I am experiencing an issue with Generative Fill in Photoshop.

Every time I try to use Generative Fill, I receive one of the following error messages:

  • "An error occurred. Please try again later."
  • "We encountered an unexpected error."

This issue has been ongoing for the past 2–3 days and happens consistently on every attempt.

What I tried:

  • Restarted Photoshop
  • Logged out and logged back into my Adobe account
  • Tested with different files and selections
  • Checked my internet connection

None of these steps resolved the issue.

Additional info:
The problem appears to be consistent and not file-specific. Generative Fill is currently unusable.

Could this be a server-side issue related to Adobe Firefly?

System info (optional – you can edit):

  • Photoshop version: (write your version)
  • OS: Windows 10 / 11

Thank you.

    Hi ​@AZAT Replay 

     

    1. Try resetting Prefs for the Beta:
    /Users/yourname/Library/Preferences/ Photoshop Beta Settings (Mac Ventura)
    /Users/yourname/Library/Preferences/Adobe\ Photoshop\ \(Beta\)\ Settings (Mac)


    C:\Users\user name\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop (Beta)\Adobe Photoshop (Beta) Settings


    Launch BETA Photoshop While Pressing The Keyboard Shortcut
    With Photoshop closed, press and hold Shift+Ctrl+Alt (Win) / Shift+Command+Option (Mac) on your keyboard and then Launch Photoshop the way you normally would.

    2. It may help if we could see your Photoshop beta System Info. Launch Photoshop beta, and select Help >System Info...and copy/paste the text in a reply.  

    Thanks,
