P: Firefly Model 4 quality concerns

Community Beginner ,
Apr 24, 2025 Apr 24, 2025

Why should we pay for a tool that's getting worse and worse?
I use Firefly mainly to generate effects on images I upload (for composition) and by using reference images (also uploaded by me) for the style. Until yesterday, everything was fine, but now suddenly Firefly 3 no longer follows the lines of the reference image for the composition. Let alone Firefly 4, which just does its own thing entirely, ignoring the reference images altogether. I'm speechless.

Oh my gosh. I'd love for your team to actually try some prompts and see your own results. There is no way you could use the current firefly and then be flummoxed concerning someone's frustrated, poor feedback. Adobe needs to be better because there are ALOT of alternatives that are dramatically better currently.

I have no words for how poor the results are in Firefly 4. They never have anything to do with your prompt. They are a total waste of time and credits. I was never excited with Firefly 3 results, but now it looks like a winner compared to 4. I and posting the latest worthless results with the prompt. If any knows why I always get these rooms and garden elements with really poorly rendered people please let me know. Here is the prompt "Magnificent ancient willow, hugging the bank of a small meandering river weaving it’s way across a tall grass meadow in summer. Late afternoon sky, light filtering through the tree, soaring thunderheads in the sky." Attached are the results.Screen Shot 2025-07-12 at 10.01.49 PM.pngScreen Shot 2025-07-12 at 10.02.26 PM.pngScreen Shot 2025-07-12 at 10.02.10 PM.pngScreen Shot 2025-07-12 at 10.02.05 PM.pngScreen Shot 2025-07-12 at 10.01.56 PM.png

the top row is firefly 4 ultra, the bottom is firefly 3... as you can see the firefly 3 is following the reference image perfectly, although the quality is not there. About 2 weeks ago firefly 4 ultra was following the reference images to perfection, and had the extra quality and detail that 3 doesn't have. I pray to get back to this...

Sorry about the trouble. Are you still getting an issue? We're aware of the similar issue where reference image is not being followed in Image 4. 

 

Let us know.

Thanks,

Please, bring back Model 3, the new model is a disaster, it does not follow the reference image at all. It was such a good tool, now is completely missing the point. 

Bring back model 3.

Hello @andres_adan_5227,

 

If you are using text to image, you can select Model 3:
