Overall Satisfaction with Adobe Firefly

As a digital marketing agency, a lot of our clients require seasonal imagery. For instance, an elegant event space. Just yesterday, I have professional images of the interior of the event space, all newly remodeled. The issue becomes that since it is entirely remodeled, there aren't any "old" images for the holidays. Thanks to Firefly, I was able to create Halloween, thanksgiving, and Xmas promotions all with the standard imagery that I had.

Pros

  • Removes background.
  • Changes in lighting and elements in the image.
  • Creates unique artwork from scratch.
  • It's VERY fast.

Cons

  • It's not very good at working outside of the constraints of the program.
  • Human imagery is pretty dodgy.
  • It doesn't handle complex generation of images very well.
  • It's infinitely valuable for speed and timing.
  • It's helped me land clients at $1400/month, doing nothing but image generation and posting for them once a day.
  • It is excellent at getting attention to your services. People (your customers) are likely very interested in at least exploring the possibilities of AI.
I have mentioned it previously, but the app seems to constrain creativity by making you choose a style. That part can be kind of cumbersome to get used to, too. Overall, it works well. If you're a beginner, you're going to love this! If you're seasoned at AI or if you've used something like mid-journey, you're probably not going to be as impressed, but the speed of use is really the tipping point at this stage.
I tried entering it above, but none came up. I've also worked with ChatGPT (paid and free). Poe.com (paid and free) and Midjourney (paid). All of them created better imagery than Firefly. None were as fast or as easy to use. So, depending on the depth of your work, definitely give Firefly a shot.

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

Yes

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

I recommend this to any hobbyist or freelancer looking to get into the AI generation game at a more than reasonable price. The app itself works well and is user-friendly, almost to a fault. As I mentioned earlier, it doesn't handle complex variation very well. It also seems to cache ideas, often requiring a full restart to shake the base idea.
