Clarification Regarding Generative Fill Credits

Hi everyone,

I am considering the ‘Photography’ subscription, which comes with the 100 generative fill credits per month. I have a couple of questions:

  • I’ve seen that if you generate something, you get a choice of three options. Does this count as one credit? Or, is it only when you pick something you like, you use a credit? It would seen crazy that a credit is used up on something that might be completely unusable?
  • When the credits run out for the month, I’ve heard that you can still use the generative fill, just at a much slower speed. Is this right?

Thanks! 🙂

How are generative credits consumed?

The consumption of generative credits depends on the generated output's computational cost and the value of the generative AI feature used.

Examples of actions where you are debited generative credits:

  • Select Generate in Text Effects
  • Select Load more or Refresh in Text to Image
 

 

Use Generative Recolor in Adobe Illustrator.

 

 

 

Use Text Effects in Adobe Express.

 

 

 

Use Generative Fill in Adobe Photoshop.

 

Examples of when you're not debited generative credits:

  • Using generative AI features defined in the rate table as "0.”
  • Selecting View samples in the Firefly gallery since opening the art isn't a new generation. But you'll be debited generative credits if you select Refresh, which requires a new generation.

Generative credits usage rate table:

Product Feature Generative credit use
Adobe Photoshop Generative Fill 1
Generative Expand 1
Adobe Express Generative Fill 1
Text to Image
1
Text to Template (beta*)
0 credits for a limited time. Check back after January 1, 2024, for more information.
Text Effects
Adobe Illustrator Text to Vector Graphic (beta*) 1
Generative Recolor 1
Adobe Stock Text to Image 1
Expand Image 1
Adobe Firefly web app Text to Image- Firefly Image 1 and Firefly Image 2 models 1
Generative Fill 1
Generative Recolor 1
Text Effects
0 credits for a limited time. Check back after January 1, 2024, for more information.

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

The credit consumption rates are for standard images of up to 2000 x 2000 pixels. To receive the above-listed consumption rates, you must use the latest version of the software. Usage rates may vary. Plans are subject to change.

Adobe Firefly is evolving rapidly. The rate card will be updated as we add more features and services. We plan to offer higher-resolution images, animation, video, and 3D generative AI features in the future. The number of generative credits consumed for those features may be greater.

Thanks for the replies. Good to know it still works when credits run out

However, the info regarding how a credit is used is still unclear.

In the table it just says one credit is used for a "generative fill",  but how is that defined? Is it when you select one of the generated options? Or is a "generative fill" any time you generate three choices out of which you can select one?

It's whenever you click "Generate".
