Generative Fill missing from Crop Tool Options in v24.7.0 on Mac OS

Hello, fellow Adobe users and Adobe team,

I wanted to share my recent experience with the Photoshop Beta (v25) update. I was really excited about trying out the new generative fill tool after watching the Bēhance presentations over the weekend.

I did encounter some confusion while trying to update to the new version. Despite diligently pressing the "Check for Updates" button, I wasn't able to access the new version until today. I now see the update available and the crop tool works as expected in v25.

While I understand that software updates can take time to roll out to all users, I would like to suggest that the new version and the showcased tools be made available for download by all customers before they are presented online. This way, users won't get frustrated when they follow the correct steps and still face delays in accessing the new features.

I'm sure Adobe's team works hard to provide the best experience for its customers, and I appreciate their efforts in constantly improving the software. My intention is not to criticize but rather to share my experience in the hope that it might help improve future update processes.

Thank you for considering my feedback, and I hope we can all continue to enjoy using Adobe products in the most efficient and enjoyable way possible.

Have a nice day!

@Trevor.Dennis The new beta has a generative fill feature in the Crop tool. That is what the OP is referring to.

You have the Crop tool selected.  You need to make a selection using any of the various tools Photoshop has to acheive that.  It's easier to use Generative Fill from the Contextual Task Bar.  If that is not showing, go to the bottom or the Window menu and turn it on.

You are on an outdated beta version. Uninstall and install Beta 25.0.
