P: Generate Fill - Box Greyed Out

[DaveClement-Wales]

I have loaded the latest Photoshop (Beta) 24.6.0, version and have tried to use the new "Generate Fill" feature. I have tried various files on two different computers (Dell and ASUS)  and the "Generate Fill" box remains greyed out. I have checked the box in the Preferences >Plugins screen "Enable Generator", I have trieed PSD and Tiff files, I have tried 8bit and 16bit files, I have tried small resolution images. I have booted and rebooted the computers. But no matter what I do, I can't change the "Generate Fill" box to allow any input.

Is there another setting I need to change ?

Thanks

Dave

Why is the Generative Fill button greyed out?

If you find that Generative Fill is greyed out for you, it is possible that you may not have a valid Date of Birth associated with your Adobe ID account. To update your Date of Birth, you can do any of the following:

• Log into Behance with your Adobe ID and enter your Date of Birth.
• Log into your Adobe account and enter your Date of Birth. To learn more, see Error: "Not eligible to use Creative Cloud services".

Once your Date of Birth is up to date, relaunch the Photoshop (beta) app to enable Generative Fill.

I have done all of that, changed my DOB, uninstalled my first version of Beta23, I now have Version 24.6 m 2185 and then I rebooted my computer and STILL have Gereative Fill greyed out. I am about to jump from my 17th story window, in frustration!!!!

Try changing your document from CMYK to RGB for it to be available.

For others who find this thread: 

Make sure you are not trying to use Generative Fill while having a layer selected that is clipped to a clipping mask. Adobe has not added this behavior to their FAQ on Generative Fill, nor addressed it in replies. Trying to use Generative Fill on a clipped layer is always greyed out, a repeatable behavior.

I typically get around this by creating a layer above the layer i want to use generative fill on and then clip the generated layer after, or unclip the layer i am generating from and clip them both later.

The team is working on this, thanks all for your feedback.

A work around is to select a layer above, or create a new layer above to allow Gen to run.
