Generative Fill Problem "Generate Similar" Missing

I installed the 25.11 version of Photoshop last week. The generative fill should have the option in the 3 dot menu for variations to "generate similar". I only get good, bad or report. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling with no effect.

I'm working on an iMac with Sonoma 14.5. When I installed the update, Adobe indicated that my system was compatible. Any ideas? Thanks for your help.

Same problem here. It is described as a feature here but not implemented yet maybe? : https://helpx.adobe.com/au/photoshop/using/generate-similar.html

@screennamebetween1and25ch This is available in Photoshop 2025 version 26.0.0.

After you generate go to the Variations in the Properties panel and click the ellipses (...) button to reveal:

Nope. The only things in the drop down are good, bad, report. No generate similar

update - new 2025 version of PS has generate similar in the 3 dot menu now - mine was previously missing. Still an issue with the generated content being significantly darker and not blending well, and textures still don't generate well either (like a render on a wall for example) and still an issue with angles not being extended well (like a wall that's on an angle and you're extending the image, the extended part will be a noticably different angle to the main part even with good definition and a good amount of image to reference). Also tapping "enhance detail" makes the generated part signifcantly lighter than the main part, sigh.

October 27 and still a problem. There's no "generate similar" in the toggle options.

Can report this is still an issue and Generative fill is SO CLOSE to being the most amazing tool of my deisgn career if this and the issue blending the brightness / line where the new section and old section meet are fixed.

Well it is a Photoshop Beta Feature, not in the original release yet, i guess you might have figured that out , since i am a month late here to answer.

Which, if you think about it, makes no sense! Why include a reference to a (non-existent) beta feature in a full release? There is also the pop-up about using a reference image. Again, not available now. How about removing those references until the full release! (Side note: And don't say, "Well, they're just teasing us with what's coming up". If that was the case, they would pepper the crap out of Photoshop with "teasers". And wouldn't that go over well. /sarcasm)

I'm having this exact same issue. Generate similar is an important function, and it's nowhere to be found in the current version of Photoshop for me. I only have options for "Remove background" "Good" "Poor" and "Report"
