Question

Using generative fill on a simple sketch for image creation

By using a combination of a partial density selection fill and then generative fill, some interesting images can be created.

    That's really clever Euan.  I tried it and got the result below, but I don't understand how the Quick Mask > Fill > Color bit works.  It's something totally new to me, but even without Generative Fill, the 'Fill > Color' part is an interesting process, and I'd like to know how it works?

     

    [EDIT]  BTW, the first time I tried it didn't work.  I then realised that after using Fill > Color you have to come out of Quick Mask before hitting Gen Fill.

    Well, as I understand it:

     

    Although we are using Fill > color we are just setting it to ( in this case ) a 70% density fill of gray

    When we come back out of Quick mask that translates to a partially transparent mask due to that 70% density

     

    Generative fill which works upon an image selection uses that 70% density to guide where it infills

    with the suggested key words.

     

    So, in the same way it looks at a "normal image" that it is generating into while using a selection, I think our key words imply to it that our sketched image fits to the keywords.

     

    This YT vid has some explanation: https://youtu.be/ZUJSIzCW5L4

     

    Best regards, Euan.

    But where does the color com into it?  What is the relevance of the simple sketch?  I remember John @Semaphoric showing us how to make displacement maps using colour instead of monochrome maps, which seems to be relevant to the above process.

    I wonder if this would be better in the Photohop Beta forum, Euan?

    Could be, however I'm sure GF will be out of beta soon 🙂
