I completely agree with Careaux. The prompts are completly unusable; they often produce nonsensical content, and the overall image quality is smudged and poor. It’s perplexing that this issue wasn’t noticed earlier, and it raises the question of why it’s so challenging to connect PS 26.0.0 to the high-quality AI model that worked so well in PS 25.12.0. None of this makes sense to me. ... View more

Hi CM, Thank you for sharing the tip! As someone who works daily with Photoshop and generative fill, I’m focused on producing top-quality results within tight timelines. This means I don’t always have the flexibility to rate, comment, or answer feedback questions—my priority is often generating new prompts or moving on to the next task. Professional retouching demands a careful balance of speed and quality, so I’m constantly focused on maintaining that standard. Thanks for understanding!   ... View more

Thank you, CM and Stephen, for your responses. I was curious as to why the drop in quality hadn’t been noticed earlier, but I appreciate the insights. I’m hopeful that the quality we had in version 26.00 will return—or even improve—with the upcoming Photoshop 25.12.0 release. Right now, unfortunately, it’s just not usable. In terms of using prompts, I've found some interesting behavior. For example, when working on fabric textures and removing a button, including "no" in the prompt seems to improve the chances that it’s removed, compared to leaving the prompt blank. Similarly, for hair: adding the word "hair" helps fill in empty spaces with hair more reliably than an empty prompt, which can sometimes yield other gaps or unrelated textures. The new generative fill of Photoshop 26.0.0 beyond its current quality issues, also tends to add unexpected elements into hair, like small flowers, that don’t belong in the composition. ...

Hey Robert, I completely agree with your point about setting clear client expectations—it’s essential, especially now that the quality of retouching is continually rising. There’s definitely no turning back, and it’s both exciting and a bit nerve-wracking. From a professional perspective, it’s intimidating to realize how much our skill set is becoming dependent on AI. It's definitely changing the game for us in ways that are hard to predict! ... View more

It's surprising that no one noticed the poor AI quality before it was released. I only found one person in the forums who pointed out the decline in quality during the beta version. ... View more

Photoshop 25 above and photoshop 26.0.0 below: I've noticed a definite decline in the quality of the Generative Fill feature in the latest version of Photoshop (26.0.0).I used the prompt "hair" on a selection, and the result was a lot of flowers instead of realistic hair and the quality is pixelated.. However, when I tried the same selection and prompt in a previous version, it produced as I am used to almost perfect hair texture. This change has impacted the quality of the output significantly. ... View more

I have updated to photoshop 26.0.0 and the results of generative fill are absolutely beyond usable. I was able to reinstall 25.12.0 and It works just fine. The quality of the new release 26.0.0  has dropped to an unusable level. Textures that were rendered beautifully in previous versions now sometimes appear smudged or as if painted in with a brush. There are far more nonsensical fills—like birds randomly appearing in hair or clothes, and extra hands in bizarre places when the image already has two! It’s like AI gone wrong. What happened to quality control? How does the AI actually get worse? This is beyond frustrating. To make things worse, the newest update deleted my older versions, even though the "delete older versions" checkbox was unchecked. It's incredibly frustrating to lose those versions without consent. ... View more

The situation has gotten worse with the latest non-beta version of OSX (26.0.0). Despite not selecting the option to remove older versions, all my previous versions were uninstalled. When I try to reinstall an older version, the generative fill feature automatically opens the newer one instead. It’s been quite a hassle. The quality has significantly declined. This version generates far more nonsensical fills compared to the previous one, which is really disappointing. ... View more

Hi Sameer, So, in the latest 25.12 update, the "removing area"window is still pulling its disappearing act—popping up for just a split second like it’s practicing for the Olympics. It’s starting to get a bit frustrating. And then there’s the magical cancel button that appears after every stroke—offering you the thrilling challenge of canceling something in a fraction of a second. Fun, right? Except… not really. It’s not exactly a practical workout for anyone’s reflexes. Could we maybe give that window a bit more staying power? Appreciate your help! ... View more

Hi Sameer, Thank you for your prompt reply and for considering feedback from the community. I appreciate your responsiveness. As a professional photo retoucher since 2008, I work with Photoshop every day, often making hundreds of brushstrokes per project. The new progress bar feature, while potentially well-intentioned, has become a significant distraction in my workflow. It flashes with every single brushstroke, which interrupts my focus and becomes quite senseless when there is no interaction or cancellation option available. This constant flashing is not only distracting but also unnecessary. From my experience and conversations with other retouchers, this feature disrupts the flow of work rather than aiding it. A more subtle or optional implementation would be far more beneficial to users who work extensively in Photoshop. Thank you for bringing this concern to the team. I hope this feedback helps in refining the user experience, and I look forward to seeing this issue addressed in a future update. Andi ... View more

This is really annoying and I have the same problem now in the non beta version 25.11.0 please make it as it was before...once at the beginning ... View more

My other retouching computer, a 24 inch Imac with the M1 chip running under Sonoma has the same bug. Again, I never had a beta version. So I guess this must be a bug or a mixed up update ? It is very annoying in the workflow and must go! ... View more

Hi Jeff, I never had the beta, I just updated photoshop 25 this morning and then this icon appeared which is very annoying and distracting ... View more

So another months has gone by and still no reply or solution to this desaster ? What is going on ?  Jeffrey, this is what you wrote 3 !!

The improvements I mentioned in the official answer did not make it into the 20.0.2 update. I’m hoping they make it into the next update. I’ll update the thread when the change is available." I am a full time retoucher, often on set so I see how everybody working profesionally  struggles with this and nobody updates or uses the older version. What's the plan ? Andi ... View more

I opened it, still no fix ! Back to work on the previous version. ... View more

Hi David, first of all thanks so much for addressing this problem. I am looking forward to the changes. Can you give us a timeframe ? I never doubted you would not listen to the users and at the same time I wished you guys would have kept us in the loop a bit more frequently. I also appreciate that you mentioned we can become part of the pre release program. I appreciate that a lot but don't think that due to deadlines and tight retouch work schedules I ( and I am sure many of us) don't have the time to work with something that might have bugs and is still a work in progress. I would wish that on the other hand you would network way more frequently with those users like me who make a living with photoshop, in my case as a photo retoucher, in other cases as a graphic designer, those whose tax return declares that I think we should be the ones that should be asked first, on questions like what tools are missing, or what tools can be improved.  If you say photoshop is a professional program, you have to connect with us professional users way better. In Forums, by invitation, by questionnaire , by invitation, etc. I am sure there are many ways to connect better to us that these forums here. Thanks again, Andi ... View more

Yes that's exactly my problem as well, I wrote that as well before, to rotate the mouse needs to be close to an anchor point. Exactly this is one reason for not updating. ... View more

Thanks Jeff, I knew you were addressing this! Please don't forget to correct the smaller hot spot handle (bug). We are all looking forward to hopefully an awesome update. Andi  ... View more
