New GenFill/Expand Model in 9/9 Photoshop Desktop Beta   A test version of the Firefly Model for Generative Fill, Generative Expand, and Reference Image for GenFill in Photoshop for desktop was released to our public Beta on 9/9. The benefits users should see: better generation quality than the previous beta builds better prompt understanding compared to previous beta builds. Fix for the Opacity workflow bug (went to beta on 9/5)  This reinstates the ability to use a semi-transparent mask to control the intensity of  Generative Fill variations (Like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZUJSIzCW5L4) or to give a photo a painterly effect (Like this: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/zLdLlj712Fg) Reference Image for Generative Fill improvements (more realistic shadows & scale) Please grab the latest Prerelease/Beta build and try some Gen-Fill Fun and Gen-Expand Excitement!

Hello Beta Testers! We're excited to announce the release of an improved Remove Tool in Photoshop (Beta), and we need your help to make it even better. As a valued beta tester, your feedback is crucial in helping us refine and perfect this feature before its official launch.   We're unleashing the power of Firefly inside the Remove Tool – designed to enhance your experience by seamlessly replacing pixels with the best-possible results.   The Remove Tool already has a virtual toolbox of multiple technologies available; it analysis your image and decides which is best to replace pixels you want to remove. Now we're adding generative AI as an option to ensure great results even with a large area or complex background.     Here's how you can get started: Update Photoshop (Beta) Make sure you have the latest version installed. Explore the Remove Tool: Navigate to the Remove Tool in the Toolbar. Accept the Firefly Terms of Use: If you haven't already, agree to the Firefly Terms of Use that appears.     The Mode setting in the Remove Tool is set based on the Terms of Use acceptance.  Manually change the Mode setting in the options bar as needed:     • Auto (May use generative AI) - default if TOU was accepted     • Always use generative AI     • Never use generative AI - default if TOU was declined  Use the Remove Tool as usual; it will choose from the best technology to fill each area. Share Your Feedback: Let us know what you think!      Reply to this forum thread      or      Give it a thumbs up or thumbs down in the Beta Feedback panel. Things to note: • The Firefly model in Auto can be triggered for a fill area of any size, based on object analysis. Firefly will also be triggered by fill-area size; used for areas greater than 1000px. • No variations provided - a curating technology decides the best result.  • The results are returned as pixels on the current, selected layer - the way the Remove Tool has previously worked. Tip: Use the Remove Tool non-destructively; create and target a new blank layer and turn on "Sample all Layers" from the Options Bar.   We appreciate your time and effort in helping us improve Photoshop. Thank you for being an essential part of our beta testing community. We look forward to hearing your thoughts! Best regards, Meredith Stotzner Sr. Product Manager Photoshop Team ... View more

Hello The June 7th, 2024 Beta version of Photoshop for Desktop has a new checkbox in the Reference Image fly-out. Remove Background- will automatically identify the area behind the subject in your Generative Fill Reference Image and remove it so you get better results. This addresses one of the main Reference Image problems of unwanted areas in the Reference Image appearing in the variations. Remove Background is available in the Reference Image fly-oout for Generative Fill and Generative Expand - which uses the content of the image.  It is not available or applicable for Generative Image, which uses a Style Reference Image. Select Subject technology is behind this feature and it uses mode set by your current preference (Local vs Cloud)(Settings > Image Processing: "Select Subject and Remove Background") . Select Subject detects and selects the most obvious subject(s) in your image. How well does that work for your Reference Images? Please give it a try! Let us know if the Remove Background meets your expectations for isolating the subject and providing better results. Generative Fill -> Reference image -> Remove Background on Reference Image fly-out Thank you, The Photoshop Team   ... View more

The April 2024 release of Photoshop (Beta) on the desktop 25.9 previews an early look at the new Adobe Firefly Image 3 Model. This under-development AI technology which powers Photoshop’s generative AI features, will create more realistic and higher-quality content.Everything created with Generative Fill, Generative Expand, Generate Similar, Reference Image, and Generate Background in this beta build is using the new image model.     Feedback request: Please let us know what you think of the images produced by the AI features.  Do the results meet your expectations?    Tell us how you will use these results in your projects. Compare the results with those created using the same methods in the general Photoshop release. Respond in this thread or provide input via the Beta Feedback Panel; click the beaker, next to the blue Share button, in the Photoshop Options Bar.      Known Issues: If using a mask with opacity to create the selection, Generative Fill does not work as expected. Groups of people are not generated as expected. Using the words “realistic” or “hyper-realistic” in the prompt results in the opposite.   We sincerely thank you for your time and genuinely appreciate your feedback to help us improve this technology. Thank you. ... View more

Enhance Detail (Photoshop beta) improves the sharpness of variations generated by Generative Fill. With this improvement, variations can have greater detail clarity and blend more seamlessly with the existing image. This feature is still under development and we are looking forward to your feedback.    Feedback request:  Please provide feedback on the up-sampled results.  Performance: please include your hardware specifications. Tell us what circumstances you would use this feature.  We’d also like to hear about UI/user experience, discoverability, convenience, and usability. Respond in this thread or provide input via the Beta Feedback Panel; click the beaker, next to the blue Share button, in the Photoshop Options Bar. Follow these steps to start using Enhance Detail: 1.        Generate an object using Generative Fill. 2.        Navigate to Properties panel > Variations to select your preferred variation. 3.        Hover the cursor over the variation in the Properties panel to reveal the Enhance Detail  icon, then click on it. The results will be refreshed with increased sharpness and detail visible in the document.  The Enhance Detail icon will dim to indicate the enhancement has been applied. Tips and Tricks: Generative Expand: This feature is designed to work best for Generative Fill. However, in the Beta we have enabled it for Generative Expand and Background Replace. Generate Image: Enhance Detail is not supported on text to image layers. "This result is too small to enhance" is returned when the area selected for  Generative Fill or Generative Expand is less than 1000 pixels in both dimensions.  This is because the Enhance Detail feature will not have an impact . Unsupported systems: If you try to enhance a variation and your system is not supported, you may see one of the following messages: "Your system must have at least 8 GB of RAM to use this feature.", "You need macOS 12 or higher to use this feature.", or "Can't use the feature because your system is running Rosetta." The Enhance Detail feature runs locally on your system, so you do not need to be connected to the Internet to upscale an existing variation Known Issues: Undo: In the 4/23/2024 Photoshop beta, a nondestructive workflow has not yet been implemented. Users have the ability to Ctrl + Z to Undo the enhancement while available.  Afterwards, the Enhance Detail is permanent. Noise & Grain: is not added/matched with this feature. We appreciate your time and value your input. Thank you! ... View more

Today we are releasing Photoshop (Beta) on the desktop 25.9 with a sneak peek at an under-construction feature; Reference Image. Reference Image for Generative Fill and Generative Expand allows you to upload an image of your choice, then Generative Fill uses the content of this visual input as a reference to influence the generated results. This means that the output takes inspiration from the content of your provided image in addition to - or - instead of your prompt. A picture is worth 1000 words!   Reference Image for Generative Fill/Expand works differently than the style-based Reference Image in Generate Image (our new beta Firefly text-to-image feature in Photoshop (Beta) on the desktop 25.9); Generate Image uses Style for references, Generative Fill & Generative Expand use Content. Follow these steps to generate variations using Reference Image: Generate an object or scene using Generative Fill or Generative Expand workflows.  Select the Reference Image icon  from the Contextual Task Bar or the Properties panel then Choose image to upload your desired image. Pair this image with descriptive text prompts, if necessary.  Click Generate.     Feedback request: Please tell us your thoughts on the results. Let us know how your are using this feature in your workflow. It’s helpful for us to see 1. the original image 2. the source Reference image and 3. the result. Respond in this thread or provide input via the Beta Feedback Panel; click the beaker, next to the blue Share button, in the Photoshop Options Bar    Tips & Tricks: The Reference Image icon gains an indicator when a Reference Image is being used.  Isolate the subject of your source reference image and remove the background for a clean result without unexpected objects or transferred background.   Like this:                                                                                       Not this:                       Known Issues: Background of source file is visible in result. The current workaround is to remove background of source image. Use a black or white background to isolate the subject in the source Reference Image. Do not use transparencty. Make your reference image Canvas Size a 1:1 square ratio (Image>Canvas size) if the results are unexpected and misshapen. Reference Image results are larger in scale (fill the selection) than non-reference image results.   Thank you for providing information so we can keep building this feature to better enhance your control and creativity.   ...
