There has to be a way to loosen the restrictions on generative fill and Firefly, working with bikini and lingerie images makes using it impossible. as soon as i select some skin photoshop is suddenly a conservative dad.
I just want to replace the models leg and generative AI can help in seconds but forces me to suffer for 15 minutes of manipulation and colour grading like a chump using Adobe CS6.
TLDR: Adobe please let us use AI on skin and blonde hair.
Sorry for bringing up an old post, but I found this post when looking for something else and I had a solution. I also have had some similar issues that you did. Generative expand or fill would not work on the edge of an image to extend a solid white background, yet I could generative fill skin to fix blemishes in the bikini line area on the same image - didn't make any sense to me. I finally figured out a work around.
If you're trying to generate something that is on the background or not your subject showing skin, just select subject, and then content aware fill on a new layer. Keep working, then hide that layer and it works just fine.
If you're trying to generate something ON the subject, draw a selection around most of the person that is not the area you're working on and also content aware fill on a new layer. For example if you're working on a leg, get rid of the upper half of the person and it seems to work just fine.
I've also found it can be picky when it comes to things that are close to skin colored (like wooden cabinets). In that case, I put a hue/saturation layer above the layer I'm working on and change the color slightly, do your fill and then delete the layer. You may have to tweak the generative layer a little bit to get the colors to match, but that seems easier than going old school with the clone stamp.
