Critical Feedback on Firefly's Usability and Professional Reliability

The interface requires significant improvements. Currently, there is a lack of transparency regarding the number of credits used, and no functionality allows users to define how they want to allocate credits for each generation. This absence of control is a major issue. Additionally, the interface is confusing when it comes to demonstrating the expected results based on user-configured parameters, making predictability and usability challenging.

Another critical point is the lack of consistency in the tools maintaining standards. Sometimes they work one way, and other times, entirely differently. This inconsistency renders the tool unsuitable for professional use and undermines trust in its reliability. Without consistent results, it’s impossible to depend on the tool for professional applications.

In its current state, the experience of every attempt produces unpredictable results. Imagine if Photoshop behaved similarly, delivering different outcomes every time the same feature was used. No one would trust or use such a tool professionally. Unfortunately, this is the impression Firefly is creating.

On credit transparency: the exact credit cost of a generation is shown just left of the Generate button before you run it, so you can check it while testing prompt variations — and we hear the distinct ask for more control over how credits are allocated per generation, which we've flagged to the team. For more predictable results, reference images and the Markup feature (targeted, region-specific prompts) are the strongest levers to hold output consistent run-to-run. 

Thanks for laying this out so precisely — the professional-reliability bar you're holding us to is the right one, and your points on interface transparency and predictability are with the product team.

Hey @Marcio.K 
In the top right corner on your desk top your icon is present. Press on the button and you can see how many credits you are using.


I suggest using SLOW MODE. 

You use less credits. For every "UPSCALE" you use a credit or more. If you select a specific image then you use an additional credit. If you "UPSCALE" all 4 then you use 4 additional credits.
