Hello Photoshop community!

 

If you've used Generative Fill and Generative Expand, it's possible you've seen this dialog:

 

 

On November 7th 2023, the filters were adjusted to be less overly-sensitive, and we're still working to find the right balance here. If you continue to encounter issues after 11/7, please let us know in this thread!

 

Also, within this notice dialog, there is an opportunity to provide feedback to the team and request a review of the content. Please continue to use the feedback option to help us make improvements to this experience.

 

Thank you!

Hi there, It still keeps saying the same thing. I just wanted to add a sixpack in a picture and it says "We encountered an issue with your results. Please view our guidelines and try again. How can I solve that issue?

I thought it might be improved with the new release. Nope. I'm working with images of classical stone statuary. I even spent the time to digitally apply bikinis to the sculptures so that Adobe's algorithm doesn't assume I'm creating pornography. That didn't work either. I can't tell you how many hours I've wasted with this. I guess I'm just a dirty minded sham of an artist who doesn't deserve to get my money's worth for a product I've been paying for for almost 30 years.

I finally got generative fill to create ancient chest plate armor for my stone sculpture by finding an image of a woman in exercise clothing in a similar position and camera angle. Tons of extra work, but whatever. The hilarious thing is, after all its fussiness about my partially nude stone statues, half the chest plates ended up having huge (like weirdly huge) metallic *nip-ples* on them ("The message body contains n*****s, which is not permitted in this community).

What exactly is going on over there at Adobe?

Adobe, PLEASE stop this insanity! I cannot generate ANYTHING on pictures that I have taken of any models. WHY? Is this violating the guidlines?? CAn my models only be fully clothed? Please answer because this drives me crazy!

OMG it's terrible since the latest update anything with too much leg showing gets stopped. I just want to fill int he background around her legs! She's wearing clothes what gives? I've tried several images from this session and another works fine with the second set, but the white backdrop and bare legs gets the flag everytime.

We in this community have been haggling over this since FireFly started. Everyone understands there are countries that have VERY strict rules on what can be seen and what can't. Heck, I used to work as a news graphic artist for the Christian Science Monitor (Boston) and got reprimanded for using a stock photo of a guy on the beach picking up his girlfriend in a two piece bathing suit (not a string bikini, a two piece). This was for an over the shoulder news graphic about vacationing. Oops, who knew. I thought it was rediculous. The point is, some people don't get art. This is real stringent in some countries. Can't Adobe make the rules different based on the country you're in? If you live in a country that's really strict (ni hao) then you get the tight restrictions if you don't they get a less overbearing.

 

As mentioned before, bottom line, Adobe is a private company and as such can do whatever they like. You have the option of using other software for Ai generation. There are a ton out there (with zero restrictions) so if Adobe won't let you add a background to a girl wearing a dress because (ITO) it's just too risque - use another companies software.

Which is unacceptable for paying customers who are not violating the TOS. Private company or not, when they charge for a service they have to provide it. If the TOS are not being broken, then they need to train their AI better considering they are a leader in the field with photo and video editing. All of the updates they roll out, they can fix this easily

When i use GF in the Normal/Live PS client it works like should, but in PS Beta i get it goes against the terms, bla, bla...

 

I hope you don't push it on the Normal client, because it will become unusable.

Yes, it's extremely censored on the PS Beta.

 

They need to turn down a little the SAFETY switch, because it will make it unusable:

It amazes me that I encounter issues working on images for powerpoints... I work in military simulation, and I need photoshop to allow me to make images of soldiers and weapons - this inability to show weapons is insanity and I can't see any logical reason for it.  These kiddie guardrails are pretty ridiculous, we aren't 10 year olds making girly pics.   You can post  [abuse removed by moderator] art on facebook without violating their terms and polices, you can post consensual acts on X.  The fact that the highest end artist tools want to censor content (including content created by Michelangelo) that you could see in a PG rated movie is pretty insane to me.

Less overly sensative?  I found them to be more sensative.  I've been trying to add lighting bolts to an image. I get the 'violated guidelines' every single time I try.  It's come to the point that literally anything I try 'violates' guidlines.  What exactly can I generate that will work?  
Today I've been trying to add lightning to an image. Even this violated guidelines.  I'm at a loss. If it nothing works. Why have iit at all?

I cannot change hair colors or hairstyles of people who are fully clothed, no nudity, wearing a dress with bare arms or legs. I also can't change the background anymore. I never had this problem until recently, but now nothing works anymore. Very frustrating.

This is so ridiculous 

I am a portrait photographer but also do fine art nude and near nude photography, everytime I go to gen fill something it's gives me this stupid error, nude painting and photography have been a thing since day one of art, pay for a software they police even though it's for clients and it's something I could do with more steps in Photoshop so I can't understand why the AI cannot do this for us like I'm not even touching an area near them nude model and I still get this stupid error, don't be needs to stop policing photographers yes there are always going to be a minority that do the wrong thing but there are more of us artists that are doing the right thing that are just trying to make the best artwork possible for ourselves or for our clients, Adobe should have a filter where we can Blur the n!pple or the v@gina or the peni$ then let us do our edits with gen fill around the areas where we need the edits or even better Adobe should unrestrict proven photographers that are within this niche I'd give Adobe my passport on my driver's license as ID towards my unrestricted gen fill, something needs to be done here I don't know what it is but something needs to be done because we could edit the same image in Photoshop just it takes longer but now AI as a new feature coming out should be celebrated and it seems that politics or religion is getting in the way of this, 

Even now I go to post a response to Adobe and I can't even say peni$ or v@gina this is a descriptive of a human body part that every surgeon learns every school teaches like come on what are we doing here Adobe censorship of words that are actually descriptive in a response to you it's not swearing it's not a bad word at all it's a descriptive

"Closed fist" routinely throws up the error. I'm trying to edit an image of a Roman emperor...
