A ball python coiled gracefully on a moss-covered rock, surrounded by a serene, misty swamp at dawn, with the still water reflecting the snake’s sleek body. Fantasy, surreal, cinematic, detailed.

While this is being solved, here's a workaround:
Open an image where you've previously applied the preset - it should be in a folder.
If appropriate, remove all of the layer masks from each adjustment.
Also if appropriate, reset the individual adjustment settings to their correct settings for that preset (may not be known).
Open the Libraries panel and create an Adjustments library.
Drag the folder to the new Adjustments library.
When applying from the Library, hold down Opt/Alt and drag to your layer stack.
Removing the masks first is necessary to allow the adjustments to apply to the entire canvas, instead of being overlaid from the source document.
This isn't a great solution since most of us will have modified presets when applying them to other images, but it may save at least a little frustration until Adobe works this out. Also, the Library panel will not show a proper thumbnail for the adjustment stack, so be sure to use a good descriptive name.

Thanks for sharing the PSD file from my blog! This is not quite the same as the Adjustment preset, which is in PSAP format. The reason I haven't posted it to my blog yet is that I am waiting for the Photoshop team to let me know this feature is fully supported. It turns out there may still be some issues with importing presets, but I don't have any more details than that. This is current as of 25.5.
As soon as I find out officially, I will release a new blog post and make a comment here.

This is indeed a workaround, but it's not ideal (and not obvious). Perhaps people with CC accounts can have a setting that takes them straight to the workspace without stopping by the gallery first? This should be the same for all of the models - a less "sugary" starting experience for those who want to get straight to work on a known project.
I think a more streamlined experience will play better for experienced/advanced users that don't need to go through suggestions would be great for professionals. Keep the current scheme for more casual users, and as an option to return to for inspiration - what we see now is amazing for getting ideas, but many of us don't want to be distracted 🙂

I don't believe so; I've used Clear Styles and it does not help with generating a new seed, does not reset sliders (visual intensity or style), or style reference. I'm looking for some way to completely reset everything back to default.
The use case for this is when working serially on different projects. It's easy to miss a slider or other setting when generating to a new prompt, and that wastes time (and eventually credits).

Done - thank you! It's easy enough to d/l the full image and do the work in PS directly, but it seems odd that the main Firefly d/l is JPG, but after using the Edit features you get a PNG with a different file name.

In the Edit module, there is an option to remove the background. This appears to only enable replacing the background rather than allowing a transparent background to be saved. When downloading, it's already a PNG instead of a JPG, so it seem that the intent was to enable a cutout function.
For this to be really useful to Express, we need to be able to send over a subject with a transparent background. Otherwise the feature is pretty much useless.
Please enable downloading of a PNG with the background removed.

Currently, defining a subject in a scene randomly places the subject so there is no way to control placement and composition.
Please add a control for Distance to Subject so we can retain composition while changing lens settings. This is important for authentically simulating camera effects.
Please add a Placement control as we can consistently place the subject within the frame.

I really enjoy the Photo settings sliders, but I have a use case that is not currently met.
Changing the Photo settings also changes the image content as if with a new seed. I'd like to simulate shooting the exact same scene with different settings. This would simulate moving the camera when changing focal length or aperture. Retain the same subject composition, such as a bust or full length portrait so that the subject retains the same visual space in the frame.

Current, opening up Firefly in a browser starts at the top level, and selecting one of the models takes you to a gallery start page. Please enable an account-level option to skip the gallery and go straight to the workspace.
This allows experienced users to set up their parameters without first creating a prompt. This saves time and a few steps.
Going straight to the workspace without any generated images also reduces compute overhead and load, and saves some account credits.

Currently, there is no straightforward way to reset all of the controls. Please provide a simple button that allows the prompt to be cleared, all settings back to default, and clearing the seed cache.

Under Image 2, the ability to Edit > Generative Fill only allows for download; there is no clear UI method to return to previous results, which means the prior images get re-rendered when using the browser back button.
It would make more sense to open the Edit environment in a new tab or as a frame to allow closing the environment without reloading the previous page.

I am using a prompt to generate headshots ("young professional portrait"), with Photo settings to create an in-focus background (f/22, 200mm). The photo settings seem to be ignored, even if I include "sharp background" or "in focus background."
It looks like the "portrait" and "headshot" key words demand an out-of-focus background or a flat background if it's kept sharp.

Issue: Editing Warp on Smart Object causes crash under certain conditions.
Photoshop version: GM 24.7.0 & Private Beta 25.0.0OS: Mac / Ventura 13.5
Steps to reproduce: 1. Create a pixel layer with some content (e.g., gradient) and convert to Smart Object 2. Apply Edit > Transform > Warp to the SO 3. Create additional control points either by adding grid lines or using the Grid drop down (e.g., 3x3) 4. Select two or more control points (holding Shift) and move or rotate them; commit (Enter) 5. Apply Edit > Transform > Warp
Expected result: Warp controls should show up to continue editing the warped layer Actual result: Instant hard crash to desktop

I don't think it would be confusing if the UX included some descriptions along the way - perhaps a toggle like in some of the apps that enables/disables context popups or help overlays?

Yes! It's great to describe an image, but as we move forward with creating art we need to exercise more control over our vision. It's one thing to enjoy serendipity, but at some point we have to be able to express things to the limits of our skill. This will become incredibly important for commercial use, as well.

Photo illustrators and compositors often need background elements that are either flat backdrops or open scenes that leave space for inserting other objects. Having a Style preset that helps Firefly understand the intent of its output would be very helpful. The result should have additional options for moving the "open" area around the scene easily.

Currently, some options cause an automatic Refresh/Regenerate, such as moving the Strength slider for the reference image or choosing a different style. This causes unexpected additional requests that take up time and compute resources. Please default to only refreshing when the actual button is pressed to avoid delays and wasting resources.

It's not clear how seeds are treated when refreshing. Having the ability to retain the seed values enables refinement and development of ideas across sessions, while generating a new seed that is far away from the current one allows more exploration. Please include an option to manage the seeds for generating images, including the ability to: save the seed value and reuse it later; generate a new seed that is closer to or further away from the current seed; enter the seed value (or upload in some way).
