FLORA vs Adobe Photoshop
| Adobe Photoshop | FLORA |
|---|---|---|
Surface | A feature inside Photoshop, Illustrator and Creative Cloud | A standalone AI-native canvas |
Get started | Requires a Creative Cloud plan | Free to start. No Creative Cloud |

Workflow | Generative fill and expand inside existing tools | Node graph: models, Techniques and batch, end to end |
Agent | AI Assistant across Adobe apps | Fauna composes workflows on the canvas |
Batch | Limited | Permutation batch at campaign scale |
Brand fidelity | Manual, per asset | Techniques encode your brand's look |
Output and rights | You own output. IP indemnification | You own output. Data isn't used for training. Commercially-safe models (Marey) |
Ship cadence | Adobe enterprise release cycle | Weekly. Customer ask to live in ~30 days |
Best for | Teams in Photoshop wanting AI inside it | Teams shipping AI-native campaigns at scale |
WHY SWITCH
Why teams switch from Adobe Photoshop to FLORA
01
Built for AI-native production
Photoshop is a feature inside Adobe's suite. FLORA is a canvas designed from the ground up for AI-native work: node composition, agentic workflows, technique reuse, batch at scale, brand-fidelity governance.
02
A canvas, not an Adobe-extended app
Both ship dozens of frontier models. The difference is the surface. Firefly's models live inside Photoshop. FLORA's 50+ models live on a canvas built for AI-native work.
03
Agentic workflows on one canvas
FLORA's Fauna agent composes multi-step workflows on the canvas. Apply a Technique, batch a permutation, iterate on a region, roundtrip into the editor. No Adobe ecosystem required.
03
Where Photoshop still has an edge
Firefly's Photoshop integration, legal IP indemnification and Adobe procurement are real advantages. FLORA's counter: you own all output, your data isn't used for training, and commercially-safe models like Marey are built in.
THE BIGGER PICTURE
The roadmap is the product
Yes
Standalone canvas. No Creative Cloud to unlock the surface.
50+
Frontier image and video models on one node canvas.
7 days
From customer ask to live feature, on average.
0
Vendor lock. Switch models when something better ships.
“
Adobe is a safe choice. FLORA is a faster choice. For most teams trying to ship more creative work in 2026, faster is the right call.
Who should pick what
Pick
Adobe Photoshop
If
Photoshop's editing surface plus IP-safe generation is enough, and you don't need multi-model orchestration, an agent, or production batch.
Pick
FLORA
If
You want the best model for each job, you need agent, technique and batch workflows, and you want a partner moving at the pace the frontier moves.
Go from brief to ship with FLORA
One brief, one Technique, a full campaign of on-brand variants.
