Question

New Generative Expand too restrictive

Hi,

First of all, quite satisfied with my Adobe products, I am a professional portrait and fashion photographer. With that said, latest Photoshop update seems to have adjusted the censorship to a too restrictive level. I’ll explain, when working with bikini models. lingerie, or anything that shows more skin, even when in good taste ( no gluts showing, or too revealing outfit etc) the Generative Expand just botches the job, no popup warning or nothing, just no generation, and if I switch to regular Firefly, it Generates just fine, so, that tells me is not really my photo not compliant, by deduction, or it simply would not generate, like Generative Expand.  The lack of a warning popup also feels buggy, as it seems that the job just crashed.

Thank you so much for your comments or assistance, and hoping this gets refined for better detection and less restrictive, for those professionals among us working this styles.

    Hi Samee, thank you so much for your response and your welcome! I been a photoshop user probably since its first version :) , although not an active forum participant. I did follow your lead to that thread wit the similar query, but on iPad, no specific response there, only some suggested “workarounds” but not really addressing the actual censorship on the AI generative features. There was a time before the last update just last month that I was enjoying of a good workflow with it, lingerie photography, bikini photography , no issues, but since last update with new generative expand model, the issue has been extremely restrictive, even some fashion editorials with hardly any skin exposed getting censored… Hope there is some answers to this soon, and even better, a solution. Thanks again
