Generative Fill Blocking Everything - Any Workarounds to Help?

[lilCystar]

Hi All,

I've tried dozens of ways to add new eyes to a male ballet dancer's face with generative fill and no matter what I try a message pops up telling me I am violating the guidelines. I'm at my wits end. I'll list what I've tried below and upload some images. 

Does anybody have a 'workaround' or solution I haven't already tried?

I'd really appreciate any input! Thanks so much!

         Things I've Attempted to Stop Generative Fill from blocking Results:

• Updating Photoshop Beta
• Cleaning all temporary files and cookies from my drive and restaring both my laptop and PSBeta
• Making my selection area smaller
• Putting a period in the prompt box
• Blacking out/covering almost all the bare skin in the image before using Gen Fill
• Using several prompt wordings: 'The eyes of the man' 'The eyes of the model' 'The model's eyes and eyebrows' Etc.
• Using 3 different reference images
• Using no reference image
• Using a reference image and no prompt
• Using a prompt and no reference image (bulging deformed twisty eyes, nothing remotely useable)
• Using nothing at all, no prompt or image (terrible weird fills that were not eyes at all)
• Trying to Gen Fill in an entirely new face with several different reference images

I'm at the point where I think pasting a whole seperate face image over top of the original and then blending it in, and giving it textures to match the rest of the photo, is going to be necessary, but, this will never look as natural as a good Gen Fill...

(I've completed another photo in this set of a female ballerina and used Gen Fill to replace her whole face/hair with new ones using a reference image and had no problem at all... I even added more to her dress right over her cleavage and covered her pelvic area with more tutu fabric ... thus selecting bare chest skin and her pelvic area ... and this still worked....)

Would love to hear there is a way to do this when Gen Fill is 'in a mood' to block everything. 😞

Appreciate any replies!

PS. The screenshot of my workspace showing the 'error message' was created for showing her and accidentally done on a text layer. None of my previous attempts were done on a text layer...

I hope to see an answer to your question. I have had a similar experience recently with adding ao a pirate project and was told it was a violation as well. it wasn't anything inappropriate or in violation. What I received were so clownish and off the mark? (Best way to discribe the vectors I generated) I just deleted the results. ... I tried several senarios as well, changing the request several ways. With similar or worse results.

I just ended up just creating it myself. I prefer my own work but sometimes it is helpful to use this new tool for my mock ups.  

Following. Maybe the latest update setting were adjusted to far in the programming.

Hey there,

When you say you just ended up creating what you needed yourself I can relate. I've done this too. Good thing for 'traditional' image editing practices. But, this can take a lot of time to do well. Real shame that Adobe is letting this rather outlandish censoring problem persist for such a long time. (And I say outlandish, as I've had requests for:  "a white cloud", "ocean water", "a throw pillow", and nearly everything else innocuous and mundane you could imagine, be blocked)  Sure they know we're not happy. Can't imagine why they don't fix it/relax it. Let's see if we are lucky enough to learn something in this thread. Cheers. 🙂

Its absolutely ironic and incoherent that we're being blocked from using the tool, I work in beauty industry and whenever I try the use the feature the advertise the most in social media IT DOES NOT WORK,  however, surprisingly, other people use this tool to spread negative and hateful thoughs on anonymous forums and Adobe does NOTHING. I'm tired of this oh my god.

I've usually managed to bypass the censoring using the same blacking out trick.  I am wondering how you are doing that.  Is it with a layer mask?  You need the contentious area to be fully removed from the select layer, and to be safe, other layers that include that skin to be turned off.

Thanks for your reply!

I'm afraid all I did to 'black out' the man's bare chest and arms was cover it with black 'paint' in the layer below my new blank layer I was generating (or attempting to generate) on.

1) You are saying I should use a layer mask to black out the offending areas? On which layer - the one I have selected when attempting to use Gen Fill?

2) You mean to say I should make all layers below the current one 'not visable'? (I need one layer of picture below the one I'm on when using Gen Fill so it has something to blend into...)

So... would selecting only the area I want to Gen Fill on top of, (in this case just the man's head, bit of his neck and a bit of sky around his head),  and then copying and pasting it ontoa layer above the rest, then making this my current layer, as well as making all layers below my current layer 'not visable', before running gen Fill, be a good solution?

Thanks for your help, appreciate it! 🙂
