Adobe Firefly is Adobe's AI creative model, trained on licensed content so outputs are safe for commercial use out of the box. It is integrated across Photoshop, Illustrator and Premiere, which is where most professional creatives already work. If you value indemnified content, brand-safe generation and a Photoshop-native workflow more than raw aesthetic ceiling, Firefly is the enterprise-friendly pick.
