Does anyone know when the feature "Generative expand" (or as the guy at the keynote calls it, "Vector expand") is coming to Illustrator? Seen at 01:01:00 in the keynote video here: https://www.adobe.com/uk/max-london.html

 

I've just installed Illustrator 2025 and 2025 beta and can't find it.

Nobody will be able to tell you whether that feature will come or when it comes.

If you want to know ahead of of time about features that are in the working and want to help shape them and clear the bugs, you could apply for prerelease.

Well, I must confess that I didn't watch the whole keynote, but it is presented as it is already implemented or at least just around the corner. And the keynote was half a year ago. Why even bother to demonstrate features that might not be implemented att all, or lays far in the future, one can't help but wonder.

What you can do: 

Make a screenshot of the vector illustration.

Open the screenshot in Photoshop

Use generative expand (Photoshop can do that)

Copy it back into Illustrator and autotrace.

 

Basically that is what's happening behind the curtain anyway, because generative AI is inherently pixel based.


Darn, that is a great idea! Why didn't I think of that? Maybe cause I'm an explorer and not an expert yet. 😅 I'll try it immediately. Big Thanks!
