After selection is active, I cannot use the generative fill button. It's visible, but greyed out...

Hi, running into same issue. Latest Beta version and correct file type but its still greyed out

[Sara26376684ikpr]

Hello,

Is there a reason that generative fill is locked for people under 18, what purpose does this serve? I was very excited to try out this new feature only to find out that I can't because I'm under 18, why? Will this ever be accessible to minors?

I am also having the same issue.  US user, over 18, running the latest beta version and the regenerative is greyed out

I have installed Adobe Photoshop Beta Version: 24.6.0 20230520.m.2181 4e0245f on my PC with windows 10 PRO operation system. Region germany. But "Generative Fill is now not availabe" is displayed in the tool bar tips.

On youtube you will find this video, which shows this function on apple PC:

What can I do?

[MeredithStotzner]

Hello, for everyone who cannot use Generative Fill because the button is dimmed and the tooltip says "Generative Fill is not currently available.":
Please try deleting preferences then restarting Photoshop.

Reset Photoshop preferences

1. Quit Photoshop.
2. Hold down the following keyboard shortcut and launch Photoshop:
   macOS: command + option + shift

Windows: ctrl + alt + shift

3. Open Photoshop.
Click Yes in the dialog that asks "Delete the Adobe Photoshop Settings file?"

Let us know how that works.
Thank you for your patience!

[ChristopherP]

Sorry, no change to the grayed-out button after resetting Photoshop Beta preferences per your instructions. It's still grayed with the same "not available" tooltip.

[Daniel30023869smlb]

yep, doesnt work. and where can i verify my age? i cant remember where i put my birthdate 

[TheConceptMan]

It didn't work for me either

[Volker5C8C]

Hello Meredith,

it seems to be a chaos in your developement group,  because all the clues are clear and go in the same direction.

It simply does not work.

Please test it again yourself.

[William30026222wpl5]

Having the exact same problem. Grayed out, no generative features work, and no pop-up info appears. I'm middle-aged in the U.S. with a corporate account.

[William30026222wpl5]

Did this. Got the delete settings prompt, said yes. No change.

Same problem on Windows 10, with a RTX 3080 graphics card, in spanish, v24.6, recently installed

[Denis30026117khlk]

I have the same problem. I have read and tried everything here. The version is the right one, deleted all settings with Alt + Ctrl + Shift before starting.
I am based in Germany, am over 18 and have an individual licence. I hope it will work soon. Thank you in advance!

Guys n Gals,

So I just 45 mins ago downloaded the beta for the first time (You would think this means its the most up to date) BUT I also did not even get anything that said generative fill.

I read this whole thread and then did this and now its working fine.

Opened my Adobe CC Desktop app

Clicked the menu in the upper left

Clicked Help > Check for updates

Sure enough it showed an update for Photoshop Beta

Everything works fine now.  The AI is not so great at making UFOs but it made me a decent flamingo haha

Side note.  Photoshop Beta runs WAYYYY faster than the normal most up to date photoshop.

For some reason, Photoshop is barely usable on my brand new rig but Beta runs super fast

Hello,
Thank you for your patience and for having the fortitude to try beta software!
We are not able to reproduce this issue inside our firewall.
I'll be reaching out to a few of you directly requesting additional information.
We appreciate everyone who has taken the time to let us know about the problem.
Thank you,
Meredith

@HLProductions:

In which country do you live?

Which operating system do you use?

For me and all other users this version of photoshop CC Beta does not work.

[Ictcmn]

I have installed the latest beta version of Photoshop and when I opened it it mentioned Generative Fill but that option is missing from the context box when I make a selection, and it is not under Edit. When I look at the beta features it mentions other things like context aware multi image fill. Why is Generative Fill missing? When I first opened the beta it gave me a pop up to do with generateive fill even - but I don't seem to see anyone having a similar issue?

I have version 24.6 installed which says it is the latest version. I'm on Windows.

Hello my friends,

I have the same problem. Feel free to reach out to me if you'd like. I also removed the built in macOS firewall to try. I have a student discount account, so I hope that is not the issue.

I have the same issue.  No answers yet.  Following this thread.

[Joshua27072090eamh]

still not working after taking these steps

[cyc76079761]

Hi. I've updated Photoshop Beta and confirmed I have the correct version, 24.6 m.2181.

I make a selection with my selection tool and the generative fill bar appears, however the button is greyed out.

When I hover over the button I get a message tag stating "Generative fill is currently not available". 

My layer is rasterized and unlocked, so I'm not sure why this feature isn't working.
