I'm having diffiiculty using Generative fill to create a filtered effect on a photo. I want to make my photo look like a pencil drawing and everytime I apply the genrative fill it looks nothing like the prompt and does not apply to the photo. It doesnt matter what the prompt is. I can type in pencil drawing, oil painting, watercolor, etc. and I get the same blue abstract image.  I follow the following steps to use generative fill

1. select photo layer

2. Enter quick mask mode

3. Edit->Fill->Contents color-> set H=0, S=0, B=40, #676767

4.Exit quick mask

5. Enter prompt into generative fill

Weirdly I'm getting pretty much the exact same abstract image when I've tried that process. The neural filter/stylize options as suggested below don't have enough control whereas this process used to work perfectly. I wonder what has changed?

Which exact Photoshop version are you using?

I would add that if you'd like to make it look like an oil painting, you could use the Oil Paint filter (Filter > Stylize > Oil Paint...).

If you'd like to make your content appear appear as a pencil drawing, oil painting, or watercolor style, I'd recommend using the Style Transfer Neural Filter instead.

  1. Select the layer
  2. Go to Filter > Neural Filters
  3. In the Neural Filters panel that opens, toggle on Style Transfer (you may need to download it first if the toggle isn't appearing)
  4. Find a Preset to select and adjust the sliders. You could also use the Custom tab and upload a style reference image.

I am more concerned that it the generative fill does not appear to be applying itself to my image at all. I am looking to experiment with that specific tool a bit but am wondering if I am doing something wrong. I've followed several tutorials similar to this one and am unable to achieve desired results at all.
