Question

Generative fill get worse and worse

Hello. Is it just my impression or are the images generated by both Adobe Firefly and Generative Fill in Photoshop really so pathetic and of poor quality that they cannot be used? In Photoshop you can't even change clothes using generative fill and if you can, it's far from what you wanted. The generated images are much worse than the initial Beta version of Photoshop.

it’s pretty much only good for tik tok level video, and feel like that is adobe’s target audience now.

Please read this (in particular the section titled "Supply pertinent information for more timely and effective answers”):

»is getting worse and worse« seems like a fairly useless description, please give meaningful examples and post screenshots to illustrate.

Generative fill is not replicating the texture or resolution of the original. Attached is a 100% image of relatively calm water. Other attempts have included foliage from other parts of the image, what appears to be land, and other unidentifiable artifacts-- even in areas that were not in the selected region.

I agree. The Beta version was so much better. Generative fill is becoming useless to me. And now we have a generative credit cap started a couple weeks ago. Since that became a thing. I haven't produced one generative fill I could use. Wasted credits. Too bad, it was excellent last Fall.

It's not fair to charge for something that doesn't work properly. Wasting credits just because you hope that one time you will get the desired effect is nonsense. Additionally, Adobe spying on customers is total nonsense and disrespect for the customer!!

All the issues appear in main Photoshop not in a Beta version so im not sure why its moved to Photoshop Beta. Whoever use main version of Photoshop can have same issue.

@Pawel287536848jwq  Thank you for reaching out and starting a discussion on the community. As a standard practice, we usually ask for visual examples of what you're encountering, such as screenshots, videos, or files. Thank you, @Monika Gause for requesting this. 

I will share the image you provided with the team, but I need more context. 

  1. Was this done in Photoshop or Firefly? 
  2. What was your prompt? 
  3. What makes the results poor quality? 

 

In Firefly we also have a mechanism to share feedback directly by clicking on the three dots of the generated image.

Thank you for respond.

1. It was done in Photoshop updated to latest version, 25.2

2.My prompt was simple same as before. Just using quick selection tool of the area to be changed (suit ) and state " white suit, yellow suit"

3. This question is a bit odd. Is like when you go to doctor and doctor asking you about case of your illnes.

I got new 3 examples. Photo from Freepik website of man wear suit.

Number 1 is a breaching most rules from Adobe !! Adobe implement guidelines for prompts and when my prompt was "white suit" i got this. In this case, Adobe is insulting me, so who is breaching guidelines !!!

Oh, thank you very much. This is a community forum with 95% of people being not even staff.

 

Examples about visual things need to be seen.
