The tool
Generative Fill

Generative Fill uses AI to add, expand, or remove content from your images based on text prompts.

  1. 1

    Open your image by selecting File > Open.

  2. 2

    Select the area you want to transform using a selection tool.

    Best practiceFor expanding the canvas, use the Crop Tool to extend the image boundaries first.

  3. 3

    Click the Generative Fill button in the Contextual Task Bar.

    NoteYou can also access it from Edit > Generative Fill, or Select > All then Edit > Generative Fill.

  4. 4

    Type a prompt describing the object or scene you want to generate in the text-entry field.

    NoteYou can leave the prompt field empty to have Photoshop generate content based on the surrounding image.

  5. 5

    Click Generate.

  6. 6

    Review the generated variations in the Properties panel.

  7. 7

    Select your preferred variation from the options.

  8. 8

    Save your image by selecting File > Save As or File > Save a Copy.

Generative Fill creates new content on a separate generative layer, allowing non-destructive edits.

Generative Fill functionality is integrated within Photoshop and is not directly exposed as a standalone API for external automation.

Questions people actually ask

with the jobs and tasks they touch

Use the sharpening and contrast tools after generating labels to improve legibility. Applying a slight increase in clarity helps make text or labels stand out. Save your settings as actions for faster repeats.

You should do this after generating backgrounds or labels, especially if the AI output isn't clear. For example, if a generated label blends into the background, fixing it before printing or presentation is best.

Apply adjustment layers like Levels or Curves to increase contrast on label areas. You can also use the Brush tool to manually darken or lighten parts of the label for better visibility.

Over-editing, like increasing contrast too much, can make labels look unnatural or pixelated. Always check if the text remains clear but still fits the overall image style.

A graphic designer or retoucher often adjusts generated labels, especially before finalizing images for clients or print.
