Overall Satisfaction with Adobe Firefly

We ask our creative directors and designers to think of very conceptual imagery or things that are captivating but rarely seen together. In recent years, it’s been hours of scouring the internet for the right image and then Photoshopping to create the kinds of graphics that we want to display in our presentations, so we were hopeful that AI image generation could bridge that gap and give us a quick and easy way to create the images we need. Unfortunately, the images produced by Adobe Firefly weren’t realistic enough for us to use them right away. There were glitches in the images that gave away it was AI and shattered the illusion we were aiming to build.

Pros

  • Provides a lot of different styles to select from.
  • Easy tools to upload reference photos or styles.
  • Settings to customize the generated image without having to re-prompt the AI.

Cons

  • Some glitches gave away it was AI-generated and not a real photo.
  • People’s hands were messed up, faces lacked detail they needed.
  • I could control the styles through the settings, but I got lackluster results when I included too many specifics in the prompt.
  • Able to generate images quickly instead of searching for the right photo.
Firefly is a very user-friendly, if not the easiest, text-to-image generation AI tool I’ve used to date. It’s easy to adjust settings and generate variations without learning manual prompts like with Midjourney. This is great for businesses that need images, are short on time, and don’t have dedicated designers to create what they need.

Do you think Adobe Firefly delivers good value for the price?

Not sure

Are you happy with Adobe Firefly's feature set?

Yes

Did Adobe Firefly live up to sales and marketing promises?

I wasn't involved with the selection/purchase process

Did implementation of Adobe Firefly go as expected?

I wasn't involved with the implementation phase

Would you buy Adobe Firefly again?

Yes

If you need an image that has crazy or imaginary elements in the image (I.e., characters that don’t exist in reality), this is a great tool to quickly create an image. Also, if you need a thumbnail for something small that won’t be featured with a lot of detail, this could be a quick fix. If you need something with hyperrealism, I would use Midjourney instead.
