To use Generative Fill in Adobe Photoshop, follow these steps:
- Open Photoshop Beta Version
Generative Fill is currently available in the Photoshop beta version. You can install it via the Creative Cloud desktop app under the "Beta Apps" category
- Make a Selection
Use any selection tool (e.g., Rectangular Marquee, Selection Brush) to select the area you want to fill or modify. This can be a blank area, part of the image you want to extend, or an object you want to remove
- Access Generative Fill
After making a selection, a Contextual Task Bar will appear with a "Generative Fill" button. You can also access it from the menu bar via Edit > Generative Fill
- Enter a Text Prompt (Optional)
You can leave the prompt box empty to have Photoshop fill the area based on the surrounding content, or type a description of what you want to generate (e.g., "mountains," "galaxy")
- Generate and Review Options
Click "Generate." Photoshop will create several variations in a new layer, allowing you to choose your preferred result. You can generate more variations or edit the prompt if needed
- Refine and Blend
Use Photoshop's standard tools like Eraser or Clone Stamp to refine the generated fill. You can also adjust blending modes and opacity to integrate the fill seamlessly
- Save Your Work
Once satisfied, save the image. The generative fill is nondestructive and placed on its own layer, preserving the original image
Additional Tips:
- You can extend your canvas first using the Crop tool to create space for new content
- Use the "Select Subject" or "Remove Background" options in the generative fill toolbar for quick selections or background removal
- Experiment with combining text prompts and reference images for more customized results
This tool leverages Adobe's AI technology to intelligently analyze and generate image content that matches your selection context, making complex edits like object removal or scene extension much faster and easier
. In summary, Generative Fill in Photoshop allows you to select an area, optionally describe what you want, and let AI fill or modify that space creatively and realistically with minimal manual effort. References:
