Firefly way behind other Imaging AI

@Richard27553443t3b3 have you tried the third party models available via Firefly? 

Hi @Richard27553443t3b3,

Thanks so much for sharing this so clearly and honestly, and for sticking with Photoshop and Lightroom for so many years. It’s very understandable to feel let down when a tool from a brand you trust doesn’t come close to what you’re already seeing from other AI models.

From what you’ve described, the most frustrating part is not the lack of features, but the fact that Firefly often doesn’t do what you actually ask it to do, especially compared with other AI tools that follow detailed instructions more reliably. You’re absolutely right that when prompts are ignored or only loosely followed, the whole experience stops being useful and starts feeling like a waste of time.

It also becomes clear that you still like Adobe and expected better, which makes this feel more like a broken promise than just a “buggy feature.” Feedback like yours is important because it’s coming from someone who knows Adobe tools well and has a clear sense of what “good” looks like. While this doesn’t fix your experience today, this kind of specific, grounded criticism is exactly what the Firefly and Photoshop teams need to see to prioritize better instruction-following and more consistent results going forward.

We appreciate your patience.
