How to use Generative Fill in Photoshop.
1
Use any selection tool to select an object or area in your image. Select the Generative Fill button in the Contextual Task Bar that appears.
2
Write a prompt describing the object or scene you want to generate in the text-entry prompt box. Or leave it blank and Photoshop will fill in the selection based on the surroundings. To further customize your results in the Photoshop (beta) app, click on Reference Image and upload an example image containing desired content, like a jean jacket. Use just the image or combine it with a prompt to tailor your result even more.
3
Click Generate. You’ll see thumbnail previews of variations generated based on your prompt, and a Generative Layer will be created in your Layers panel for non destructive editing of your original image. To see variations of your favorite result in the Photoshop (beta) app, select it and then click on Generate Similar to see new versions of that image.
Tip: To generate even more options, click Generate again. You can also try editing your prompt to fine-tune your results.
Create stunning, lifelike images with a new level of quality, precision, and control with the most advanced Generative Fill yet.
Turn nothing into something faster than ever.
Add more to anything, anywhere on your image.
Expand images to turn a vertical shot into a wide horizontal image, change a background, update an outfit, or even add a generated object to an image with a short description.
High-quality creations, low time commitment.
Save hours of time bringing photorealistic or surrealistic ideas to life. Generative Fill adds and creates with appropriate shadows, reflections, lighting, and perspective to give you stunning results that need much less editing.
Refine, retouch, rework.
Add yellow lines to pavement or a wistful mist to an image with a text prompt, and then make adjustments. Generated content is added on a new layer so you can edit, refine, or remove any creation without damaging the original image.
Cut out unwanted elements with ease.
Remove stray shadows from a photo or trim an extra tree from a generated AI image quickly. Simply select what you want to cut and Generative Fill will replace it with content that makes sense for the image — from a longer bookshelf to a blue sky.
Explore the next generation of Generative Fill.
The latest version of Generative Fill is the most powerful yet — and you can try it now in the Photoshop (beta) app. Create richer, more lifelike images with results that more closely resemble your prompts.
You can also customize your images like never before. Upload a reference image — like a vintage dress or a landscape — for results that match the look you want. And get more of what you like with Generate Similar. Choose your favorite generated images and create more variations with similar content.
Anyone can create incredible images with the new Generative Fill.
