannot turn off update type emails
    • Gemini could improve homepage design to provide a dashboard for all projects in the system.

    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.
