Answer: Highly unlikely. Beginners and anyone who needs a one-off flyer or other creative project can opt for Affinity’s free-edition suite, but true professionals and anyone looking to create high-quality creative work will almost certainly stick with Adobe Creative Cloud Pro, which is supported by their big three creative apps: Photoshop, Illustrator, and InDesign. But Adobe has decided to take the incentive even further with a free Generative AI offer that’s running until December 15 for Creative Cloud Pro customers.

Unlimited pro-level AI generation
This free Generator AI offering from Adobe includes free unlimited Firefly and third-party image generation, as well as unlimited Firefly video generation. Since this offering is for Creative Cloud Pro customers, you’re already aware of the incredible potential of combining free AI and Firefly features with the more than 20 professional creative tools that make up this industry-best suite. Since the Creative Cloud Pro suite is constantly being updated by Adobe with new features, you’ll now get free Firefly features, new automation, and better control across the entire suite.
Those constant automatic updates aren’t just cosmetic changes or minor UX tweaks. They’re powerful new tools and features that creative professionals will use frequently. Some of the latest update highlights include:
- Firefly Board for brainstorming and visual exploration
- New Photoshop features including Harmonize (1-click composite blending) and an advanced generative fill powered by Gemini 3 Flash Images
- The new Image Trace Engine for Illustrator, which creates dramatically cleaner vector conversions, and Illustrator Turntable for visualizing 3D concepts in 2D workflows
- Premiere Pro’s AI object masking and scene edit detection, which video editors can use to literally cut their editing time in half.
everything works together
The long-standing advantage Adobe Creative Cloud Pro has over its competitors is that all 20+ apps work together. A creative professional might ask Illustrator to talk to Photoshop, and Photoshop to talk to InDesign, etc. Nothing is lost in translation or requires external apps or unused third party plug-ins, but there are hundreds of third party integrations with other very useful apps like Figma and Blender.
And no creative shop does it better than Adobe in terms of the latest AI integration and tools, which is why they’re able to offer this free Generative AI addition to Creative Cloud Pro customers. Freeware is nice, but the real weight of the creative world has always been and still is Adobe Creative Cloud Pro. Subscribe now, or if you’re already a Creative Cloud Pro subscriber, be sure to redeem Adobe’s free Generator AI offer before it expires on December 15th.
