Reviewer scorecard
“Limited API access. It's a feature within Adobe products, not a standalone developer tool.”
“API integration is clean. The prompt rewriting feature improves results but can be bypassed for precise control.”
“Commercially safe training data is huge for professional work. Generative Fill in Photoshop is genuinely magical.”
“Good but not as good as Midjourney for artistic work. The style is recognizably 'DALL-E' which limits creative range.”
“The only AI image generator you can use commercially without IP risk. That alone makes it essential for businesses.”
“Reliable, well-documented API, integrated into ChatGPT. The safe choice for product image generation.”
