Its a rip off!! Im here writing my complete disaproval for this decision of rip us clients to bye credits to use a simple tool which was already integrated in Photoshop! I have to double my monthly cost just to buy 1000 or 2000 credits to use this?! This makes the creative business even more of a struggle, especially here in Portugal! This is ripping us off.

    For clarity, given that differing numbers of included credits are being quoted in this thread, the link below gives the current credits included in each plan. North America have two plans not available at present outside that area.

    For those considering a Firefly Plan the details are here. Note the reference in the standard Firefly plan to unlimited access for Generative Fill.

      Are you saying you have used all 1000 credits already? You must be using all day every day as I never use more than 100...

        What?! I think I said I never even had 1000 credits to begin with. Supposedly I have only 250 credits a month...Since I have upgraded my photoshop I started with 0.

          Hi Pedro.  Do you know how you are using so many credits?  i.e. are you maybe using Gen Fill when Content Aware Fill would work as well?  Do you have the Remove Tool set to 'Gen Ai On' instead of Auto?

           

          I feel like I use it a lot, but I have never reached 100 out of the 1100 I am allowed.  This is essentially meaningless as we don't know what sort of work you do, but it sounds like you are using more than 1000 credits per month.

            I retouch a lot of clothes product photography for e-commerce and Generative Fill is a vital tool for me to remove some type of imperfections, especially when it has difficult patterns and such. I was using it normally until today, I updated my Photoshop and suddently I only have 250 credits available to use Generative Fill and If I want more I have to update my current plan or buy for more 11,35€ Adobe Firefly 2000 credits to use it more freely. I've started to use Photoshop in order to have Generative Fill which I pay 15€ a month and now I get blocked of using this tool and If I want I have to pay more?! Its nonsense for me.
