Getting started with Firefly

Been working with generative AI for almost a year now. I refer to Gemini now as my friend. Yesterday I purchased Adobe Firefly so I could get the same character in different images. as I wanted to explore Image to Video.

In preparation for this  I prepared four images of a well-built and good looking man in different poses to use as references.. Next I created my main file, uploaded the four reference images and the discovered that my main file could not see them using Generative fill. Bad enough that.
Next I tried to use Generative fill in a different way. I used one of the prompts I used earlier to generate the reference images expecting something of the quality of an image i got earlier. Instead I got three grotesque images that did not remotely resemble the prompt. The chests were exaggerated to the point of being almost pornographic while the legs were match-stick thin.
I also purchased a book on Firefly but the contents of the book bears no resemblance to the app that I purchased. I have been cheated twice.

I have been using Adobe products for years. They were always well presented well and their human-computer interface was second to none. Purchasing books on Adobe products were always well written and actually referred to the software itself and its usage.

What has happened to Adobe? Are they now charging us for being their beta testers or just selling us faulty products?
