Firefly Preview Enlargement Hinders User Navigation and Access to Features

[Aprilm30]

The preview size of the Firefly-generated images has unexpectedly increased to the extent that all four suggestions cannot be viewed simultaneously. Consequently, users are now required to scroll through the suggestions, leading to difficulties when attempting to scroll back, as it obstructs access to other features such as generative fill style options.

the images are supersized on the screen since the recent update.

the firefly preview of generated images have suddenly become so large that the 4 suggestions cannot be viewed as a whole. instead one now has to scroll through them. this then causes problems when scrolling back as it prevents access to the generative fill style options etc.

This new layout is HORRIBLE.. the images are so HUGE they take up the entire screen.  I can't even open the effects and there are no scroll bars inside effects to get to all the settings.   How do we get rid of this and return to the old layout!

The more I try to use this, the harder it gets.

The left-most image gets hidden behind the tool bar; scrolling across to images is difficult and often completely hides the toolbar, making it very difficult to make changes.   It feels like the project manager ignored all of QA's warnings and just pushed an update for the one year anniversary.

If you can't revert to the old layout, there are other tools out there less frustrating to use.

example screen shot of the 4 image preview demonstrating their colassal size making it difficult to naviagte around and make judgements across the 4 images. Is it possible to have a menu that permits users to choose how the preview images are tiled?

Just logged on to generate some images, and noticed the new web UI for firefly. I really dislike it, I would really like it if there was some kind scroll option to go back and forth from the first and last generated image. Once I click on the 4th image generated you have to click back through the others to get to the other options. I don't really like the left side menu either. Is it just me or are other people having issues as well. Usually i'm on board with the changes adobe makes, but in this case it makes it harder then I think it needs to be.

When moving to view large pics (moving to the right) The ledft side of the app moves left OFF of trhe screen. Using the thumbnails doesn't work properly (?) also. 

Yestarday I was using the app where it had all 4 options set up as 2 over 2 rathewr than 4 straight to the right.

I am using a MACstudio, new as of June 2023. Safari 17.2.1 (19617.1.17.11.12).

MacOS (Sonoma); Firefox. Same issues as described.

I appreciate trying to make larger previews, but this is broken functionality.  Prod managers really should listen to QA.

Thank you for providing your feedback on the recent UI changes. We've forwarded your comments to our product team for review, and they will look into it. 

Note:- The new Firefly web app interface has all controls moved to the left side of the application to make image generation and editing intuitive and easy. We have also updated the UI to make images larger and more accessible.

I can't adapt to the new Firefly UI.
I often use the Firefly 1 version, why did you remove it?
The settings are not on the right, but on the left, and I can't see all 4 pictures on one screen, so it's really inconvenient. T...T

Moving panels/menus to left side without providing the option to put them back on the right (like you can do in literally every Adobe app) is annoying.

SCREENSHOT 1 - Screen view once images are generated... everything moves to the left 100+ pixels. The previous grid displayed ALL 4 images AT THE SAME TIME which is a lot more useful than seeing one oversized image at a time (and no, the rather tiny thumbnails aren't a good substitute).

SCREENSHOT 2 - Clicking on image 2 moves everything further left - panels/menu's no longer visible

SCREENSHOT 3 - this happens when I click on image 3

SCREENSHOT 4 - this happens when I click on image 4

In most Adobe apps, the ability to revert to previous functionality is often available so that subscribers aren't forced to use changes that don't improve functionality or efficiency. You should seriously consider adding that option here.

Changing the layout just to change something is usually a bad idea. When those changes break functionality, it's an even worse idea (kind of like not testing on major browsers/OS before release). I don't mind change when it improves things (even if I have to get used to an unnecessary new layout). I do mind changes that break functionality vs. enhance it.

@Kartika Rawat you may be missing the issue at hand and marked this correct too soon. Read the posts below - the UI is completly broke when attempting to view the addtional generations. The entire UI slides with the images as if anchored and you can't navigate back to the tools on the left.

YES! I'm having the same problem as the rest in this thread and I hate it!! PUT IT BACK, ADOBE! 🤣😭

[shanti3]

App window is HUGE. I can't see the whole thing. My monitor is high def, and large but it covers the whole screen and cuts off some of the images.

[Kevin Stohlmeyer]

I have found a workaround - if you resize your browser window to a "mobile" aspect ratio - the UI changes to mobile and does not break.

 

[LoriPhillips]

This is not "correctly answered". 😭  The larger images f*#ked everything up. Even if you could properly scroll through them (you can't) , not being able to just see them all at once is a massive pain. 

[LoriPhillips]

Kind of helps for the moment, thanks. I still have to switch back and forth from full screen smaller view to make changes though. Hope they fix it soon. This stuff always happens when I actually really need the program. 🤣

This is not correctly answered.

I have a Mac Studio running 14.4.1.

• Safari: 17.4.1 (19618.1.15.11.14)
• Firefox: 124.0.1 (64-bit)
• Chrome:  123.0.6312.59 (Official Build) (arm64)
• Microsoft Edge: 123.0.2420.53 (Official build) (arm64)

The movement between images is a non-obvious UI, and it does not work the same in each browser.  

• Safari: Pressing one of the four thumbnails does not do anything. When scrolling the left command bar does not move. Scrolling with the mouse works only if you press the left mouse button while scrolling.
• Firefox: Pressing one of the four thumbnails moves the larger images to that image. Once you scroll to the right, it seems you cannot scroll back (well, not consistent; sometimes this happens and sometimes not). When scrolling, the left command bar scrolls off the screen. Scrolling with the mouse works only if you press the left mouse button while scrolling.
• Chrome: Pressing one of the four thumbnails moves the larger images to that image. When scrolling the left command bar does not move. Scrolling with the mouse works; you do not have to press the mouse button to scroll on Chrome.
• Microsoft Edge: Point and mouse move does not work. You can only switch images by clicking on a thumbnail. When selecting different thumbnails, the left command bar does not move.

 I hope one of the learnings of this is for Firefly to use a beta testing program more like what Adobe Express Mobile did. We could have found all these issues in a very short beta testing period.

This is not correctly answered.  Functionality is broken; please re-open.

I can only see half the screen when I try to use the AI creating an image. I loose the tools bar and have to go back to the home page. Used it the other day with no problems

[chark724]

I'm having the same problem, their update sucks.

[chark724]

Your viewport now shows images that are too big to see without scrolling and when scrolling you lose all ability to navigate. The navigation panel has to be returned to via individually selecting pictures backwards to get to wher you started. Your update is awful!.
