The photo has a tree covering the top 2/5 of the frame, land and other stuff filling the bottom 2/5. In the middle is sky (interupted by the tree trunk. All sky is selected inclding some parts between the leaves, I type in "fill sky with clouds and blue sky" or "fill sky with clouds" and all is see is a bigger hole in the tree showing more sky. What did I do wrong? How to make my now grey/white sky fill up with blue and clouds?

I'm also having trouble getting Generative Fill to create realistic clouds to use to enhance a bland sky. I've asked for "a few small clounds" which generated a fill with a large mountain range and some big clouds, I've asked for "a thin layer of circus clouds" which generated cumulus clouds, and another one where an eliptical selection was made, asked for circus clounds and it generated nothing. I'm beginning to wonder if the language understanding model is not able to parse out the key parts of my request. I have had some pretty good results when I'm making a selection of something I want removed from the image. In those cases I did not specify what to do, just clicked the generate button with no instructions.

Could you please post screenshots with the pertinent Panels (Toolbar, Layers, Properties, Options Bar, …) visible?

Had not thouight about doing that. I'll need to figure out how to do it. Thanks for the suggestion. Much appreciated.

@Bill Junk make a selection approximate to the sky area. Then create a blank layer and hide the original image layers. Generate your prompt (this is "whispy clouds")

Then make a selection of your original sky area and use that to apply a new mask to the generated layer:

You can shift the edge using Select and Mask to contract/expand the area to remove fringing.

Addendum: With the sky part selected I tried the "Edit --> Sky replacement" and I was prompted with. "Could not replace the sky because no sky was detected" I would assume this is why the AI Generative fill did not work. but either wayI do not understand why this is so. DOes the sky have to be on top with no obstacles?

Please try Sky Replacement without any active Selection.
