Overall Satisfaction with Adobe Firefly

I use it as a part of Photoshop, which has generative features based on Firefly. I teach Photoshop in my classroom in Visual Design Fundamentals course. Firefly is applied in an educational environment to prepare future creatives to feel adept in the world of advancing use of AI. We offer the course twice a year, so about 50 to 60 students use Firefly per year.

Pros

  • It does a great job creating backgrounds for Photoshop images.
  • It responds well to tweaking descriptions in the textual prompt.
  • It is very easy to use.

Cons

  • It takes time to learn how to communicate precisely through prompts.
  • It could have a better rendition in terms of visual styles.
  • It could have a feature where the visual style of the image into which it pastes AI content is replicated in this content.
  • It is hard for me to say as I use it in an educational environment.
  • It will have an ROI for the companies my students work at.
  • It removes the need for spending resources on mundane designing tasks.
Sometimes, when I want AI to create something very specific, it is very hard to communicate that. It is much better at visualising content that has no specific use and can be applied more generally. I would love to have some workshops within Photoshop on how to write efficient textual prompts.
I tried to find Dall-e in the list as it is more closely related to Adobe Firefly. The closest to Dall-e that I used is ChatGPT. It is definitely not the same as it is uses language not image. I actually enjoy the fact that Firefly is not trying to pretend it is a human and just stays an impersonal tool.

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?

Yes

Would you buy Adobe Firefly again?

Yes

The best ways I have been using were in creating background for commercial design images. Especially, if these backgrounds are abstract. The lack of concrete content in the images helps with matching the background AI creates perfectly. I also use it if I am missing some content in my image and instead of finding images online, I ask Firefly to create them.
