Dream Bigger with Generative Fill - now in the Photoshop (beta) app 

 

This under-construction, revolutionary new AI-powered Generative Fill allows you to create/generate new content in your image or remove objects like never before!

The process is simple: make a selection – any selection, then tell Photoshop exactly what you want placed there. The GenAI models will return an object or scene you described. You can:
 

Generate objects: Select an area in your image, then describe what you’d like to add.

 

Generate backgrounds: Select the background behind your subject, then generate a new scene from a text prompt.

 

Extend images: Expand the canvas of your image, then make a selection of the empty region. Generating without a prompt will create a seamless extension of your scene.

 

Remove: Select the area you want to remove, then let the GenAI technology make it disappear.

 

And more… Generative fill is incredibly versatile. Discover new ways to use this powerful feature.

Helpful Tips

  • Use simple language
    Leave out commands like “add” or “remove” - Example: asking to "remove the red boat" will generate more red boats.
    Try using 3-8 words to describe what you want to see.
    Include a subject with descriptive language.. Example: A red barn in a field of flowers.
  • Select part of the original image when extending 
    Make sure you select part of the image along with the empty part of the canvas. This will give a better result that will blend in with the rest of your image.
  • Get inspired and inspire others
    Share what you create with the beta community!

Try entering a basic prompt. We are seeing a high volume of failures for GF without prompts.

how to save generative fill layers so that we can keep the background consistent throughout photos? Why can you only do one photo at a time? Everytime it makes a different background.. quite frustrating

So I've read over the User Guidelines for using genrative fill, and I have no issues with it, but is anyone else having issues with false User Guideline violations? For instance I'm working on a black and white photo from a recent shoot I did, and I wanted to extend a wooden fence out further in the frame to fix an aspect ration issue. Now I can do something like this easily on my own, but since this is (Beta) I want to play with generative fill as much as I can. The problem I'm hitting is that it keeps telling me the generated fill violates user guidelines. I don't want to get shut down over trying to clone a wooden fence, ya know? Is anyone else having an issue with this? 

Photo attached for context.

Sometimes the results are so amazing they absolutely blow my mind. Other times it produces some bizarre, nightmarish stuff. I've used "cloud" as a prompt before, and the results were beautiful and very believeable. This time, however, it just went nutty. The AI haaaated this picture. I'm thinking maybe it was the small plane to the right of the tall building that set it off in this creepy direction?

Problem: When I try to use Generative Fill in 24.6.0 to remove a person from a photo, I create a loose selection with the lasso tool around that person and then do the generative fill without any input text. Instead of removing the person, it replaces the person with some other random person. I have also tried using the word 'remove' in the text box, but it only works some times. Any ideas?

question tho, will this when it comes out of beta, be free , as in included in our current payment plan, or will it charge extra/the need of a more expensive creative cloud package?

The Generate tool is great, better than the content aware tool for sure.  Great for opaque objects. 
Is there any way to generate reflections on reflective objects eg, reflect the image environment on the body of a metalic car body, or reflect the environment on a glass object eg. a semi transparent glass jar?

I am hoping the Generate tool will eventually help produce product images for online Ad Set content.
Currently I am testing using a basic image of a jar candle, but not getting good results.

In fact you you might like to watch all of his GF videos because he shows a bunch of tips for making use of GF in ways you might not think of without his help.

hi , Can we just adjust the lighting on the photos by generative fill options ?

The thing that should be corrected is the issue of rules - if we try to use a generative fill in a photo with a person in underwear or with a larger area of ​​uncovered body - e.g. we want to expand the background, or add a cut off foot when cropping the photo, a message about violation of the rules appears. I understand the assumption, but it is not always the case that a larger area of ​​​​exposed body is er...otic. I say this as someone who works in the underwear and sportswear industry for young women - this option would save us a lot of photo shoots, but it is not usable by the rules. Overall an absolutely brilliant feature!
