Removing object with generative ai

Can you show us the original image?

Without seeing what you started with, I am going to guess that your selection was too tight.  If you use one of the Ai tools, like Object Select and Select Subject, you then need to expand that selection by a good arm's thickness to give Gen Fill enough background to work on.

Looks like the generated layer was placed underneath some other adjustments. After reordering the layer it came out as expected. My hope would be the layer would be placed at the top as there is not much guidance.

Hi @tobsenmilch that is odd.  Have you restarted Ps beta and does this happen again? Do you see this with all images you try this on or only this file?

Try resetting Prefs for the Beta:

/Users/yourname/Library/Preferences/ Photoshop Beta Settings (Mac Ventura)

/Users/yourname/Library/Preferences/Adobe\ Photoshop\ \(Beta\)\ Settings (Mac)
C:\Users\user name\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop (Beta)\Adobe Photoshop (Beta) Settings )Win)

Launch BETA Photoshop While Pressing The Keyboard Shortcut

With Photoshop closed, press and hold Shift+Ctrl+Alt (Win) / Shift+Command+Option (Mac) on your keyboard and then Launch Photoshop the way you normally would.
