Generative Fill

Generative Fill is not working for me. I keep getting a message saying to check my internet connection because the service is not responding. And I have checked, and it's a VERY FAST connection speed. My internet connection can't be the problem here... could there be something else going on? I would LOVE to be able to use this new feature!! I use a Mac. Thanks

so i uninstalled becuase I was not using it as often and it was working fine! then i reinstalled it to use the generative fill again but this time it was greyed out. so right now i opened photoshop and it works again! so not sure if that was a glitch before biut so far today it is working.

Generative fill was unavailable and greyed out for me as well. I tried to uninstall and reinstall but still the same problem. I'm using Windows.

@iamrootbytes could you share more info, screenshots or video, of what you are seeing? When did GF last work, are you on the latest version of Ps beta: Adobe Photoshop Version: 24.7.0 20230628.m.2223 0770f83 x64

 

Have you tried to uninstall and reinstall Ps beta via CCD?

Hi Cory, here's a link to a video recording of the GF issue I'm encountering so you can see what it looks like on my screen: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/9p55srluh4oeff0/AAAjvMamrOec77enUEzx4yRDa?dl=0

Hang in there @Flori0D4D we will figure this out.

 

The team was wondering if you could take a screen recording so we all can see the message and when/how it shows up.

Hi Cory, I tried running GF again, as requested. (FYI, this was after I restarted my computer earlier.) Today I opened up a smaller file in Photoshop Beta to try out... but now GF is disabled (so I now can't even attempt this task, which is a bummer). When I click on the GF button, I receive a message saying to connect to the internet to use GF. So here's the info on my internet speed. I use AT&T fiber and ran a speed test using speedtest.net. According to SpeedTest, Download speed is 776.42 Mbps; Upload speed is 611.90 Mbps. They also provide Ping (ms) data: 15 idle latency, 41 download latency, and 35 upload latency. Hope this info helps.

Curious what happens if you choose a smaller file size, like 1k x 1k, does it work then?

 

What is your internet speed when you test, curious what sort of connection you have.
