@andyjohn, I am not an Adobe employee, so I cannot comment on rebates. I can only give you my perspective as someone who has used Firefly since day one. There are two ways to improve results. The first is to provide feedback on every image that you feel is poor quality. In Photoshop, you do that by hitting the ellipsis on the Gen AI box:
and then click on "poor" and fill out the feedback box:
I have seen improvements from things I have submitted.
The second is to work to improve your ability to write the most effective prompts. A good starting point is this document: Writing effective prompts.
Another suggestion is to use the Firefly Discord if you need suggestions on how to write a specific prompt or learn from others as they develop better prompts. The Firefly-Workshop channel on the Discord is a good place for that kind of help or exchange of ideas.
I am not entirely sure how Generative Fill works in Photoshop, but in Firely, your credits are only deducted if you Download an image. So if you generate and get three results, if you choose to dl all of them, that's three credits used.
The first part of this video from OFFF in Barcelona this year has some excellent tips on Firefly and Generative Fill. It's where I learned about downloading deducts credits.
@droopydog500is correct. Every single prompt takes away 1 credit, even if nothing further is touched. (In Firefly, that is)

That's quite concerning when you consider how poor and irrelevant so many resualts are becoming. I've been saying that it does not matter so much when you have a full subscription with a 100 credits per month, but I had tries the last time I used Generative Fill, and not one of the 12 results was remotely usable. If you just have The Photography Plan (is that 100 credits a month?) you could burn through your allocation, and have nothing to show for it.
To be fair, I just tried it by way of a test, with this screen shot from today's CarWow review of an Astin Martin (which I'd grabbed into Photoshop to try and identify the camera) and with no prompt it did a lot better than I expected. So perhaps I need to work on my prompts?
BTW I am none the wiser about the camera, but it sure looks a lot more professional than a GoPro. Anyone know what it is?
Ai is evolving and it will be more efficient in the future.

I love the posts from the naysayers. who are virulent in their assertions that Ai generated imagery is the work of the devil. Someone want an option to switch off all traces of Ai in Photoshop, because it made him feel ill. Never mind that these people have been happily using Sensei driven tools like Select Object, and a much improved Select & Mask and all manner of other features in Photoshop and other CC apps. At MAX last year Illustrator was able to turn raster text into live text with the same font. I know OCR has been around for years, but this was totally next level. Premiere Pro was able to transcribe speech from a video, and then edit the video by arranging the written text. Proper magic.
These are professional people who, we'd assume, want to remain competitive in a difficult market. OK, a lot of companies are currently insisting their advertising content is Ai free, but how long is that going to last? People can make their own minds up, but I have a strong feeling that most of the dissenters will eventually quietly climb down from their high horses, and not only start using Ai driven tools, but thoroughly enjoy doing so.
