How to Use Adobe Photoshop Generative AI
Adobe, the maker of the popular photo-editing and designing software, Adobe Photoshop, has launched a powerful Artificial Intelligence based resource. The new resource is called Adobe Generative Fill.
Despite its launch a few weeks ago, Adobe Generative Fill is in its Beta or testing and improvement stage. However, you can use it in various ways, including AI for your images.
I will explain how to use Adobe Photoshop Generative Fill in this article.
Understanding Generative Fill
Generative Fill, currently in beta testing, is a powerful Adobe Photoshop tool powered by Adobe Sensei, their AI framework. It allows you to manipulate images in various ways using artificial intelligence. Here’s a detailed breakdown of how to use it effectively:
Selection
Choose the right tool. The tool you use for selection depends on what you want to achieve. These tools are as follows:
Removing an object: Use the Object Selection Tool (Marquee tool) or the Quick Selection Tool.
Adding something new: Use the Rectangular Marquee Tool, Elliptical Marquee Tool, Lasso Tool, or Polygonal Lasso Tool to create a specific shape.
Extending the image: Use the Rectangular Marquee Tool and drag it outside the image boundaries.
Replacing the background: Use the Select Subject tool for quick background selection or the Magic Wand Tool for more specific color-based selections.
Accessing Generative Fill
Contextual Taskbar: With your selection active, a bar will appear at the bottom of the workspace. Click the Generative Fill button. (Enable the bar by going to Window > Contextual Taskbar.)
Menu: Go to Edit > Generative Fill.
Right-click: Right-click on your selection and choose Generative Fill.
Providing a Prompt
Craft an effective prompt: The quality of your prompt significantly impacts the generated results.
Be specific. Use keywords and details to describe what you want the AI to generate. For example, instead of simply saying “sky,” specify “clear blue sky with fluffy white clouds.”
Take the surrounding image content into account. If you’re extending an image with a landscape, describe elements that would naturally continue the scene.
If you have a specific image in mind, you can describe it in the prompt or even upload it as a reference image within the Generative Fill tool.
Generating and Refining
Click Generate. Photoshop will create several variations based on your prompt or the surrounding image.
Choose the best option. Each variation appears as a thumbnail. Click on a thumbnail to preview the generated content directly on your image.
Compare the variations and select the one that best fits your needs.
Refine the generated content. Use Photoshop’s editing tools to refine the generated content further. You can adjust colors and lighting, apply filters, or use tools like the Content-Aware Fill or the Spot Healing Brush for further fine-tuning.
Additional Tips
Experiment with different prompts. Feel free to experiment with different wording and details in your prompts to see how they affect the generated results.
Begin with more minor edits or straightforward prompts and gradually increase the complexity as you get comfortable with the tool.
Consider using Content Aware Fill. If Generative Fill doesn’t produce the desired results, try using the Content-Aware Fill tool for more straightforward content generation or background replacement.
Remember, Adobe Generative Fill is still in Beta. Remember that Generative Fill is still under development, so results may vary and sometimes be perfect.
Wrap Up
Adobe has yet to release a firm date on when it plans to offer the full-fledged version of Adobe Photoshop Generative Fill. However, as more AI-based image creators and designing resources appear in the market, you can be sure that Adobe will speed up the process of its latest launch.
