Generative Credits System
Users on the full Creative Cloud Suite plan receive 1,000 generative credits per month, while single-app plans (like Photoshop only) typically receive 500 credits.
Quality vs. Other Models
Firefly 3 shows a drastic improvement in 'hyper-realism'. Subjectively, its quality is considered better than DALL-E 3 but still slightly behind Midjourney V6 for certain art styles.
Tips for Enhancing Detail
After generating an image on the Firefly web app, use the available 'Upscaler' feature to improve texture quality and enhance details before downloading the final result.

Step by Step
Generating Realistic Images with Adobe Firefly 3 (Web)
- Visit the official Adobe Firefly website (firefly.adobe.com) and sign in to your Adobe account.
- Select the 'Text to Image' feature from the main dashboard.
- On the 'Settings' panel to the right, ensure 'Model Version' is set to 'Firefly Image 3 (Preview)'.
- Change 'Content Type' to 'Photo' for more realistic results compared to 'Art'.
- Type a detailed prompt in the text box at the bottom (e.g., 'neon colored butterfly').
- Click the 'Generate' button to produce four image variations.
- If you're not satisfied with the results, click 'Generate' again or adjust the 'Style' options in the side panel to add 'Hyperrealism' or 'Fantasy' effects.
Using the Structure (Reference Image) Feature in Firefly
- Within the 'Text to Image' interface, find the 'Structure' section on the left panel.
- Click the 'Upload Image' button under the 'Structure' category.
- Select a reference image from your computer (e.g., a picture of a backpack) that has a shape you want to replicate.
- Enter a new prompt describing the look of the object (e.g., 'a backpack made of water and ice').
- Click 'Generate'. The AI will map the structure/shape from the reference image onto the new subject specified in your prompt.
- Use the 'Strength' slider to control how closely the AI should follow the reference image's structure.
Generative Expand Workflow in Photoshop Beta
- Open the Photoshop Beta app on your computer.
- Open or import the image you want to expand.
- Select the 'Crop Tool' from the toolbar on the left.
- Drag the image borders outward to create empty space on the canvas.
- Click the 'Generative Expand' button that appears in the 'Contextual Task Bar' below the image.
- Leave the prompt box empty if you want the AI to automatically extend the background, or enter a specific prompt to add new elements.
- Click 'Generate' and choose your favorite variation from the 'Properties' panel.
