Been doing a few projects using AIGF and its a great tool thats saves a lot of time

I'd like to share some feedback coming from my expereinces with AIGF.

  • It would be a great feature that we can new object in the same style as previously generated object. For example: I ask for a tree. AIGF generates one that i like, now i want the same tree as a variation on a different location on my image. At the moment if i use the same input text AIGF would generate random trees, nothing like the one liked and kept in a previous generation. it would be good to have a check box or something to ask AIGF to create the same look and feel of a previous entry. This way we have more controle over the output we are looking for and we have to do less generates before we get to what we need. Maybe a way to get this done is that when selecting a previous generated variation, or even multiple, AI tries to redo the same as it has done on those variations 🙂
  • The sharpness of the generated parts , even within a 1024x1024 selection, is very blurry most of the time. Some improvement here would be great.
  • i would like the delete button more easy accesable. Maybe: right click, visible X to remove directly, etc..
  • also the poor/good should help AIGF to learn to create variations im looking for. If i say Good several times AI should getting a clearer idea of what im looking for. And the variations should improve
  • It would be super if  AIGF would able to blend a cut out image, for example a person, into its environment inclusive color adjustments and pixelation. Just by asking blend...

 

Thats it for my feedback 🙂 eager to see what AIGF will be able to do when it grows up...

Hoy al intentar usar generative fill, me sale esto: no se ha podido generar el mensaje por problemas de conexión, compruebe su conexión y vuelva a intentar, la cosa es que si tengo internet y lo probé en varios wifis y aún pasa

Working on anything over 1500px in size crashes when I use a blank generative fill for background extensions. 1500px is useless to anyone doing this work for a living, so the tool is next to useless in that regard. I did see a workaround which was to use 1024sqr blocks one at a time on a high res canvas, but that too now crashes photoshop in the latest beta. 

 

I cant see how this is of any use while it cant work at any resolution that would be printed, or needed high res.

Testing prompts for generative fill with areas selected, (circles, squares etc.) Is there any discussion about a window or library to save a collection of successful prompts in text form at least? Going through a trial and error process is quite tedious and frustrating when the prompt text is deleted after use from the genrative bar. Also a way to share prompts that work well, directly with others via Photoshop Library type conduit or cloud. (This seems to be a no brainer.) If I'm missing something my apologies, but I don't see these things anywhere currently. One last: Is there a great prompt sharing area on Adobe.com?

Thanks,

Yes I have.  Really handy in some situations but, like many Photoshop features, it is not the solution to every situation.  I use it but use Fill/Content Aware just as often.

It's quite difficult to take Photoshop's request for Beta feedback seriously when you delete the feedback we give you. 

 

So let me reiterate:

 

The generative fill is an interesting feature but lacks satisfactory resolution (results don't match the resolution of the original image) and the user guideline filter is so extremely sensitive that it makes the feature almost unusable. See examples above. 

 

Secondly, and this is a more important issue, it's a problem that Photoshop even has user guidelines. It amounts to hardcoded censorship, much like if a word processor like Microsoft Word or Apple Pages refused to let you type swear words. It shouldn't be Adobe's business what people use their software for. Photoshop is mainly a photo editing application, but with the current user guidlines for Generative Fill, there's no way anyone editing photos or artwork containing nudity or even partial nudity, or - as is evident from the examples above - anything the AI misconstrues as nudity can use the feature with the current filter in place. 

 

Humanity has depicted nudity in art since (as far as we currently know) the Upper Paleolithic, between 40,000 to 35,000 years ago

 

To further continue the history lesson, the Puritan Era was over by 1740, but that doesn't seem to have dawned on Adobe yet. Photoshop is an art tool, not an art critic. It's a tool we pay for. You don't get to say what we use it for any more than a car manufacturer gets to say where we can go in their cars.

 

Basically, don't put your nose in other people's business.

 

This feedback has been copied and saved for next time you censor it. That seems to be what you're into these days after all.

It's not even nudity. It wouldnt let me add a knife to an image. Not only is the feature useless, censorship, especially noncontextual censorship makes me angry. Not only do I now hate the AI feature, I'm starting to not like even Photoshop as much. Wonder what else is Adobe tracking.

It is deeply disturbing that they're making Photoshop opinionated - in any shape or form! I posted an image above of what the filter wouldn't allow me to do. That example also didn't contain any nudity. But it's clear the feature is designed to censor/prevent Generative Fill from being used for whatever Adobe deems unsavory - whoever decides what that might be. As it is now, in its Beta form, it's obviously not working as intended. It applies the filter completely arbitrarily because the AI isn't trained well enough. But that negates the bigger issue here: Should Photoshop lay down guidlines in the first place? Should it hand over to an AI the power to decide what Photoshop users can or can't use Photoshop for? 

 

That, in my opinion, is a major slippery slope! Imagine if Winsor and Newton had rules for what you could use their oil paints for! It's an absurd idea, but that's basically what Adobe is doing with the guideline filter.

Talk about a huge letdown. This is a poorly executed, overhyped feature. I hope you guys either fix it quick or move on to something else. Such a let down!
