P: Cannot upload reference image [merged thread]

I’m currently unable to upload photos to Firefly for editing, despite the service working for only about a week and a half. Considering the cost, this disruption is unacceptable. Please address this issue promptly or provide a full refund.

Hi,

 

can you maybe give us a screenshot? Often it is the case that the uploaded reference Image is not of the format that is necessary or that some words or phrases within the prompt does not work. maybe also try it later with slightly different prompt and/or Reference Image. 

 

 
regards,Henrik

I'm having the same issue, there are some files I am able to upload. The attached images are the original image generated by ChatGPT, which I can upload, and 3 versions (PNG-8, PNG-24, JPG) of the same file saved for web in Photoshop, which Firefly refuses to upload.
I hope that this will help replicate the issue.

I cannot upload a reference image either.

- All the models I tried: Firefly 5, 4 and 3; Flux 1; Context Max; GPT Image.

- Firefox 145.0
- Add blockers disabled, shield icon in address bar deactivated.

- I choose 'Upload picture' and 'Your device'. The file window opens and I can select the file (.jpg), but when I click OK, nothing happens.

Is it a coincidence that this issue arises on the one month you gave 'free generations?' Will this issue magically resolve itself on Dec. 1, as soon as the exclusive offer is over? I don't image you'll be doing another month of free generations to make up for all of the people who conviently can't use the service while this exclusive offer is ongoing?

Some of the thumbnails for my past renders in Generation History are not displaying.
There seems to be a block of renders just not displaying form 9 to 10 days ago.
This started happening about the same time last week that I started having issues with not being able to add a new Reference Image.
Adobe Firefly using Nano Banana
MacOS 10.12.6
Firefox
To reproduce the problem I just scroll back to the renders in question.
More recent and older thumbnails do display.
If I select one of the blank thumbnails it does still open the image.
