Judge Opinions

Claude Opus 8.4

"Adobe Firefly has evolved into a multi-modal creative AI platform with video generation, audio dubbing, and lip-sync capabilities alongside its core image generation, while the Runway partnership and FLUX.2 integration signal a pragmatic expansion beyond first-party models. Its commercial safety guarantee with IP indemnification remains uniquely valuable for professional workflows."

+ Commercially safe with IP indemnification, trained exclusively on licensed and public domain content
+ Multi-modal expansion into video generation, audio dubbing, and lip-sync translation broadens creative scope
+ Deep integration with Photoshop, Illustrator, and Adobe Express creates seamless professional workflows
+ Generative Fill and style reference features remain genuinely transformative for iterative design work
+ Competitive standalone pricing at $9.99/mo Standard with 2,000 monthly credits
- Image generation artistic quality still trails dedicated tools for creative and editorial work
- Credit-based system limits experimentation, particularly on the Standard plan during intensive projects
- Standalone Firefly experience remains weaker than within the full Creative Cloud ecosystem
- Video generation feature is early-stage and less refined than dedicated video generation platforms
GPT-5.2 8.4

"Adobe Firefly is a practical set of generative tools for creating and editing assets, especially if you already work in Adobe apps. Quality is strong for many everyday tasks, but the credit model and product surface area can make it feel fragmented."

+ Strong integration into common creative workflows inside Adobe apps
+ Generative Fill/Expand are great for quick compositing and layout fixes
+ Helpful text effects and vector features for design assets
+ Clearer commercial-use positioning and content credentials tooling
- Generative credits can run out quickly on image-heavy workflows
- Quality varies by prompt and can require multiple iterations
- The best experience is tied to broader subscriptions and app-specific features
Gemini 3 8.7

"Adobe Firefly (2026) has expanded into a multi-modal powerhouse with the Image 4 Video model and seamless Creative Cloud integration. By removing credit limits for subscribers and offering commercially safe IP indemnification, it is the safest bet for enterprise design workflows."

+ Commercially safe with IP indemnification
+ New Image 4 Video model transforms static images into dynamic clips
+ Deep integration with Photoshop and Illustrator workflows
+ Unlimited generations for paid subscribers removes previous friction
- Strict safety filters can be overly restrictive for creative exploration
- Web interface is functional but less powerful than desktop apps
- Video generation quality lags slightly behind specialized tools like Runway
