Adobe Firefly is explicitly licensed for commercial use. FLUX.1 and Stable Diffusion outputs are generally treated as free to use commercially.

FLUX.1 and DALL\u00b7E 3 handle these significantly better than older models.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How do I make AI images look less artificial?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Add photography terms: &#8220;Canon 5D, f\/1.8, slight lens flare, natural shadow.&#8221; This reads more realistically than generic &#8220;photorealistic photo.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Text-to-image AI has gone from a novelty to a genuinely useful tool.
