Generative fill on Photshop 25.0 release, is this tool on Beta still? can it be used commercially?

Report · Sep 12, 2023

Intersting thread, I have question.

The generative fill is now on the released 25.0 version of Photshop,

That is the generative fill is in the final paid for version of Photshop.

The thing that is bothering me is that they prompt you to use it as soon as you

launch Photoshop wich is cool, but it also says to agree to it's uses and guidelines

for the new AI fill, that is also cool and I took the time to read it because it

previously read some time ago that while on beta the fill was not be used

for commercial products, so I thought Ok then now it can be used to make

commercial products?

However on the license it only reads that while the generative fill is in "beta" you are not use it lest

you are doing work that will not be commercially in nature, however now the generative fill

is right next to the older content aware fill, right on the final version of Photshop that supposedly you can

use to make commercial work.

This a bit jarring because I almost clicked at it on the context floating menu on a project

I signed an NDA for, and that would have meant I could have share that part of that file

to be processed on their AI, while not knowing the AI is not be used commercially yet?

but its right there while all the other tools that I can currently use to make commercial work?

just not this one, I think it needs a red warning on the button or something then? or if not

then let us know straight away.

This strikes me as extremelly odd, if the generative fill is not in beta, then

an extra paragraph should be added on the license stipulaing that if you use the generative fill on the final

current release of Photoishop then its safe to use for your commercial project, and if its not why it is now

on the final Photoshop release, if its still beta shouldnt it still be on the Beta version of Phtoshop?

If this cant be use used commercialy then we are being mislead and a person could just end up doing

work that is not viable to sell without knowing, and if its viable then let us know on the license that

atm is contradicting it self, by having a feature that is Beta on the released version.

Please let us know then, the feature is really cool, and I would love to use it, but only if I can

use it for work like the older content aware fill, and if its not ready either, legaly, or tecnically, then

leave it be on the beta however long it needs to be.

Thank you for you time.

Cheers!

I wrote "interesting thread" at the beginning because I also wrote this as response to another thread dealing with

this topic but that thread was on the Beta forum and this is problem that pertains to both the release and the

beta apolgies for that small mistake.

And I was not able to edit the inital post to correct this, maybe you can... but I have not ide how to do it.

Generative Fill is only available in the Beta version of Photoshop and it isn't allowed for commercial use.
