Firefly, Adobe's family of generative AI models, doesn't have the best reputation among creatives. The model, now available in Photoshop (beta) and Adobe's Firefly web app, produces more "realistic" imagery than its predecessors (Image 1 and Image 2), thanks to an ability to understand longer, more complex prompts and scenes as well as improved lighting and text-generation capabilities. It should more accurately render things like typography, iconography, raster images and line art, says Adobe, and is "significantly" more adept at depicting dense crowds and people with "detailed features" and "a variety of moods and expressions."
