Adobe Firefly is Adobe's family of generative AI models built into Creative Cloud. The most relevant Firefly features for product photography are: - Generative Fill (in Photoshop): Select any area of an image and generate AI content to fill it — replace a background, add props, extend edges - Generate Background (in Firefly and Express): Generate an entirely new background for your product image - Generative Expand: Extend image edges with AI-generated content (useful for resizing product images to new aspect ratios) - Text Effects: AI-generated typographic effects for marketing materials
Adobe Firefly is embedded in tools you may already use — Photoshop, Illustrator, Adobe Express — making it a natural add-on for creative professionals already in the Adobe ecosystem.
Sellable is a standalone ecommerce product photography platform. Upload your product photo; Sellable places it in AI-generated lifestyle environments, on AI-generated models (for fashion), or against AI-generated studio backgrounds. The entire workflow is point-and-click — no Photoshop, no design skills required.
Adobe Firefly workflow for product photography:
1. Open product image in Photoshop
2. Use Remove Background to isolate the product
3. Use Generative Fill or Generate Background to create a lifestyle scene
4. Manually adjust the product's placement, shadows, and reflections
5. Export for use in listings or ads
This workflow requires Photoshop expertise and typically takes 15–45 minutes per image for good results. The output quality for skilled Photoshop users can be excellent, but it requires investment in learning and time per image.
Sellable workflow for product photography:
1. Upload product photo
2. Select scene type or describe the desired environment
3. Generate multiple lifestyle options in seconds
4. Download listing-ready images
No Photoshop. No design skills. Production images in minutes.
Both tools use state-of-the-art AI image generation. The output quality comparison depends on what you're comparing:
Adobe Firefly strengths:
- Tighter creative control when used by a skilled Photoshop user
- Commercial licensing is clearly documented for all Firefly-generated content
- Better integration with existing design system and brand assets when working in Photoshop
Sellable strengths:
- Optimised specifically for product photography — the model is trained on ecommerce imagery
- Consistent product fidelity (your product is preserved, not regenerated)
- Faster at scale — generating 20 images takes minutes, not hours
- No Photoshop skills required

Try Sellable free →Use Adobe Firefly if:
- You're already a skilled Photoshop user who spends time in Creative Cloud daily
- You need creative control over fine-grained details (shadows, reflections, colour grading)
- You're already paying for Adobe Creative Cloud
- You need to integrate product photography into a larger design workflow (packaging design, campaign materials, etc.)
Use Sellable if:
- You're an ecommerce seller or brand manager (not a designer by training)
- You need to generate product photography at scale — dozens of images per week
- You want listing-ready images without a design workflow
- You don't have Adobe Creative Cloud or don't want to learn Photoshop
The right choice depends almost entirely on your existing workflow and skills.
Adobe Firefly for creative professionals already in the Adobe ecosystem who want AI capabilities embedded in their existing Photoshop workflow. The value is highest when Firefly saves time within a workflow you're already doing.
Sellable for ecommerce sellers, brand managers, and anyone who needs production-ready product photography without a design software workflow. Sellable is faster, requires less skill, and is optimised for the specific ecommerce use case.
Partially. Adobe Firefly's Generative Fill can be used with a product cutout to create backgrounds — in this case your product (with its real logo) is preserved in the foreground. However, Firefly may alter product edges, shadows, or reflections in ways that change how the product appears. A skilled Photoshop user can fix these issues. Sellable is designed to preserve product accuracy as a core function.
Yes. Adobe specifically trained Firefly on licensed content and built it for commercial use. Content generated with Firefly is commercially licensed for use in advertising and product listings. This is a meaningful advantage over some other AI tools where commercial licensing is ambiguous.
Sellable is a standalone platform — it doesn't integrate natively with Adobe Creative Cloud. You can export images from Sellable and bring them into Photoshop for any additional refinement. Many brands use Sellable for initial image generation and then use Photoshop for minor adjustments (resizing, overlays, composite with other brand assets).
Both generate high-quality lifestyle backgrounds. Adobe Firefly (with Photoshop) gives skilled users more control over the result. Sellable generates backgrounds optimised for ecommerce product placement with the product accurately composited. For speed and consistency at scale, Sellable is faster. For maximum creative control, a skilled Photoshop user with Firefly can achieve excellent results with more effort.
Yes. Firefly.adobe.com offers free access with a limited number of monthly generation credits (25 fast generations/month as of 2026). Paid Creative Cloud plans include substantially more credits. You can test Firefly's Generate Background and Generative Fill capabilities without a paid subscription.
