Dream Bigger with Generative Fill - now in the Photoshop (beta) app 

 

This under-construction, revolutionary new AI-powered Generative Fill allows you to create/generate new content in your image or remove objects like never before!

The process is simple: make a selection – any selection, then tell Photoshop exactly what you want placed there. The GenAI models will return an object or scene you described. You can:
 

Generate objects: Select an area in your image, then describe what you’d like to add.

 

Generate backgrounds: Select the background behind your subject, then generate a new scene from a text prompt.

 

Extend images: Expand the canvas of your image, then make a selection of the empty region. Generating without a prompt will create a seamless extension of your scene.

 

Remove: Select the area you want to remove, then let the GenAI technology make it disappear.

 

And more… Generative fill is incredibly versatile. Discover new ways to use this powerful feature.

Helpful Tips

  • Use simple language
    Leave out commands like “add” or “remove” - Example: asking to "remove the red boat" will generate more red boats.
    Try using 3-8 words to describe what you want to see.
    Include a subject with descriptive language.. Example: A red barn in a field of flowers.
  • Select part of the original image when extending 
    Make sure you select part of the image along with the empty part of the canvas. This will give a better result that will blend in with the rest of your image.

Try entering a basic prompt. We are seeing a high volume of failures for GF without prompts.

When will the Generative Fill feature be available in China and other regions, it's very important for designers, thanks!

Generative Fill eats a ton of storage while in use. I'm noticing a drop of about 20GB of storage while playing with the tool and testing its capabilites. My prompts aren't super complicated either. "The Efifel tower lawn, with the Eiffel tower centered in the background"

Instantly regained 10GB of storage when I closed Photoshop Beta.

16bit only! Is 32bit planned for HDR content? Thanks

It really needed to work with 32bit ref frames from After Effects.

In there a way to turn off anti-aliasing for the Generative Fill option (in the Beta)? The test case is something like pixel art where you want fairly clean pixels. 

Example image: On the left is the image with clean pixels. On the right is a sample of Generative Fill.

 

Any thoughts to generate non aliased results?

Try adding "Pixel art" or "Pixels" as your prompt and let us know how that goes!

It appears that Generative Fill AI is overly aggressive, in some cases, to what it determines to be in breach of Adobe Generative AI Beta User Guidelines. For example, people wearing swimwear or activewear. Hopefully this is addressed before it is rolled out to current version of PS 2023

Same here. It's a tad aggressive at times, when attempting to hide an arm or hand. Sometimes even on random objects. It's especially irritating that the warming states the result "is a violation of your agreement." I'm not the one in violation. It's the bot. 🙂

Looking for a way to save generative fill layers so that I can keep the background consistent throughout my photos.

If you make the generative fill with your background as a separate layer, then you can copy the layers to another document. Or flatten and copy, if you don't think you will need to change it. Of course, I haven't tested this, but it's a start.

Did find a solution to the inactive (grey) button, check comment in the relevant thread: Re: P: Generative Fill Button greyed out

After a quick play with extending images using generative fill I have found that the extra fill is significantly lower quality than the original image.

 

I have been testing it on fairly high resolution images (8000 x 8000px) and while the extended area is sometimes quite good (but also sometimes comically bad!) it can't be used as it is nowhere near sharp enough to match the original image. See the attached image where the top half is the original image and the bottom half the generative fill extension.

 

Maybe I'm just expecting too much of it. Are other people noticing this?

Yes I am getting the same results. Probably because it's still in beta
