Question

Many features still in Beta?

I was under the impression that one of Firefly's most useful features was that the images could be used commercially, as they are being based on a closed, controlled ecosystem.

I was considering using it for commercial work, but apparently, this still isn't the case:

"Outputs from beta features can be used commercially unless otherwise designated in the product or elsewhere, but they aren't eligible for indemnification while in beta."

(Emphasis is mine.)

From this page.

 

So, this seems to say that yes, you can use it commercially, but you can be sued. Am I interpreting this correctly?

@turner111 you are talking about two different solutions. Those features in Firefly (not in beta) are available for Commercial use. In Photoshop, they are still being developed and are considered beta.

Hi Kevin, 

I'm addressing indemnification, not commercial use. As noted, Photoshop's AI generated content, as specified in my link, can be used commercially, but its use does not provide legal protections.


I assume this means Photoshop is using a different version of AI generation, which may be drawing from otherwise copyright-protected content.

And yet, Adobe employees answer in these support forums (tagged below)... when it's actually possible to answer, of course 😉

In this case, based on previous attempts to contact Adobe directly - well, I'll try again, but it hasn't been useful in the past. I anticipate being sent to the same page referenced earlier. Maybe it'll be different this time?

Since it's inherently a legal issue, in my opinion, it should be addressed in a way that's clear and easy for a layperson to interpret without undue research.
