Best forAdobe workflows
THE SIMPLE VERSION
What is Adobe Firefly?
Adobe Firefly combines text-to-image generation with tools such as Generative Fill, vector creation, mood boards, video, audio and partner models. Its biggest advantage is the route from a generated idea into editable work in products such as Photoshop, Illustrator and Adobe Express.
✓ A good fit if you want to…
- Already use Adobe creative products
- Need to generate and then edit a business visual
- Want image, vector, video and audio tools in one workspace
– Choose another tool if you…
- Only want the most artistic first image
- Need many free premium generations
- Want a simple chat assistant rather than a creative workspace
