Generate reasonable fills for missing coastal shoreline where sensor coverage is absent: expand the canvas, use generative fill to infer shoreline geometry from neighboring coastline patterns, and save the result with the filled area on its own layer.

Reduce legal risk by making artificial shoreline fills transparent to reviewers: keep filled shoreline on a separate layer named [layer=Inferred_Shoreline], annotate the logic used ([logic=adjacent curvature, historical imagery]), and deliver a version with the inferred area masked for field verification by the [specialist=coastal geomorphologist].

Questions people actually ask

with the jobs and tasks they touch

Open your image, go to 'Generate' in the toolbar, then select options like 'Replace Sky' or 'Match Evening Mood.' The AI will create suggestions to fill gaps. Use these to explore different possibilities before reshooting, saving time and money.

Use generated options when the background or lighting can be easily adjusted without changing the main subject. For example, a landscape background or dull sky can be replaced with AI, reducing the need for a full reshoot, especially in tight schedules.

Ensure your image has good contrast and enough detail. Use Photoshop's 'Extend Image Canvas' to give the AI more space to work with. Fine-tune the generated options by blending or adjusting layers to match the original scene.

Relying solely on AI output without reviewing details, which can produce unnatural edges or mismatched colors. Always check the generated result closely and adjust manually if needed to maintain realism.

A photographer or art director can use AI-generated background options during post-production to present clients with multiple visuals, reducing reshoots. Also, retouchers often produce creative options for approval.

AI is best at filling in backgrounds or simple textures. For complex subjects, manual editing or retouching is still needed. AI can help generate ideas but not replace detailed artistic work for realistic results.

Focus on tasks like 'Replace Sky' or 'Extend Image Canvas' to generate missing pixels. These are specific options within the generate function, making it easier to produce consistent, realistic images without straying into unrelated edits.
