The ability to correct converging verticals has disappeared from Photoshop and RAW. How do I get it back?

Your question seems not to be related to this thread.

However, in Camera Raw you will find the tools you seek within the Crop Panel:

Generative expand result mostly unusable, terrible resolution, sometimes look artefact and not match with the surrounding. Better to delete and using other method of generative, something you have options and many times better quality

First, the tool needs to be smoother around the edges, you can see clearly where de original image ended and where the "patch" begins. Secondly, it should respect the modifications made previously, such as noise, or in my case, I noticed that a patch I had applied, was skipped, without considering it, giving an extremely horrible result.

It would be great if the tool could refer to what is present in adjacent images in the set in its result or if it could be told "like this" (like in Photoshop), for example, so that the interface would allow you to select from adjacent images and highlight the relevent area. For example, in an image where my son's shoes were cut out and in the previous images in the burst were not cut out, because he ran out of frame - it would be great if I could get the same type of shoes on the first try.

The generative expansion was so bad that it was laughable! instead of expanding the background, it started creating frames and random weird patterns in mono colours. Wild Imagination 100%, accuracy and usefullness 0%!

In ACR I had to regenerate because I then denoised. I don't like what it regenerated. The "Generate" button is grayed out and it's not giving me 3 choices any more. How do I regen?
