In your 1st example you need to expand the selection by a few pixels or it's only got a person as the reference. If you had followed the instructions you would have had fewer issues.

If you follow the instructions and make the right selections it’s working very well……

I found it worked famously in adding more canvas to an image . Crop to wanted size then mark out the extended size and fill ...boom done !

[MarcySB]

I've used it a little. I think the technology so far is both amazing and scary. I do a lot of compositing and I can see using it if I can't find an element I need at the perspective I need it. That said, if I use it instead of an image I take, then the composite is no longer all mine. Sometimes, like the sky, it might be easier to just replace the sky rather than generate several times. It will get better, and it is here to stay, so I'm going to keep at it.

I usually agree with everything you say, but this seems kinda contrarian. 90% of the time I've used it, it's worked amazing. It really is game-changing, makes Ai more accessible, and is an incredible evolution of the Content Aware Fill.

Thanks Anthony, I’m a painter as well as a photographer and have been planning an image that represents the Australian eucalypt forest landscape. I had a layer with tree icons in the foreground and tried many different ways in photoshop to manipulate a photo of the bush to the image I had in my mind for the background. I ended up conceding defeat. A few days later I saw an ad for the beta version of photoshop, downloaded it and opened a new blank layer, described the image in my head hit the button and was absolutely thrilled to see exactly what I had imagined. I needed only to desaturate it. Printed it on canvas with deletions fot the tree icons which will be painted in and the background painted over with layers of washes. I willl send you a copy of the finished piece in, probably,August.

Thanks for another video. I have found when you use a loose selection with the lasso you get pretty good and consistent results. When you use the select subject tool I think the algorithm is trying to replace the subject and you get weird results.

[peterholton]

Concentrate on the positive. What it can do, which is amazing. Why would you ever want to remove the main subject of an image?

[BobG-ehfc]

thanks, some videos I've watched where clouds work are where you have a smaller selection in the sky (i.e. 2/3 of selection far from border).

[ronyedin]

My understanding from watching others use it, they select more outside the selection. I think the AI tries to blend the selection with the background.

[BURTBROWN]

I'm wondering if you can select the mask segment of the top layer and mask out the newly generated bad roof, etc.

[paullanoue]

The layer has a layer mask. If something is deformed like the building in your video simply paint it back in from the original layer below.

[alankefauver]

One nice thing is if you wish to expand the canvas and then fill in.

Hi Anthony. I general I'm not a fan of the availability of generative fill AI due to some of the reasons you've mentioned. Having said that, I think it could have some benefits when trying to fix images. For instance, I recently was able to get some shots of a Great Blue Heron flying off with a good size trout in his beak. Unfortunately, a couple of the better images from a sharpness and composition standpoint had issues where I was leading the heron a bit too much in the panning and ended up cutting off part of its feet. So, I'm curious to see if in a case like that I could extend that side of the image and have it fill in what should ideally be the rest of its feet and the background. I haven't had a chance to try it yet. On a PS Beta related front, I've noticed that when I've downloaded it in the past, whenever I am in Lightroom and I go to select Edit in Photoshop on an image that the only option I get is to edit it in PS Beta. I would have thought it would give me the option to edit in regular PS or in Beta, but it doesn't. The only way I can get around it is to open up PS first before selecting Edit in Photoshop and then it will ask me if I want to open it up regular PS or in Beta. Have you found a way to give you an option from the start rather than having to open up PS first? I've resorted to removing Beta because of this.

Wow, so finally I will be able to climb top of Mt. Everest in swimming suite!!

Thanks for this. Question: When you generate from a resulting "generation" is Adobe regenerating from your original image or from the generated image?

[DavidVelezPhotography]

Thank you, Anthony. I'm sure influencers will be "traveling" the world from behind their desk!

[viorelagocs]

You are using too simple prompts. You need to be more descriptive.

I used Generative fill to change an ugly bakcground. I must admit, the results are breath taking. I showed the pics to my model and she was confused. Huh.... We didn't go to beach, did we? I have no idea where this is all leading too but when properly used, it is certainly an usefull feature....
