My generative ai credits are being consumed when I am only opening an image in photoshop and manually adjusting levels and brightness.

Question

My genereative ai credits are disappearing without me using any ai. I opened a jpg in photoshop, went to the adjustments panel and manually used the sliders to adjust the levels. When I opened Photoshop I had 34/1000 credits left. When I saved out my jpg after adjusting the levels I had 33/1000 credits. I did not use any form of the generative ai.

Additionally when I do use the generative ai to extend one photo it uses far more than one credit. This morning I started with 60/1000 credits. I opened the jpg I wanted to extend. I used my crop tool to extend all sides to where I wanted them and hit generate to fill in. I flattened my image, saved and closed, my credits went all the way down to 34/1000.

It’s also difficult for us to understand exactly what is going on because Photoshop uses Generative Credits differently according to the plan you are on. For instance, do you know if you get unlimited Firefly credits?

What do you see if you open the Credits panel?

When you ‘Extended’ your photo, did you do this with the crop tool, and if yes, what was the Crop tool set to in the Options bar?

I don’t think I get charged any credits for this function because I have a full CC subscription. I have a feeling that you do. If that’s the case then Content Aware Fill would be free for you, but Generative Expand would use credits.
