expanded canvas problem

[richardg52861327]

Greetings!

I recently expanded an image's canvas on top and on the left side with AI Generative Expand.

However, no matter what I tried, I could not add an additional subject to the expanded areas (a cloud). Does anyone have a solution to this problem?

I am using PS 25.6.0 and Windows 11. I have not yet upgraded PS to the most recent version.

Thank you, Photodoc16

I'm wondering if you would get a different result with this script, using generative fill instead of generative expansion:

Generative anything results with what being created is put onto it's own layer.   You prolly just have the wrong layer selected.  You are adding clouds, but not on a layer you can see.

I'm a bit out of touch with generative fill, but earlier, it didn't work well with large areas/files. Maybe try doing one side at a time.

Ladies and Gentlemen,  My current answer to this problem with expanded areas is to expand canvas using the older method of using a 9 space grid where you can anchor one side and expand others as you need. I had no problems changing or adding anything to the expanded areas.    Thank you all.

I wonder if it might work better to expand the canvas first without the use of AI. 

Image ⇒ Canvas Size (Ctrl + Alt + C).

And then create a new layer on top with Ctrl + J for AI to fill.

Nancy,
I really don't think that would work since you are still using AI to fill
on top of another expanded canvas. If you have success send me a note.
Thanks,
Richard
