Question

generative expand very glitchy

Adobe Photoshop Version: 26.4.1 20250225.r.194 4c5f14b x64

Windows 11 PC

 

Generative expand to try to add the tip of a raptor's tail .  

AT first the free crop wouldn't work so I tried restting and clearing in the crop tool dialog.  Not any better and lots of slowdowns and ghosting of crop outlines. 

Went over and over it with no joy and would only expand the whole image without chajnges in original image when I click on generative expand.  Also CTRl+z would not reverse it. 

Finally got it to work by exiting photoshop and recexecutihng from  creative cloud and doing it all over again then did a good job of adding tail feathers.  Very glitchy and frustrating for  a LONG term PS , LR etc user.   Not a beginner.

Hey, @gadget48. Welcome to the Photoshop Community. I'll need more information to help you figure this out. Please share a video & screenshots of the issue and the system info from Photoshop Help > System info > Copy and paste into a text document > Upload and attach here.

 

Does it behave as mentioned after a specific set of steps? What troubleshooting steps have you tried already?

 

Also, please test and confirm if the issue exists with Photoshop (Beta). You can get Photoshop (beta) from the Creative Cloud > Apps tab > Beta Apps section. 

 

Thanks!

It's one of those things where you know and may never happen again so I
have to wait till they will and I'll try to document the steps. It's one of
the frustrations with Photoshop that leads me to recommend it to people
less and less unless they really want to delve into Photoshop and
Lightroom. The real experts app that needs a lot of patience and you have
to be almost too smart to use it.
