Generative Fill Variations

[Austin27542330tcjj]

Hello,

First post here, been doing alot of reading (and testing!) with the new beta version and generative fill and it raised some questions for me.

1) When running generation again, to get a new set of 3 variations, does it source the selection from the base layer again, or does it source the previous variations and generate from there? I've noticed it sometimes "rabbit holes" where the variations end up very similar as generations increase on the same layer (just clicking generate again), but going back to the same selection and starting over generates a better variety.

2) Are there any plans to increase/set the number of variations to run in one batch?

3) If not, are there any plans to run several batches in a row?

4) Any plans to run multiple prompts at once in the same batch? IE using wildcards for different colors of the same object, etc.

For 2 and 3, I find I run somewhere between 9-15 variations before finding a happy base to work from, and fine tune from there in small batches. It would be nice to run a larger "first" batch of variations and get a general idea of if my prompt/selection are adequate for what I want to do instead of generating over and over again.

I'm not sure of the answer to your first question, but from what I have seen, it seems to be using the base selection each time. As for questions 2, 3, and 4, Adobe does not announce their plans in advance. Anyone who knows would be under NDA, and volunteers are not privy to inside information.

I know you can use actions to do multiple generates but not sure about more complex than that.

Despite my best efforts, any "actions" that I make end up using the prompt that was used at the time of creating the action. I havent found a way to script/action a new prompt without having to remake the action every time.

Any luck on this? I'm trying get Actions set up for Generative Fill but cannot escape a new prompt dialogue at the start of each individual Action.

[Austin27542330tcjj]

The best I managed was repeating the same prompt X number of times, which required a new action to be made for each prompt.

I gave up on it, never found a way to do it properly.

I think this will be helpful for my purposes. There are plenty of samples here that I have yet to fully dig through: https://youtu.be/JCfX0lmHBy0?si=wvMw7pG2X-cztsM0
