Photoshop AI Generative Subscription Credit Uses Chart

Where does Adobe provide the cost breakdown of credit use for the following Photoshop AI generative tools. It's now obvious that the use of these tools are more than one (1) credit per generation as I only have 187 of 2250 credits remaining.   Also, does Adobe provide users with a "count" of generative runs or do I need to continuing relying on old-fashioned pen and paper to track my generative runs/scans.

 

  • Firefly Image 3 - 
  • Firefly Image 1 - 
  • FLUX.2 pro - 
  • FLUX Kontext pro - 
  • Gemini 3 (with Nano Banana Pro) - 
  • Gemini 2.5 (with Nano Bannana) - 

 

I've only been using the tools to "repair and restore" and "create high resolution image from photo" on some very old family photos (mid 1800's to mid 1900's).  Amazing stuff though as these tools are litterally placing a human soul into my old sepia imagery using my "secret contextural sauce" to create some awesome results.

In this one, AI only added the fire into the kiln and barely colourised the rest of the image. But another generative run created a better result and after I performed additional AI editing on one the faces and blended the fire into the better image to get this result.

Also, is there any credit refund for when AI decides to create an image of someone else completly?  I'm using the feedback tool to let Adobe know when it fails and also when it works brilliantly.

 

Cheers!

Brilliant!  Thanks Ged! 

 

So we still pay for failed Ai results?  I had a few times where I specifically said, in part, "do not change the appearance of the woman in the photo" but Ai would sometimes complete change her.  So I have to resort to another Ai (like Flux pro) and say just "colourise the photo".  I noticed Ai seems to work best in baby steps rather than asking it to repair and colour an image at the same time.  But overall, still quite amazing results!

How would this work? Should Adobe just trust your honesty, or should they employ a large group of people to review every 'failed' result? In either case, the cost per generation will increase.
