Question

Gen Fill is shrinking subject with exact prompts; didn't used to do this

Generative Fill had been working great, but in the past month, even simple but complete prompts generate the image correctly except it renders the image shrinked in width and height. I use Firefly for more complex prompts and never have a problem, other than the need to improve my prompt😉 I have Windows 11 OS, use Photoshop Beta most of the time, keep all of my Creative Pro apps updated, this gen fill issue happens in both Beta and Photoshop.  I’ve included an example.  Any and all help will be greatly appreciated

    Hi ​@twistedquilter, thanks for reaching out and welcome to the Photoshop Community Forums! Let’s try a few things to see if we can get your Generative back to expected results. 

    1.  Resetting Photoshop Preferences: Can you try to reset the preferences of Photoshop using the steps mentioned here:  https://adobe.ly/4jmvs7u. Please back up your settings before resetting the preferences. You can check:  https://adobe.ly/3YW1WOu
    2. Try reworking your prompts. Shorter prompts may yield better results in terms of size.
    3. Reinstall Ps or Ps Beta using the Adobe Cleaner tool: https://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/apps/troubleshoot/diagnostics-repair-tools/run-creative-cloud-cleaner-tool.html

    If none of these steps work for you, we can continue to troubleshoot the issue. I hope this helps! ^CH

      Hi ​@Claire H., I think our posts overlapped. I got the same result, so I think we need more testing to see how extensive this issue is. I’m trying other models and different prompts as well.

        Hi ​@twistedquilter, that’s a strange result. And I got the same thing with this free image from Unsplash! This shouldn’t be happening as far as I can tell. I used Gemini 3 and haven’t tested it with all models.
