Add option to set different type of Fill as a default (Content Aware, Generative).

I really need generative expand to stay set as my default after I select it once while using the crop tool. It currently reverts back to "background default" anytime time I click anyting else. We just want to be able to control what option is considered default. Please work your magic for the next update. 

currently this is working as designed

@CShubert  can you please give us users the option to set content-aware fill as default? 

I agree with the many others in here that it's awfully annoying to have to set this over and over and over again.

Facing this issue now. it really slows things down. 

This is really slowing me down. Please fix asap!

Please correct this. I am facing the exact same problem, and it is impeding on my workflow. Seems like basic commen sense to allow somehwere in the settings or even right on the top bar to allow one to choose their default option. It worked seemlessly before having generative fill as the default option to allow me to make crop adjustments rapidly. now i haver to either catch it and manualy change it everytime, or if i forget i have to manually go and highlight the selected background areas and use generative fill on them.

I agree, this is very inconvenient. It really frustrates me that I have to manually switch from background to generative expand every time. It is especially annoying when working with a batch of photos. I keep pressing Generate and then seeing that it just added white background around the picture instead of expanding. than I have to go back and redo it. This was never the issue before the last update so now when I'm focused on work I keep forgetting to switch options and have to go through this process multiple times which is just time consuming and extremely annoying, especially if i'm in a rush. 

Currently working as designed...? So it has literally been changed to have background color as default on purpose? With NO OPTION for the user to select their own preferences?

That's some awful design.

Agreed. or just add an option to let US choose what should be the default based on what we use most. A photographer is almost always going to use the generative expand the most.  C'mon now...  ughh 

I AM BEGGING YOU, please add the option to change the default fill. everytime i open up new images i have to go into the pulldown menu to select generative expand, and when i am editing thousands of photographs it becomes extremely frustrating and time consuming. generative expand was the default option in older versions. you say it's currently working as designed, but the design used to be much better.

Hi all, currently this is working as designed. We will monitor this thread and the more upvotes it gets might allow the team to change the settings. 

Thanks,
