Editor’s verdict

Adobe Firefly integrates natively with Photoshop, Illustrator, and Creative Cloud, with commercial-safe training data; Midjourney produces more visually stunning and artistically diverse results but lacks deep integration with professional design tools. Choose Firefly for commercial design workflows and IP safety; choose Midjourney for artistic exploration.
