Reference image background remove and no selection box to remove or to keep original image

[Zita36227679ws7s]

Hello. I am seeking assistance. I am experiencing significant frustration and disappointment. Following a recent update to Photoshop Beta, I am encountering difficulties generating images using a reference picture.

The background of the reference image is consistently being removed.

Despite exhaustive research, I have been unable to locate an option to retain or remove the background when selecting the reference image. During the generation process, a prompt appears regarding possession of the image, which I have attempted to address even after exiting Photoshop and restarting. Thank you in advance.

Reference Image Background Removal – No Selection Box Option
Thank you for your assistance, @Sameer K. I appreciate your support.

I encountered significant challenges with the updated version of Photoshop Beta (26.7.0). The reference image background was removed without any option to retain the original, and the quality of the generative images was subpar.
Additionally, the update nearly depleted my generative credits, leaving me with very few remaining.
I sincerely hope the authorized team will consider restoring some of these credits.
While I understand that Photoshop Beta is still in its testing phase, this update has been the most problematic one I have encountered in the year I have been using the software.
I appreciate your time and consideration.
Best regards,
Zita
