What is Adobe Firefly best for?
Adobe Firefly is useful when you are choosing a tool for creating, editing, or preparing visuals without a full design production cycle. It is a AI-enhanced platform in the Image & Design category, so the main question is not only whether it can produce output, but whether it fits the workflow you already run: generating concepts, editing assets, preparing social graphics, or producing campaign visuals.
