Overall Satisfaction with Adobe Firefly
As someone who needs to create design within strict and specific brand guideline, working with Adobe Firefly has been a constant challenge as it requires multiple attempts to understand my need. Even when the Adobe Firefly provides the closest outcome, I will have to manually manipulate and clean up the image, which takes longer lead time than working from scratch.
Pros
- It generates large number of options for initial design exploration.
- Exploration in prompting does show differences in understanding.
- When using in illustrator, it creates vector outcome I can manipulate.
Cons
- It cannot pick up the reference resource the way humans can.
- It has limitation in understanding brand guidelines.
- Prompting can be difficult for someone who does not speak English as first language.
- I could see potential in resource reduction as Adobe Firefly can be used to generate initial design exploration.
- If Adobe Firefly can work within template and guidelines, I could see potential in production hours.
- Negative impact would be on the environment - use of energy in data center to improve machine learning should be considered.
I cannot make the comparison as they have completely different use cases.
