Im using the generative fill feature the way that the what's new tutorial is telling me how to. I'm basically looking to replace sunglasses with ski goggles. Problem is that it creates the image that I want but it puts it in the small box on top of the original image as shown in the photo. What am I doing wrong and how do I fix it?

I'm getting similar results with gen requests when I use the new build 27.2.0, it is awful. In the past it would fill a gap in between two images and it look exactly like it was always supposed to be there, now I get random images like clouds or posts. I've tried turning off the other layers, I've tried every gen model they offer. Adobe please take a step back, something is broken.

It depends on your prompt. Can you tell us what text you're using?
I've seen tutorials showing the item to be replaced as Selected; other tutorials say to select the entire image.

Which did you try? Maybe you could insert a screenshot into this post of one click prior to the generated result?

I tried selecting just the object as was suggested. my prompt was to "replace sunglasses with Oakley ski goggles in a Rasta colorway"

Thanks for the post. I wouldn't have expected the result. My instincts tell me "in a Rasta Colorway" was misunderstood (much like me; what's a 'colorway'?). Try "replace sunglasses with Oakley ski goggles".
