Generative Fill missing from Crop Tool Options in v24.7.0 on Mac OS

Hello

 

I have installed Ps (Beta) 24.7.0 on Mac OS 12.6.7 Monterey. My system meets or exceeds all requirements to use Ps and I am over 18 years of age.

I have watched videos that explain that I can choose Generative Fill for the fill options. However, on my system, that does not appear. I have forced Creative Cloud to "Check for Updates" and none appear.

Can someone please help me understand what I must do to try this new feature?

Thank you in advance.

    @Rick Adams curious if you update to the latest Ps beta: Adobe Photoshop Version: 25.0.0 20230727.m.2257 47ac892 x64

    do you still have this issue?

    Hello, fellow Adobe users and Adobe team,

     

    I wanted to share my recent experience with the Photoshop Beta (v25) update. I was really excited about trying out the new generative fill tool after watching the Bēhance presentations over the weekend.

     

    I did encounter some confusion while trying to update to the new version. Despite diligently pressing the "Check for Updates" button, I wasn't able to access the new version until today. I now see the update available and the crop tool works as expected in v25.

     

    While I understand that software updates can take time to roll out to all users, I would like to suggest that the new version and the showcased tools be made available for download by all customers before they are presented online. This way, users won't get frustrated when they follow the correct steps and still face delays in accessing the new features.

     

    I'm sure Adobe's team works hard to provide the best experience for its customers, and I appreciate their efforts in constantly improving the software. My intention is not to criticize but rather to share my experience in the hope that it might help improve future update processes.

     

    Thank you for considering my feedback, and I hope we can all continue to enjoy using Adobe products in the most efficient and enjoyable way possible.

     

    Have a nice day!

      Generative fill is still missing. A few weeks ago I was able to try it on my laptop in PS, but now the option is missing. Selecting with rectangular marquee or any other selection tool yields no space for typing for the Ai tool. Googling has turned up empty. People seem to expect it to be there when it is now.

       

      How do I turn it on?  Thanks

      @BLaurie Go to Photoshop Help Menu/System Info and copy/paste details in a reply. Post only once as the system takes time to process the large amount of data.

      @Trevor.Dennis The new beta has a generative fill feature in the Crop tool. That is what the OP is referring to.

      You have the Crop tool selected.  You need to make a selection using any of the various tools Photoshop has to acheive that.  It's easier to use Generative Fill from the Contextual Task Bar.  If that is not showing, go to the bottom or the Window menu and turn it on.

      You are on an outdated beta version. Uninstall and install Beta 25.0.
