New Photoshop feature - Generative Fill

Awesome. This sort of stuff I have no problem with, am hoping it will be as quick with cars with often tend to be the blight of many an image I want to take as people just dump them anywhere these days.

Yep it does cars, people, pretty much anything just highlight the stuff you want to disappear and dont type owt in the text box; hit generative fill button and wait a few seconds while it sorts it out. Gives you 3 options to choose from, or hit the button again for it to give you 3 more… and so on. I’ve played with adding stuff but apart from skies I’m not really into that.

It won’t do blood, gore, weapons and stuff that could be seen as dodgy apparently.

No or copyright stuff etc. Comes up with a notice saying inappropriate or something like that but I’ve only had it once when I put in something like “Godzilla eating a man.” :rofl::rofl:

So I have been playing around with Generative Fill in photoshop tonight

Here is my untouched original image taken with the Air2s

This is after, I kind of made just a few changes, increasing the image too, this is absolutely crazy !!!

Good shout, I didn’t think of that as an option, thanks :slight_smile:

I didn’t know that was an option either, I’ll switch to that approach.

I bought my Adobe suite Ps, Lightroom and cloud access etc (you need latter for the beta and Gen fill etc) for £83 using Groupon. Also Gen fill can make a fist of removing stuff sometimes so I use it in combo with the Remove tool to see which one does a better job. Seems rather obvious but if adding stuff to your photo making the right shape and size of the object to be added with the lasso tool helps Gen Fill to come up with the right options to choose from.

There is a bug in the generative fill that makes it reject the fill sometimes which is sorted by putting a full stop in the prompt box

Worth noting now it’s out of beta, it’s no longer totally free from 1st November.

Depending on your subscription you’ll have so many credits per month.

Although the FAQ page does state if you’re an Adobe Creative Cloud subscriber you can still use the feature, but it will just be slower. How slow, I guess we won’t find out until 1st November.

This tool totally made removing stray hairs from a wig in a portrait session a breeze the other week, but i’d have burned though my credits in no time!

Unused credits do not roll over.

Metadata and Content Credentials will also specify AI was used in the image edit. If you don’t want that, then obviously copy and paste your final edit to export is your friend.
