Fill & Expand different as Image 3 in terms of image modification

Hi folks

This is my first question here and i don’t know yet how to navigate on this site, so sorry if this question has already been asked or if it’s just a dumb question.
 

I’ve been using Image 3 to modify my already existing landscape photos. For example if i wanted to turn my photo to look like watercolor painting i just used Quick Mask Mode > Prompt “Watercolor” and that was it. The results were more or less okay. Good enough. 
 

Since Fill & Expand was released, the same prompt only creates a layer of watercolor paint on white surface. It doesn’t modify my photo at all.

I’ve tried the “Turneresque” prompt to make my photos look like a painting of J.M.W. Turner and it just created an image of god knows what. Image 3 creates a slightly Turneresque image. 

Am i doing something wrong or do i have to switch to Image 3 every time i want to use generative fill for this purpose?

Thanks in advance for your help!

PS.: I also gave the “Turneresque” prompt to Gemini 3 and the difference between the results compared to Image 3 is INSANE. Gemini 3 creates a piece of art. It’s ridiculous how much better the end results are. Too bad it uses 40 credits to generate.
