Overall Satisfaction with Adobe Firefly

I use Adobe Firefly for image generation and ideation. If I'm working on some social media assets or small flyers, it can help generate infographics or accent elements fast! It can also help the creative process get started if I'm in a bit of a slump or suffering from the blank page syndrome. I might not ultimately stick with what it comes up with, but it helps set me on a path forward, which can be invaluable.

Pros

  • AI image generation
  • History of past generations
  • Reference image incorporation
  • Visual style incorporation

Cons

  • Uses a credit system for some functionality - I'd rather have it be one flat fee
  • Quickly generating graphics, saves time
  • Fills in gaps in our internal image library and is cheaper/more versatile than a stock subscription - saving money
  • Expands the access an individual, especially one without an art background, has to create images on their own - which better connects with our audiences on social media
It has a very intuitive interface, that helps to parse out your prompt. I think there's a real depth there, too, for more experienced users to dig deep. There's a really strong UI built in, more so than other systems I've seen. Definitely one of the most user-friendly options out there.
I think they stack up well against the other options, and I like that you know the images it generates are safe to use commercially - something that is a big concern for me and my team! I also like it's natural integration with other Adobe Creative Suite products, since that's primarily what my team uses.

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?

Yes

Did implementation of Adobe Firefly go as expected?

I wasn't involved with the implementation phase

Would you buy Adobe Firefly again?

Yes

I think like most AI systems, it has a real place amongst graphic designers going forward. It's graphic creation tools are very powerful. However, it falls a little shy in it's understanding of prompts compared to some competitor products like Chat GPT's DallE and similar, more all-in-one tools - perhaps based on a better understanding of language and prompts.
