I am finding the limitation of the characters very difficult to get to the Image I desire. In fact it's Miles away.

Yes, there is a good reason; it should be good for certain tasks.

One issue is it will add a character or person when not prompted to and then says it violates the whatever to remove it!

You know what doesn’t have a character limit?

Doing it yourself.

Yes ,I mean I don’t even use stock photos ,I keep folders of people,many are characters I’ve made over the years from mime photos , street performers ect ..I also shoot Barbie’s and plastic animals and use PS to manipulate the photos to create my own crew that I can insert as needed .i have body part folders one just for eyes ,I get lazy and use the eyes they offer yet most times a face is not recognized and that’s good bc I go into my own stock and have creative control these details matter ,even pupil reflection in the eye I’ll use a flame photo from. My own fire file ..All this crap is designed for kids it’s like color forms when I was a kid only very expensive color forms .when your supposed to be an artist .maybe that’s the trouble,somehow have a more tool oriented setup for ppl like me who want to combine my own photos, then have wacky subset for ppl who just want to do clip art with ai ..it’s fun I tried some features last night that were very interesting and cool but I was straight up playing ,then I was designing a tattoo based off the standard Scottie silhouette that I photographed then I used just Lightroom and express to cut paste blend merge as usual ,when did Adobe decide to “add credentials ?” When I used “blend “ or played with color palettes ? I mean when I photograph my own painting as I often do ,I’m extremely mixed media ,so i should have liqui Tex in the meta data ? How about the paint brush company and I used Folgers coffee grounds ! Even if I used my own blood as I have somehow using an Adobe app the metadata is planting trails of CREATED BY ADOBE …no your the tool ..even if I screenshot a gangster from an old photo on line then chop that up ,I never used ai ..firefly is not even a thought when I’m not playing .. Apple calls their crap playground.thats perfect name its fun but beyond small enhancements to extend the field or fill a patch ,then I have no issue using those tools to generate but when I use clone … that’s not remotely ai .. firefly could never handle a small task like that nor would I want it too ,clone works fine .ill go off and use clone to create crazy surreal images…bc I use anything to create art ,garbage collections ,cheap home decor ect ten mediums are used when I’m into something then I run through photoshop years later and can create something new from the old ..I’m still using my workflow from 2017 ..basically.so give us a push button to shutdown any image generator and stop tagging my metadata..bc at the end of the day photoshop is equivalent to my sawzall ..and I don’t stamp MILWAUKEE ON SOMETHING I MADE WITH THAT TOOL.then I photograph something I sculpted then use that as character,I make a lot of story board type art ,like comics ..one day I used only fire fly nothing else to tell a wild story … the images were demented,dark ,sometimes evil most times ..it was fun but as I showed ppl they suggested I run with it bc it’s a creepy claymation almost ,KIDS WATCHING TV WITH SUPRISE ON THEIR FACES ..I got this evil clown man in the middle of kids that would terrify you …my art can be dark but man firefly is more twisted than me .at one point I was even flagged for breaking some community rules while I was asking for wholesome prompts so sick crap appears and I save cut paste transform the image but never did I do anything to be accused of whatever it was something to do with children though.. so I have a strike somewhere out there insinuating the worst kind of human ever while all I did was make a twisted comic using prompts like ,boy with rubbery hair and big smile next to 1930 ford pickup truck..it’s not on me that the images are beyond sick …and I used them indeed for the creepiest thing I ever created and that’s saying a lot …100% fire fly generation to tell my story ..frame by frame it got darker..want to see the child Trump it generated when I asked for boy with suprise and rubbery hair ? The kid is blonde has Trump like features and his right ear was red and swollen ! His left fine .. anyone I show it to agrees that was some strange attempt to create a child trump with damaged ear ..that Adobe can put all kinds of metadata on bc it was a picture book totally prompted,I added some wings from my own stock at one point bc I couldn’t prompt what i needed but still that’s cool bc the images Adobe generated were scary ,ethically questionable (and I leave a lot of room in my own  community rules ) like I’d never let my 8 year old use fire fly after that pic book but it’s a toy and it sucks if it’s supposed to actually help ..learn how to use ps express and use your own images all the time and you will find you are more creative than u knew it’s wonderful.. but ai and its rules and the way companies want to tag everything when u use the tools u RENTED … you don’t even own your Photoshop. It’s literally a rented tool. They have absolutely no right to put anything in Meta. That’s correct you to them. I must say I feel like I’m constantly looking for a replacement now I’m procreate is getting pretty close without the hassle and the prices

The only problem I have with this is that Firefly restricts too much based on the prompt. When I try to make a scene of a school bullying for example I have to dance around with the prompt because it just won’t create due to restrictions of agression and minors. It would be nice to have those restrictions on the generative side, restrict the outcome not the prompt.

In my opinion AI is garbage and for a professional “artisan” or creative worker completely unacceptable. The value in creative work coms from the human skill and intellect.

I was unable to make a simple animation of 2 batteries click-on to the power tool main body. I showed Firefly before and after and it failed every single time to make the transition. I photoshopped the batteries outside the tool and showed the nesting where they are supposed to be put, then in the next image showed the power tool with the batteries already clicked. Firefly did 20 different wrong ways to showcase the animation of the batteries sliding in. It was amazing all the wrong ways possible to make this basic animation. I used different prompt each time, some of them basic consisting only of the main move I wanted to see, others being ultra specific with the smallest details explained. All results were unusable. I think a more close follow of the prompts and less hallucination would be really nice.

Firefly needs a lot more functions and possibilities, less haluzination and better quality! I use the custom models almost every day for food images. But nevertheless, its amazing what you can do with this tool when you know how to use it.

I’m glad the votes were transferred. I support this idea and hope Adobe will consider increasing the character limit for image descriptions.
