Question

Generative fill borders are sharp and don't match the background

I've been having this issue since I updated to the latest version of Photoshop Beta (two days ago). I don't know if I'm doing something wrong nor if I changed some setting inside the tool. I also went back to an oldest version but it keeps happening the same thing! 

I know it's kind of hard to see, but you can see a color difference around the tube

Aldunnie, you're not the only one with this problem. Generative Fill does not match the background and tends to have a sharp line in the transition to the original background. It's enough to keep me from using it.

Hi, Is this still not resolved or is there a way to avoid it? I'm having this problem for a few weeks now it's making me go crazy!

Try using a soft-edged selection. You can do one of the following:

  • Make your selection and feather it (Select > Modify > Feather, or Shift+F6)
  • Enter Quick Mask mode, fill with black, use a soft brush to paint your selection, exist Quick Mask.
  • Use the new Selection Brush with a soft edge.

Hello Bojan! Thank you for your approach. Sadly that's not the problem! 😕😕

Let me attempt to identify the potential issue. Could it be that you have the "Gamut Warning" option enabled in the "View" menu? If you notice a checkmark next to "Gamut Warning", please click on it to disable this feature.
