Please bring back Firefly Image 2

Please bring back Firefly Image 2. The new model is unbelievably disappointing and feels like a downgrade rather than an improvement. As someone who creates backgrounds regularly, I can confidently say the current model completely ignores artistic intent. Even when I clearly specify in the prompt that I need a soft, blurred, low-detail background with motifs that blend seamlessly into the canvas—and even after selecting options like “pastel,” “fade,” and other softening settings—the results are still overly sharp, detailed, and noisy.

This makes the outputs unusable as backgrounds. A background should support the design, not overpower it, but the new model constantly generates harsh edges, unnecessary texture, and high-frequency detail that I never asked for.

Firefly Image 2 handled these tasks beautifully. It understood softness, diffusion, atmospheric blending, and aesthetic subtlety. It produced clean, gentle artwork that designers like me could use immediately with minimal editing. The new model behaves as if it’s optimized only for hyper-detailed illustration, ignoring prompts about blur, haze, fade, or pastel entirely.

Please fix this issue—or, at the very least, allow users to continue accessing Firefly Image 2. Removing a model that worked exceptionally well and replacing it with one that struggles with basic artistic direction is a huge step backward for creative professionals.
