Generative fill shouldn't pull visual information from nearby artboards

[Sammy24706118rdat]

I've been playing around with the new generative fill feature and one feature I'd really like to see implimented is the ability to toggle whether or not the fill pulls visual data from nearby artboards. I don't see lot of use cases where it'd be valuable to be able to do that and what often happens is the scraps of visual data from nearby images will muddle the final result. 

I often use Photoshop to comp together storyboards and it can get frustrating if I'm just trying to extend a scene in an ocean image and the results come out with bits of brick wall from a nearby artboard. I think a toggle feature would allow you to decide what would work best for your workflow.

2 years later and its still doing this. It really doens tmake sense for it to work this way and is likely an oversight that Adobe never thougth important enough to address. Its unfortunate because Id actually be able to use this feature if it were fixed.

Artboards are a hack to make multiple, possibly different-sized "canvases" from a single canvas. So, it's not surprising that unwanted nearby content may influence the algorithm. This is certainly something that Adobe should address in development.

In the meantime, I can envision an action or script to copy the selected artboard active layer area to a new temporary document, process it, and then return the result to the original... Or perhaps a smart object instead of a temp doc. Anyway, something like that; I haven't tested this idea, I'm just shooting from the hip.

I played around and this is possible with an action, although scripts offer uninterrupted processing:

This v1 script uses a new temporary document to isolate the generative fill source data, which was the original idea that I explored:
