Adobe FireFly Model 5 Not working like previous version of PS

Question

I am experiencing significant issues with the Adobe Firefly Model 5 in Photoshop version 27.10. Compared to previous versions, the model’s performance has declined considerably. I prefer using the native model over partner models, as the latter often result in lower resolution and image displacement after generation. Additionally, I have noticed that the specific brightness tool I rely on is missing, and the current "Light" tool does not provide the same functionality or results. Could you please advise on how I can restore the previous behavior or locate these missing tools in the current version?

I’ve been enjoying the AI Assistant editor with Nano Banana and the ability to work without cropping on the same layer. However, I’ve noticed that the Firefly Image 5 model doesn’t seem to be performing as well as previous versions when processing the whole image, even when using the prompt in the contextual menu.

I personally find the required contextual menu workflow restrictive, as it interrupts my established editing process. I am now forced to either manually select an area or use the contextual menu, and neither approach feels as intuitive or effective as it was before.

Additionally, I specifically need dedicated Brightness and Contrast controls. The new Light adjustment layer doesn't seem to replicate the specific behavior of the legacy Brightness/Contrast adjustments. Is there a way to restore this functionality? Ideally, I would like to be able to use a command (like Command+A) to prompt for these adjustments directly and i feel like that firefly 5 was as strong as nano banana pro model , but the option currently appears grayed out. Could you please clarify if there is a workaround or if this is a known limitation?
