"Violate guidelines" problem

I use generative fill to fix small areas of an image. It works well except in any instance where there is a body. If, for example, I want to fix a small area of an arm, I get a “violates guidelines” message. Apparently, PS assumes that any image of a human body must be pornography. Is there any way to fix this?

Are you giving it a prompt or leaving the prompt box blank? Is this happening frequently, or just on one photo?

You can also give yourself complete creative control by learning how to re-touch photos yourself. This is the tutorial that taught me. Only takes a couple of clicks once you get the hang of it, and can bypass any frustration.

The generative fill just makes it quicker and easier. As always, in PS, there are several other options. Thank you.

N8.

100% PS has many work around options.

This is old school, but I recall getting around this issue at times by entering a . (that’s a period) for the prompt.

“I use generative fill to fix small areas of an image.”

As do I. And I rarely have a problem with skin or have always found a workaround when I do. Do you have Firefly credits so you can make the edits outside of Photoshop?

Make minor adjustments to your selection. For example include more clothing. That usually works for me.

I use generative fill for very small fixes, i.e., a kind of retouching. If, for example, a selection includes a very small area of an arm, it’s much too small to include clothing. But, thank you.
