Click Generate.
Review the generated variations in the Properties panel.
Select your preferred variation from the options.
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.
Use the 'Generate' feature carefully, blending the new pixels with surrounding areas. Adjust the edges and color match so the extension looks smooth. For large work, at least zoom in to check details.
A photographer or a landscape artist often uses this when expanding backgrounds or creating panoramic views. Ensuring the extension matches the original scene helps it look realistic.
You should consider trusting generated extensions when the AI creates smooth, consistent fills that match the existing image's style and lighting. Always check the result at full size to see if it looks natural.
A retoucher or a digital artist working on a composite image might use it after initial editing to fill gaps or extend backgrounds, especially if manual painting would take too long.
Match the scene’s lighting, color tone, and texture when generating extensions. Use adjustment layers afterward to fine-tune the hue, saturation, and brightness.
A photo editor or a creative designer benefits from this by making the extension indistinguishable from the original, especially when creating wide-format artworks or posters.
Relying on the AI without reviewing details can lead to unnatural seams or mismatched colors. Always zoom in to check the edges and overall blending.
A graphic designer might put the extension into a layout without aligning the colors properly, making it obvious it was generated.
A photographer or a digital artist who enlarges backgrounds or creates panoramic images regularly checks generated extensions for realism.
They do this during post-processing to avoid visible seams and maintain image quality across large formats.
AI helps generate quick extensions, but manual adjustments are often necessary for perfect realism. Fine-tune with clone stamp, healing brush, or color matching.
A retoucher or photo editor spends time refining AI results, especially for key projects like large-format ads or fine art prints.
Generating extensions involves creating new content that blends smoothly with the existing image, unlike simple retouching or cropping.
A visual artist or a creative director often uses this to expand backgrounds or prepare images for large displays, ensuring content looks natural and integrated.
