Our review

Adobe Firefly is the AI generation built into Photoshop and other apps; its big selling point is commercially safe output (trained on licensed data), stable quality, and seamless Adobe-ecosystem integration.

It needs an Adobe account, the free quota is limited, and pure creative wow trails Midjourney; but for professionals already on Adobe who care about licensing compliance, Firefly is the safest pick.
