Tried to make a word in colorful teddy plush but it says me it is against the guidelines. 

So I tried to say fur instead. That worked but didn't give me the result I wanted.

Here's an idea...

If a word -or words- in a video prompt violate Adobe's user guidelines, how about telling the user that BEFORE the video is created rather than just create the video without the words and then charge the user credits for a video that doesn't represent what they wanted since a key word in the prompt was removed.  

I mean c'mon,Adobe strips out that word out BEFORE a user has a chance to correct their "mistake" -and it would be a mistake as there is NO way for a user to know what Adobe is going to say violates their user guidelines- then it means the user is being punished since they are loosing credits and not getting the they wanted. Now, how fair is that?

How hard would it be for Adobe to let a Firefly user know that a word -or words- in their prompt violated Adobe's user policy BEFORE Adobe creates a video that doesn't represent what a user wanted -since perhpas important prompt words were removed. I mean Open AI does it with Sora so why can't Adobe do the same in Firefly? Is Adobe not as technically advanced as Open AI?

C'mon Adobe, you're better than this.

You are ADOBE. You cater to high end artists of all types with the leading vector and raster image software on the market. I just asked Firefly to generate a vector image that can be further manipulated with Adobe Illustrator, LITERALLY ASKING YOUR AI TO MAKE YOUR OTHER PRODUCTS MORE IN DEMAND, and Firefly cant generate it. 

I tried the same prompt with ChatGPT and it generated an image. More importantly, it generated an image for adults, not a children's comic book.

Hi @danielle_2108 ,

 

Hi,

 

I tried "people with curly hair" and "people with wavy hair" and got successful gens.

 

Could you share your full prompt?

If you are getting an error, I do not believe it is from "curly hair" or "wavy hair". Please show us your full prompt that is generating an error.

What about curly hair?? I've tried "curls" "curly" "wavy" "wavy hair" "curly hair"..all tells me the same thing - that it's against community guidelines

I often have no idea why a prompt is not executed and can be marked for evaluation. Even after editing the prompt, it continues to be marked. I am completely in the dark about what I am doing wrong and have no idea that I am breaking the rules. So mark or highlight the word(s) or part of the sentence that are involved.

NIX:  I hear ya, and I feel the same.  Firefly is garbage, the way they censor/flag so many prompts...to the point of uselessness.  Adobe clearly isn't embracing the AI tech as they should...which will hurt them in the present and future.  
They'll get left back eventually.  I guess I should be fine with that, as much as Adobe has pissed me off with other things in the past, such as their subscription models and lack of addressing many bugs.  Maybe I should instead be celebrating their inevitable demise.

"may be considered too strict for some users" lol, this waste of AI potential flages EVERYTHING; nine out of ten prompts are rejected, no matter how harmless and polite, any prompts longer than few words is rejected, i have to rephrase it and rephrase it and rephrase it like ten times before it miraculously does not flag it altho there is not a single inappropriate letter in it. It is completely and uterlly useles, what a waste, i would never pay for this service like it is, i would not use it even if it was totally free, it is that useless.

Tell users what word was "removed". This prompt shouldn't have anything that's trademarked, copyrighted, etc

"I want an image that appears to be 2 photographs side by side, of an in ear measuring thermometer. The left should read 99. 4 and the right should read 100.7. The meme styled text is "When your low grade fever graduates ". Both left and right sides of the image should be essentially the same with the main difference being the temperature"

Hey @Anphonic 

You may find generating the images seperately could work. once you have your images. Use Adobe Express. In Adobe Express you can place images side by side. 

A quick tip keep your prompts specific and short.

In terms of getting a specific number and thermometer, create an image (a drawing for example). Make sure the image is large enough for FF to read. consider using bold numbers in the thermometer reading. 

Cheers
