Overall Satisfaction with Adobe Firefly

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We generate images, also use generative extend in Photoshop quite a bit to fit creative outputs that the traditional photo might not be able to fill. Or if we need more copy or blank space. We also use it for ideating and storyboarding motion and other creative outputs for campaigns.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Image concepting
styles
creating images from references

Cons

when a few people are in a scene, it has troubles with the details
some photos look almost "painterly" vs. real-world even when that style is selected
Use image library to train

Return on Investment

reduce photoshoots
reduce costs to stock licensing
create graphics and campaigns at scale quicker

Usability

User interface is pretty intuitive

Alternatives Considered

Google Gemini, ChatGPT and Midjourney

Midjourney's photo capabilities are the best from what i've seen. Chat and Gemini are close behind.

Likelihood to Recommend

It's a great tool, some of the final outputs can't be used or will need to be taken to Photoshop for additional clean up or using Adobe Firefly within Adobe PhotoShop.

It's sometimes difficult to "clear" it's memory once it already has a style when you keep "regenerating" an image or series of images.
