P: Fill in empty areas in transformed or cropped/rotated image

Particularly with architectural images it is useful to transform the image to make building edges vertical or horizontal. This leaves the image in an odd shape with missing corners that need to be cropped - or perhaps small corners that could be patched up with the clone tool. However, the clone tool does not work in this case because these areas are outside of the original image.

Why can't Lightroom fill in these blank areas with some added pixels so that this subsequent editing can be done within LR?

I'd like to suggest a new feature for Lightroom: generative fill and regular content-aware fill for areas that get cropped out during composition adjustments. This could be very helpful when reframing an image and losing important parts near the edges. Now they just remain white and you can choose them.

Hey, @dim1ko. Welcome to the Lightroom Community. To add a few things.

While this is not possible in Lightroom on Android, Photoshop on Android may arrive later this year to help you fill these gaps with Generative AI and unlock the potential for editing on Mobile. I tried this on iOS, and it worked better than expected.

I hope this helps.

It would be great to have the option to AI fill in blank areas created when you use the Geometry adjustments.

This is already somewhat implemented in the Panorama merge as an option "Fill edges", although it doesn't use AI.

Check out the Generative Expand Tech Preview in Camera Raw for early access to this feature.

@F1XX It's early days for the feature testing in ACR, so it's not in Lightroom yet, but potentially, yes.

New feature: "Adobe is adding a Firefly-powered Generative Expand mode to ACR, which will use AI to fill in past the borders of your image. The mode will be available as a technical preview."

Would this mean generative fill for white corners would be available in LR? (Though normal context aware fill would be enough, no need for generative.)

@F1XX Don't worry, it's the right spot. The code would come from the Camera Raw team and then filter down into all of the Lightroom teams.

I wonder why this post was moved to CameraRaw as it is very much about Lightroom feature... anyway, I hope devs notice this and the feature is really needed.

Panorama Merge has very handy "Fill" feature which calculates quite nicely content aware fill to areas that are not covered in original shots.

PLEASE add same feature to Tranform panel! I routinely do perspective correction and straightening with that panel and while option to "Constrain Crop" is generally the way to go, I find myself way too often widening the crop and exporting the photo to Photoshop to clone resulting white areas with appropriate fill.

Doing that fill right in the Transform panel would be a real timesaver.

It should not be too difficult to implement as functionality is already available in Merge function.

Thank You!

(Attached example image may be a bit extreme. By the way, upper part is cut when vertical transform is applied, it would be nice if it were recoveralble with crop function.)

Platform: LRC 12, Camera Raw 15, Windows 11 - all up to date.

When straightening an image using the Transform tools, esp. rotate, often some regions with "empty" pixels appear near one or more corners (due to creation of new "canvas" outside of the original image). The bug is that these empty pixels cannot be filled using the healing or clone brush. These areas are also excluded in any of the masking tools I have tried. These areas simply appear to be off-limits to LRC!? It seems like they are on a separate layer - which I cannot access. All I can do is to crop them out, which may remove part of the image I want to keep. Alternatively, I have to create a copy of the image that I process in PS where it is easy to get around this. I can think of no benefit for this cumbersome behavior. Please fix!

Why is this valuable to me.

* It saves time and disk space compared to performing the fill on a copy of the image in Photoshop.

Thanks, Adriaan

Adobe considers this behavior "as-designed" -- it's working as they intended. I'm pretty sure there was an old feature request to allow those white areas to be edited, but I can't find it.

Lightroom supports content aware fill in white border areas after panorama stitching. It would be very helpful to have the same technology also for filling white areas after transforming images with the geometry tools to fill white areas at the image borders (and therefore make them also available for editing (clone tool...))
