I would like to see photoshop add reflections to water and such when doing sky replacements, like luminar neo does

[Stephan Moebius]

Idea: since you want both replaced, the sky and the water, why don't you first replace the sky and then replace the water???

"Generative Fill will now continue to process and display results while in the background and not in focus"

This one is an awesome update,because there are some actions now to make a gen fill for high res photos with a smaller portion selected,one by one,and i had to be in photoshop to do that. Now i can just let photoshop do that in the background.

hi pete, in this version of photoshop there is one of the gradient tool bugs where when the image is exported it doesn't match its position

Hi Pete.

Just wanted to say that Generative Fill is an amazing tool. I've been using it a lot and the results are impressive. Kudos to the team!

I think the Remove Tool might be broken in this release. It was working like a champ yesterday (Previous version) and today it is blobs of garbage or black (24.7).

For me it wasn't working in 24.6 and it is still not working. It creates garbage or grey stains or blue stains. See attachment.

Here's what I am getting. I was removing a lavalier mic from this man's tie and this is what was returned. It thought long and hard about it too. This is some serious black. ;0)
Yesterday it was taking the mic's out in near-impossible situations without fail. I am seriously impressed with how well it was working. A silver bullet even. I hope this gets fixed soon as this one is a keeper. 

[Mike30712546p0d3]

Same for me. Black blob.

It seems that the generative fill is triggering false positives for violating user guidelines a lot more in 24.7. This photo is a snipet of what I am working on. This is a space between 2 people. So, we are asking it to remove the background between them. More, in this example, this is a background that the generative fill created. Now, what's interesting is that if I flatten the image, it will preform the new generative fill.

Hey, heads up. I am not sure what happened, but yesterday, the "Remove tool" magically started working again. The only thing I can say I did out of the norm was restarting my laptop (mac) due to a networking issue at work. Now it works (Huzzah!).
So, at this point, the only thing killing me is constant notice that I am somehow breaking the guidelines when trying to remove someone/ something. It seems that certain photos are worse than others, but Photoshop is super easily offended by elbows. Sexy sexy elbows.

Hello,

I updated to the new 24.7 and today I notices that I don't even have that little menu bar that allows you to use the AI features. Is there a way to bring it back?

[CoryShubert]

Hi @Robert25933839jh44, you can find it here:

I'm so sad, for the last 3 days I can't get generative fill because there are too many people using it 😞

I updated to version 24.7.0. but it doesn't work anymore.

[Ashleigh3070120184ti]

I've just downloaded photoshop beta and generative fill is greyed out!!!! Really not happy with this. 

[An Alarch]

You have to make a selection.  It works on the selected area.

[NaDQuA]

Genial! Excelentes y prácticos avances!!!

Thumbnail image display problem, thks

[stevel16534519]

Two issues I have with generate fill is,

1. On plain backgrounds, eg I want to remove a heatpump in the background on a wedding image. It fills the space but the area has no Iso noise like the rest of the image. I need to add noice to the generated layer to make it work.

2. Sometimes the simpelist area generated violate user guidelines, whats with that. It could be as simple as removing a tree stump. Thanks

As good as generative fill is, you can still use patch or clone for these instances.

[rajeevsao]

while generation of images, the generative tool loading bar still get locks in focus on my updated version also. is there any preference do I have to make changes?
