Generative pop-up blocks editing view

When you are using the photoshop, Generative feature how do you move the pop-up instruction box off of the image. It covers 1/3 of the image. You can't see the change to the image until after you save it and then drag the pop-up box off of the image. Often it’s not the results I wanted but could not see the results until after the save. Very poor design.

    Hi @janined73018656,

    Thanks for the screenshot and the additional details. I was able to reproduce what you’re seeing in Photoshop on the web. The AI Markup panel is currently fixed in that position and cannot be dragged to another part of the workspace.

    You can still navigate the canvas behind it by scrolling vertically or horizontally, and you can zoom the canvas as needed to reposition the area you’re working on. However, I understand that this isn’t the same as being able to move or temporarily minimize the panel, especially when you’re trying to evaluate the generated result without having part of the image obscured.

    I’m going to share this feedback with the Photoshop on the web team.

    Thanks for taking the time to report it.

    Best,

    Hi @janined73018656,
     

    Thanks for reporting this. To make sure we’re looking at the exact UI and behavior you’re seeing, could you please share:

    • A short screen recording showing the Generative workflow, including the pop-up covering the image and what happens when you try to move it.

    • Your Photoshop System Info: go to Help > System Info > Copy, then paste it into your reply.
       

    If possible, please also show in the recording whether the pop-up can be dragged to another part of the workspace.
     

    Once we have that, we can better determine what’s happening.
     

    Thanks,
    Anshul Saini

    The pop-up box does not drag or move. It hides most of the image. I have to save and then look at the photo. I am wasting so many of my generative credits plus the time wasted is ridiculous. I am on Windows 11. The Adobe Photoshop is the most current version on the Cloud platform.

    What version of Photoshop and operating system are you using?

     

    You can’t just click and drag on the top part of the “pop-up instruction box” to move it?

     

    Could you post a screenshot of what your seeing?
