This is so ludacris how far you guys want to deep dive into AI generative fill. To the point I cannot just simply adjust a crop on my layer without the program constantly forcing a fill.

 

Can we remove this, its making my work flow with photoshop 1000000 times harder now.

 

Thank you,

    Correct answer Jeff Arola

    With the Crop Tool if you set the Fill to either Background (default) or Transparent (default) then Photoshop won't do any

    filling.

    Try this: right-click the Crop tool in the options bar (not Tools panel) and choose Reset tool from the context sensitive menu to reset the tool to its defaults. Let us know!

      None of this works for me after today's update. [cursing removed] Adobe! Your AI generative fill [cursing removed] anyway.

      This is so ludacris

      By @davidd89

       

      Jeff's got the right answer…Adobe did not take away either of the old options, you just have to put the Crop tool back into one of those fill modes and you won’t have to wait for generative AI to make something up.

       

      (Also, on a different subject, the word is spelled “ludicrous”…“Ludacris” is a stage name for a celebrity)

          In addition to what Jeff said, the options for the tools are sticky, meaning that changes stay across time and across documents until they are changed again or the tool is reset. 

           

          Try this: right-click the Crop tool in the options bar (not Tools panel) and choose Reset tool from the context sensitive menu.
