Question

Ability to add reference image to Generative Fill Missing Now

When I select and area and then Gen Fill comes up, I used to have the ability to add a reference image there, to show Photoshop an example of what I wanted it to fill that area with. Now, with the latest update (26.5) that option seems to be missing. What the hell, Adobe????!

    The reference image icon does not show when I try to use it. When I contacted Adobe they told me that Beta version was discontinued along with the reference image. Please, can someone tell me if this is true or not.??

    No. That's not true. I still have the Beta version and they release updates for it 1-2x per week. And the reference image icon is there again. I guess I just had a glitch or something. But after restarting my PC and opening PS Beta it was there again. I've been using it.

    That interesting, I spoke with two different reps at Adobe and they both told me it no longer is available?? I guess I will have to try it again.

    Thx

    Well, I re-started my Windows 11 PC and then the next time I opened PS it was working again. I can't re-create it now to show you a photo. Glitch, I guess. But seems to be okay now.

    Ok, good. My question was the wrong one anyway. I had so many Firefly web questions yesterday, I did not realise this was Photoshop. lol
