What are your options? <\/p>\n<p>The most obvious choice would be to use <strong>Adobe Firefly<\/strong>, which is Adobe\u2019s own AI image generator. A big advantage with Firefly is that it\u2019s included with your <a href=\"https:\/\/adobe.prf.hn\/click\/camref:1100lrdjJ\/destination:https%3A%2F%2Fwww.adobe.com%2Fproducts%2Fphotoshop.html\" title=\"Get Photoshop from the Adobe website\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Creative Cloud subscription<\/a> so you can generate images at no additional cost. You can access Adobe Firefly on the <a href=\"https:\/\/firefly.adobe.com\/\" title=\"Visit the Adobe Firefly website\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Firefly website<\/a> or by using the new <a href=\"\/photo-effects\/how-to-generate-ai-images-in-photoshop-using-adobe-firefly\/\" title=\"How to use Generate Image in Photoshop\">Generate Image<\/a> feature in the Photoshop beta.<\/p>\n<p>Your other option would be to use a third party AI image generator, with <strong>Midjourney<\/strong> currently the most popular. Midjourney is capable of producing incredibly realistic results, but the disadvantage is that it requires its own monthly subscription.<\/p>\n<p>So are Adobe Firefly\u2019s AI images good enough for what you need or is Midjourney so much better that it\u2019s worth the extra cost? I\u2019ve spent a lot of time with both Firefly and Midjourney, and I can tell you with absolute certainty that the answer is\u2026 it depends. <\/p>\n<p>To show you what I mean, let\u2019s put both to the test to see how they compare when given the same prompts. <\/p>\n<p>In keeping with the AI theme, I asked ChatGPT to come up with some simple prompts to create eight different kinds of images, from nature and landscape scenes to product shots, still life, portraits, and yes, even a fire-breathing dragon. For each comparison, I\u2019ve entered the exact same prompt into Firefly and Midjourney, clicked Generate once, and chose the best of the four initial results that each one gave me.<\/p>\n<p>We'll be comparing Firefly Image 3 and Midjourney V6, the most current versions at this time.<\/p>\n<style type=\"text\/css\">\n.ads-middle { display: inline-block; width:300px; margin:6px 0px 24px 0px; padding-top: 16px; padding-bottom: 16px; }\n@media (max-width: 515px) { .ads-middle { margin:20px 0; } }\n@media (max-width: 480px) { .ads-middle { margin:20px 0; } }\n<\/style><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-6601556224092982\"\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\n<!-- photo effects 300x250 middle responsive -->\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle ads-middle\"\n     style=\"display:block\"\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-6601556224092982\"\n     data-ad-slot=\"4216941496\"\n     data-ad-format=\"rectangle\"\n     data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\n<script>\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\n<\/script>\n<p>Let's get started!<\/p>\n<p class=\"members-ad-top\"><a href=\"\/print-ready-pdfs\/\">Download all of our Photoshop tutorials as PDFs!<\/a><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"sub\">AI image comparison #1: Misty forest at dawn<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Prompt:<\/strong> <q>A dense forest with mist rolling through the trees at dawn, with sun rays filtering through the foliage.<\/q><\/p>\n<h3>Adobe Firefly result<\/h3>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-editing\/adobe-firefly\/firefly-vs-midjourney\/adobe-firefly-misty-forest.jpg\" alt=\"An AI generated misty forest image created in Adobe Firefly\" width=\"809\" height=\"466\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">Adobe Firefly image.<\/div>\n<h3>Midjourney result<\/h3>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-editing\/adobe-firefly\/firefly-vs-midjourney\/midjourney-misty-forest.jpg\" alt=\"An AI generated misty forest image created in Midjourney\" width=\"809\" height=\"457\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">Midjourney image.<\/div>\n<h3>Which was better?<\/h3>\n<p>Since AI image generators always produce random results and you never get the same result twice, a direct comparison can be a challenge. That\u2019s especially true with nature photos like these where Adobe Firefly and Midjourney are both quite capable and produced good results.<\/p>\n<p>The Firefly image has more sun rays and mist, at the expense of the forest which looks rather bare. By comparison, the Midjourney image shows a lush green forest but is less misty and shows fewer sun rays. Is one result better than the other? Not really. They\u2019re different but both look good.<\/p>\n<h3>Winner: Tie<\/h3>\n<h2 class=\"sub\">AI image comparison #2: Mountain range at sunset<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Prompt:<\/strong> <q>Majestic mountains with snow-capped peaks, a vibrant sunset sky, and a serene lake reflecting the scene.<\/q><\/p>\n<h3>Adobe Firefly result<\/h3>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-editing\/adobe-firefly\/firefly-vs-midjourney\/adobe-firefly-mountain.jpg\" alt=\"An AI generated mountain landscape scene created in Adobe Firefly\" width=\"809\" height=\"466\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">Adobe Firefly image.<\/div>\n<h3>Midjourney result<\/h3>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-editing\/adobe-firefly\/firefly-vs-midjourney\/midourney-mountains.jpg\" alt=\"An AI generated mountain landscape scene created in Midjourney\" width=\"809\" height=\"457\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">Midjourney image.<\/div>\n<h3>Which was better?<\/h3>\n<p>With this landscape scene, the difference between Firefly and Midjourney is more obvious.<\/p>\n<p> Adobe Firefly gave us the image we asked for and it\u2019s not bad. It just lacks detail, which was also a problem with the previous Firefly result we looked at. <\/p>\n<p>By comparison, the Midjourney image is more eye-catching. The contrast is stronger, everything is more detailed and the composition draws you in. Both are usable but if given a choice, I\u2019d take the Midjourney result.<\/p>\n<h3>Winner: Midjourney<\/h3>\n<style type=\"text\/css\">\n.ads-middle { display: inline-block; width:300px; margin:6px 0px 24px 0px; padding-top: 16px; padding-bottom: 16px; }\n@media (max-width: 515px) { .ads-middle { margin:20px 0; } }\n@media (max-width: 480px) { .ads-middle { margin:20px 0; } }\n<\/style><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-6601556224092982\"\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\n<!-- photo effects 300x250 middle responsive -->\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle ads-middle\"\n     style=\"display:block\"\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-6601556224092982\"\n     data-ad-slot=\"4216941496\"\n     data-ad-format=\"rectangle\"\n     data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\n<script>\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\n<\/script>\n<h2 class=\"sub\">AI image comparison #3: Product shot<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Prompt:<\/strong> <q>Product shot, a luxurious perfume bottle on a sleek marble surface, surrounded by delicate petals and soft ambient lighting, with a blurred elegant background.<\/q><\/p>\n<h3>Adobe Firefly result<\/h3>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-editing\/adobe-firefly\/firefly-vs-midjourney\/adobe-firefly-product-shot.jpg\" alt=\"An AI generated product shot created in Adobe Firefly\" width=\"809\" height=\"466\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">Adobe Firefly image.<\/div>\n<h3>Midjourney result<\/h3>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-editing\/adobe-firefly\/firefly-vs-midjourney\/midjourney-product-shot.jpg\" alt=\"An AI generated product shot created in Midjourney\" width=\"809\" height=\"457\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">Midjourney image.<\/div>\n<h3>Which was better?<\/h3>\n<p>This time we have a product shot of a perfume bottle, and I like the Adobe Firefly result better. <\/p>\n<p>To me, the Firefly image looks more like a product shot with the perfume bottle front and center, and the bottle\u2019s reflection on the marble surface looks more natural compared to the stretched and distorted reflection from Midjourney. <\/p>\n<p>Also, Firefly\u2019s habit of adding less detail than Midjourney has worked in its favor, allowing the focus to remain on the perfume bottle while Midjourney\u2019s preference for more detail made the shot too busy. <\/p>\n<p>The flower petals in the Firefly image should be softer, but overall I\u2019m going with Adobe Firefly for this one.<\/p>\n<h3>Winner: Adobe Firefly<\/h3>\n<h2 class=\"sub\">AI image comparison #4: Home interior<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Prompt:<\/strong> <q>A warm and inviting living room with a fireplace, comfortable furniture, and soft lighting.<\/q><\/p>\n<h3>Adobe Firefly result<\/h3>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-editing\/adobe-firefly\/firefly-vs-midjourney\/adobe-firefly-cozy-home.jpg\" alt=\"An AI generated home interior photo created in Adobe Firefly\" width=\"809\" height=\"466\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">Adobe Firefly image.<\/div>\n<h3>Midjourney result<\/h3>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-editing\/adobe-firefly\/firefly-vs-midjourney\/midjourney-cozy-home.jpg\" alt=\"An AI generated home interior photo created in Midjourney\" width=\"809\" height=\"457\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">Midjourney image.<\/div>\n<h3>Which was better?<\/h3>\n<p>For this home interior prompt, Firefly generated a photo of a living room that would probably look good in a furniture catalog or a real estate listing.

So instead of a photorealistic image of a dragon perched on a castle tower, it gave us an illustration. It\u2019s a really good illustration, and fantasy illustrations like these are something Firefly does very well.<\/p>\n<p>But if we wanted something photorealistic, it was Midjourney that delivered, producing an amazing cinematic image that looks straight out of Game of Thrones.<\/p>\n<h3>Winner: Midjourney<\/h3>\n<h2 class=\"sub\">AI image comparison #6: Still life photo<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Prompt:<\/strong> <q>A still life photo featuring a rustic wooden table with a bowl of fresh fruit, a vase of flowers, and a softly lit background.<\/q><\/p>\n<h3>Adobe Firefly result<\/h3>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-editing\/adobe-firefly\/firefly-vs-midjourney\/adobe-firefly-still-life.jpg\" alt=\"An AI generated still life photo created in Adobe Firefly\" width=\"809\" height=\"466\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">Adobe Firefly image.<\/div>\n<h3>Midjourney result<\/h3>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-editing\/adobe-firefly\/firefly-vs-midjourney\/midjourney-still-life.jpg\" alt=\"An AI generated still life photo created in Midjourney\" width=\"809\" height=\"457\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">Midjourney image.<\/div>\n<h3>Which was better?<\/h3>\n<p>If Midjourney could create a fire-breathing dragon, you\u2019d think it would have no trouble with a still life photo of flowers and a bowl of fruit. And yet, the image it gave us looks messy and cluttered. Just like with the product shot from earlier, Midjourney\u2019s preference for detail and complexity is working against it and adding too much to the scene.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, Firefly\u2019s general lack of detail created a more pleasing image with a clean and simple composition. Some of the fruit in the bowl looks fake because of the reduced detail, but it\u2019s still a nicer image overall.<\/p>\n<h3>Winner: Adobe Firefly<\/h3>\n<h2 class=\"sub\">AI image comparison #7: Portrait of an elderly man<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Prompt:<\/strong> <q>A close-up portrait of an elderly man with deep wrinkles, wearing a hat, and a thoughtful expression.<\/q><\/p>\n<h3>Adobe Firefly result<\/h3>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-editing\/adobe-firefly\/firefly-vs-midjourney\/adobe-firefly-old-man.jpg\" alt=\"An AI generated portrait of an elderly man created in Adobe Firefly\" width=\"809\" height=\"466\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">Adobe Firefly image.<\/div>\n<h3>Midjourney result<\/h3>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-editing\/adobe-firefly\/firefly-vs-midjourney\/midjourney-old-man.jpg\" alt=\"An AI generated portrait of an elderly man created in Midjourney\" width=\"809\" height=\"457\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">Midjourney image.<\/div>\n<h3>Which was better?<\/h3>\n<p>We\u2019ve seen that the main difference between Adobe Firefly and Midjourney is the amount of detail they can render, and Firefly\u2019s lower detail can sometimes work to its advantage. But not here. The lack of detail is very obvious with close-up portraits like these. Skin is simply too complex for Firefly to handle, resulting in the man\u2019s face having a slightly plastic look to it. It\u2019s a nice photo overall, but it looks fake.<\/p>\n<p>Midjourney\u2019s higher detail makes it much better for portraits. Even without any additional upscaling or sharpening, the man\u2019s face looks realistic. I do like the warmth of the Firefly image, but the detail just isn\u2019t there.<\/p>\n<h3>Winner: Midjourney<\/h3>\n<style type=\"text\/css\">\n.ads-middle { display: inline-block; width:300px; margin:6px 0px 24px 0px; padding-top: 16px; padding-bottom: 16px; }\n@media (max-width: 515px) { .ads-middle { margin:20px 0; } }\n@media (max-width: 480px) { .ads-middle { margin:20px 0; } }\n<\/style><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-6601556224092982\"\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\n<!-- photo effects 300x250 middle responsive -->\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle ads-middle\"\n     style=\"display:block\"\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-6601556224092982\"\n     data-ad-slot=\"4216941496\"\n     data-ad-format=\"rectangle\"\n     data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\n<script>\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\n<\/script>\n<h2 class=\"sub\">AI image comparison #8: Portrait of a young woman<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Prompt:<\/strong> <q>A young woman standing in a field of vibrant wildflowers, with the warm glow of golden hour illuminating her.<\/q><\/p>\n<h3>Adobe Firefly result<\/h3>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-editing\/adobe-firefly\/firefly-vs-midjourney\/adobe-firefly-woman-portrait.jpg\" alt=\"An AI generated portrait of a young woman  created in Adobe Firefly\" width=\"809\" height=\"466\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">Adobe Firefly image.<\/div>\n<h3>Midjourney result<\/h3>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-editing\/adobe-firefly\/firefly-vs-midjourney\/midjourney-woman-portrait.jpg\" alt=\"An AI generated portrait of a young woman created in Midjourney\" width=\"809\" height=\"457\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">Midjourney image.<\/div>\n<h3>Which was better?<\/h3>\n<p>If close-up portraits are a problem for Firefly, what if we pull the camera back?

Our subject does look more realistic this time in the Firefly image, but even at this distance the detail isn\u2019t quite enough. And as usual, Firefly\u2019s result looks bland and less interesting. Midjourney\u2019s shallow depth of field, soft lighting and warm glow give the image a professional look, while Firefly\u2019s image looks amateurish by comparison.<\/p>\n<h3>Winner: Midjourney<\/h3>\n<h2 class=\"sub\">Overall winner: Midjourney<\/h2>\n<p>Adobe Firefly powers all of Photoshop\u2019s generative AI features, including <a href=\"\/photo-editing\/extend-images-with-generative-fill\/\" title=\"Learn more about Generative Fill\">Generative Fill<\/a> which is great for editing tasks like <a href=\"\/photo-editing\/extend-images-faster-with-generative-expand-in-photoshop\/\" title=\"How to extend an image with Generative Expand\">extending an image<\/a> or <a href=\"\/photo-editing\/generative-fill-in-photoshop-remove-people-and-objects-from-photos\/\" title=\"How to remove people from photos in Photoshop\">removing people from photos<\/a>.

As an editing or creative tool, Adobe Firefly works great.<\/p>\n<p>But is Adobe Firefly good enough to generate entire images from scratch? In some cases, yes. <\/p>\n<p>In our testing, Firefly did a comparable job to Midjourney with the <q>sunlight through the misty forest<\/q> prompt. And it did better than Midjourney with the product shot and the still life photo where Firefly\u2019s lower detail worked to its advantage. Firefly is also great at illustrations, as we saw with the dragon.<\/p>\n<p>However, in all cases where higher levels of detail were needed, Midjourney was the clear winner. Firefly simply could not compete with the detail and complexity that Midjourney was capable of, whether it was the mountain landscape, the home interior, our two portrait shots, or the fire-breathing dragon. <\/p>\n<p>You can always edit your Midjourney prompt to ask for less detail when you need it, but asking Firefly for more detail won\u2019t work. Of course things could change with Adobe\u2019s next version of Firefly. But for now, is Midjourney worth the extra cost for your AI images?
