🎉A New Home for the Adobe Community 🎉

[AshimG]

Hello Adobe Community, 

We are so excited to share that we have a new home and, it is better than ever! You can find the new homepage at community.adobe.com or adobe.com/community. 

The Adobe Community is more than just product forums—it’s a place to connect, get inspired, and grow as a creator. Our new Community homepage brings it all together in one central place, giving you a clearer view of everything available to you. Whether you’re here to learn, contribute, or just explore, this community is for you — a place where ideas grow, connections form, and your voice helps shape the future of our products. This is your Community.

So, what’s new:

• A streamlined homepage where you can explore product forums, browse creative inspiration galleries, and discover upcoming events—all in one place.
• A new Creator Spotlight section featuring community members like you and highlighting your work and giving you quick access to starter resources like free assets, live learning sessions, and social content to help you begin or grow your creative journey.

Your trusted product-specific forums are now grouped under “Product Community” to make navigation easier.

It's the first time we are bringing community resources under one roof, and we’d love to hear from you. What other content, features or resources would you like to see in your community?

Welcome to your new home! Let’s build something great — together.

- Your Adobe Community team

I get 'component didn't load' when I click on the community_dot_adobe_dot_com link.

Hi Larry - we are looking into it. What browser/device are you using?

[LAMY2017]

2020 Macbook Air M1 running Sequoia 15.5; Firefox 139.0.1

FF plugins: DuckDuckGo Privacy Extensions; Adblocker Ultimate

-- disabling the plugins didn't prevent the error --

When I look at the hover hint for the link that looks like community.adobe.com, I see this hairy-long link:

https://nam04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcommunity.adobe.com%2F&data=05%7C0...

I pasted that link into Safari v18.5 and did not see the error message. No security plugins in Safari.

-- Safari correctly converted the URL to community.adobe.com successfully.

Hi Larry, in case the issue is still not resolved, you can try the follwing steps. 

• Open Chrome browser > more tools > dev tools
• Within dev tools, locate the 'application' tab
• On clicking the 'application' tab, you will see 'local storage' option
• Locate community.adobe.com within the 'local stroage' option
• Please search for a key starting with 'prevSearch' and DELETE this key completely 

This should clear your search history which is corrupted and is causing this error on the home page. You can use the same steps for any other browser as well. 

Do let us know if this resolves the issue.

Thanks, <AG>

Hi @LAMY2017,

Could you please try the link in Google Chrome? The Component error was there till yesterday, and now I don't see it now.

Thanks,

Mohit

Let me press further:

Since all of these are called “AI generation tools,” what is the real, fundamental difference between Adobe’s products and other generators on the market (e.g. Microsoft Copilot / ChatGPT, or open-source Stable Diffusion)?

• Is it about legitimacy of training materials?

• Or the ability to fully integrate with traditional industry standards?

• Or simply about building a different closed ecosystem?

If Adobe cannot articulate this clearly, how are creators supposed to justify the unique value of using Adobe instead of other tools?

[AlanGilbertson]

This is not the right thread for your question, but I'll try to answer it.

Adobe has been as clear as possible about their approach to genAI and why it is different from other genAI products. First of all, you should understand the difference between a GPT (text) generator and an image (diffusion) generator. Adobe does not provide a general-purpose GPT except within Acrobat for use with your own PDFs.

Adobe's image generator is Firefly, which also powers the genAI features inside Adobe's individual products. As to why it is different, you should read the details here, but I can give a quick summary: Whereas all other image generators were trained on scraped content from the entire internet (Midjourney famously gave that away when "Getty Images" watermarks showed up in their output) without permission or compensation, Firefly is trained only on content that Adobe has licensed and paid for, or is in the public domain. The Adobe Stock contributors whose images are used to train Firefly are compensated by Adobe when their content goes into a generated image. This is why Adobe can offer legal protection in the event that someone claims their copyright has been violated by a Firefly image.

The bottom line for a creator is, if you want to be sure your AI generations won't violate anyone's copyright, or if you just don't like the idea of stealing other people's work without permission, you have a good justification for using Firefly.
