Lumen Trust Notes
Midjourney
All image generation happens on Midjourney's servers with no local option, and default plans make outputs publicly visible, creating real privacy concerns for commercial work. The training data provenance is undisclosed, and there is no free tier, limiting access for individuals and smaller organisations. Best used for mood boards and creative exploration; use the Pro Stealth plan for any client-facing or proprietary creative work.
Adobe Firefly
Firefly is cloud-only within Adobe's ecosystem (Privacy Low). Limited free generative credits and paid Creative Cloud paths yield Medium parity. Purpose is High for professional creative work with clearer commercial positioning. Provenance is Medium—Adobe has been more transparent than peers about licensed training data, though models remain closed. Prefer Firefly when IP/commercial-use clarity matters; still review enterprise data terms for sensitive brand assets.
