The 'Generative Credits' system in place on Adobe Firefly will soon include all Firefly-powered tools in Photoshop and Lightroom, too.
Adobe started tracking Firefly-enabled use per user at the beginning of 2024, but photographers and graphic designers probably didn’t realize that their work in Adobe’s flagship Photoshop program incurred the use of generative credits since the company wasn’t particularly forthcoming about it; that is to say, Adobe didn’t push a notification to users at all.
These usage number exist now because it says it wants to be transparent about usage so that when it does start enforcing these limits, users can see how much they’ve used historically. It’s not clear when Adobe will actually start to enforce limits and block features if Credits are expended. It also begs the question: Why is Adobe selling access to more credits if they’re not needed? More on that below.
Generative Credits are refreshed monthly, don’t roll over, and can’t be shared among users. The amount a user is provided depends on their account level. If a user is subscribed to the All Apps plan, they receive 1,000 credits per month. Those subscribed to Illustrator, InDesign, Photoshop, Premiere Pro, After Effects, Audition, Animate, Adobe Dreamweaver, Adobe Stock, and Photography 1TB single app plans receive 500 per month.
Additional credits can be purchased through the Creative Cloud app, but only 100 more per month. That costs $4.99 a month if billed monthly or $49.99 if a full year is paid for up-front. Again, even these additionally purchased credits do not roll over if they are not used and there does not appear to be an option to purchase more than 100 additional credits per month — at least not one that appears before burning through all credits already purchased.
