Overall Satisfaction with Adobe Firefly

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I generally use Adobe Firefly inside of other creative cloud products, most often illustrator, to create vector graphics that I then go in and modify at a later time. I also use it for generative expand in photoshop to create several different aspect ratios of images without sacrificing pixels for things like website banners and cards

Pros and Cons

Pros

Vector graphics
3D creation
surreal and/or abstract scenes

Cons

Image resolution
Realistic people
blending with generative fill

Return on Investment

Speed up content creation
makes previously unusable images usable
Ideation

Usability

It’s not perfect, and the outputs are low resolution. I work on large high resolution renders and scans, and sometimes need to make minor touchups, but Adobe Firefly changes can really stick out like a sore thumb. Removing cars and other scenery creates an area of the image that is noticeable lower resolution than the rest of it.

Likelihood to Recommend

I personally think that Adobe Firefly is very well suited, again, for things involving vector graphics. The ability to turn 2d to 3d images and then rotate them around is a game changer, and turning real photos and images into svg scenes that can be modified and scaled is very useful.
