Generative Fill in Photoshop Beta

[MeredithStotzner]

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!
  Check out the Adobe Firefly Gallery to see what others have created with Adobe Firefly and Generative Fill. Click on an image to see the prompt that was used.

Thank you @MeredithStotzner for posting this. As its not clear that just downloading Photoshop (Beta) is not enough. One has to "update" it immediately as well 😛 to be able to access Generative Fill 🙂

When using the new Generative Fill option in Photoshop Beta, it would be very handy if the layer name of the newly generated layer would be the text prompt (if a prompt is used). It can stay, "Generative Layer x" if there's no prompt associated with it.

If the concern is that the layer name might be too long, perhaps just use the main noun? For example, I just generated "a wrought iron birdbath" - having the layer name be "Birdbath" would be wonderful!

[CoryShubert]

Hi @Szalam great idea.  Currently your prompts are stored with each image thumbnail in your properties pannel for reference.

Happy to pass on your idea to the team for consideration.

[Yukie Takahashi]

@Szalam Thanks for your feedback. We received multiple requests on layer naming from the prompt text. The team is investigating.

Soooo.... are all of these Ai Generative images going to be from Royalty Free sources?!
This may open/close a can of worms for our legal department!

[Pete.Green]

Hi @paultech, more info how the Firefly models were generated can be found in the FAQ

[paultech]

Thank you for your assistance, Pete. Also, I have received unsatisfactory results in the form of crude and cartoonish images that bear little resemblance to the high-quality photos depicted in Adobe's demonstrations. Is there an setting that is lacking, or is it simply a result of this being a beta version?

I'm not sure if this is really a bug, but it's an issue so I'm sending feedback. I generated a picture of Labrador Reteriver puppies twice using the Generate Fill. The first time one puppy had 3 tongues. The 2nd time one puppy had 2 tails! I'm using Photoshop Beta 24.6.0 on Mac OS Ventura 13.3.1. Sending a screenshot of the puppy with 2 tails.

Mine isn't showing up at all and I'm connected to the internet....what am I doing wrong? See attached. 

[Mustafa21949935pvid]

same here. it is very confusing

[Pete.Green]

@vampirejaku  Make sure to "Check for Updates" in the Updates tab of CC Desktop. You'll want version m.2181 in Ps beta's Help > System Info.

[vampirejaku]

It worked! Yay! I'm so happy! Thank you so much!

[egstl]

Even after updating my Beta version, the Generative Fill prompt doesn't show. I uninstalled the software and reinstalled, and still nothing. Any ideas on how to fix that?

[Pete.Green]

@egstl  Make sure to "Check for Updates" in the Updates tab of CC Desktop. You'll want version m.2181 in Ps beta's Help > System Info.

[egstl]

That fixed it for me, Pete....thank you very much!

[braydonrussell]

I cannot for the life of me find the 24.6 update no matter how many times I refresh for updates. still 24.5. Please help

[Pete.Green]

@braydonrussell , Make sure you're looking in the Beta Apps section of Creative Cloud desktop. It sounds like you're looking at the non-beta version of Photoshop

[defaultq93mmphbeqq2]

im 100% checked for updates and 100% in the beta area, any other tips?

[Pete.Green]

Next tip would be to make sure you're opening the Beta and not the release Photoshop. Beta has the White and Blue Ps icon, whereas the Release version is Dark blue.

[defaultq93mmphbeqq2]

Yep im definitley opening the beta, the problem seems to be creative cloud is not offering an update past 24.5 for lots of people

[Ike29892043ha03]

Still haven't heard any solution from Adobe other than "Check for Updates." That's been a dead end for me for days. Oh well. Guess I'll have to wait for the release version

[alessiof81668978]

Same problem. I have the BETA installed, latest available, but the tool is not available.
