We need a reusable cut-out standard so teams can replace product images without producing halos or scale issues. Diagnose the template constraints — safe margins, allowed shadow styles, reflection handling — that will keep the cut-outs consistent, and give me a short, enforceable spec to include with the template so the next team won't break the edge treatment.

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 Content-Aware Fill feature to extend the background. First, enlarge the canvas, then select the empty area. Photoshop will analyze surrounding pixels and fill the space smoothly, especially if you refine the fill with the Clone Stamp tool afterward.

AI can quickly generate missing pixels in backgrounds for banners. It's best when the background is simple or natural, like skies. However, complex details or sharp edges may need manual touch-ups afterward, especially for large scale use.

A typical error is copying and pasting large areas without blending. This can create obvious seams or repetitive patterns. Instead, use Content-Aware Fill and refine with tools like Clone Stamp for a more natural look.

Art directors and retouchers usually handle this when preparing images for large displays, ensuring the extended background matches the original perfectly.

Apply Content-Aware Fill, then refine edges with the Smudge or Clone Stamp tool. Adjust brightness and color to match the original sky, especially if you’re enlarging for a hero banner.

AI can generate a good starting point, saving time, but manual editing is often needed to fix artifacts or ensure the extended area blends perfectly, especially for professional uses.

Make sure the background is clean and has enough space around the main subject. Enlarge the canvas to the needed size, then use Content-Aware Fill to start the extension process smoothly.
