Generative Fill—part of the revolutionary and magical new suite of Firefly-powered, generative AI capabilities—is grounded in your innate creativity, enabling you to add, expand, or remove content from your images non-destructively using simple text prompts in over 100 languages.

The new content is created in a Generative layer, enabling you to exhaust a myriad of creative possibilities and to reverse the effects when you want, without impacting your original image. Then, you can use the power and precision of Photoshop to take your image to the next level, surpassing even your own expectations.

How to use Generative Fill in your image

With Generative Fill, you can:

• Generate objects: Select an area in your image, then describe what you’d like to add or replace with a text prompt. 
• Generate backgrounds: Select the background behind your subject, then generate a new scene from a text prompt. 
• Expand images: Expand the canvas of your image, then make a selection of the empty region. Generating without a prompt will create a harmonious extension of your scene. Generating with a prompt will add content to your image while expanding the rest of your scene.
  
• Remove objects: Select the object you want to remove, then generate without a prompt and watch it disappear. 
  
• And more… Generative Fill is incredibly versatile. Experiment with off-the-wall ideas, ideate around different concepts, and produce dozens of variations in a snap.
  

Generate an object

Select an area in your image, then describe what you’d like to add.

You can now view the variations in the Properties panel and click on the thumbnail preview to see the results on your image.

Generate backgrounds

Select the background behind your subject, then generate a new scene from a text prompt. 

To do so, choose Select > Subject, then choose Select > Inverse. Then follow steps 2 through 5 from the Generate an object section. 

You could also Select Subject > Invert Selection > Text Prompt > Generate (all in the Contextual Task Bar).

Expand images

Expand the canvas of your image, then select the empty region and apply Generative Fill. Applying Generative Fill without a prompt will create a seamless extension of your image.

Generative Expand is the simplest way to add generative content to an empty canvas, but Generative Fill can also be used as an alternative.

Follow these steps to use Generative Fill to add generative content. 

Remove objects

Select the object(s) you want to remove, then let the generative AI technology make it disappear. 

Leave the text-entry prompt box blank after clicking Generate if you want the selection to be filled based on the surrounding in your image.

An engaging learning journey with Generative Fill

Also introduced in Photoshop 25.0 (September 2023 release)

Experience the power of Generative Fill upon launching the app, by stepping through a short tutorial showing you how to transform a scene using a preloaded asset.

Work with an interactive and contextual learning experience, including a series of videos, that will guide you to generate variations. 

You can also choose from sample prompts (to choose the most relevant), rely on visual-based tooltips (to indicate how selection size plays a role in shaping generated content), and get a view of the Properties panel early on in this experience.

Setting standards for responsibility and transparency

Also introduced in Photoshop 25.0 (September 2023 release)

With this release of Photoshop, you'll have access to a generative AI model that is ethically sourced via Adobe Stock.

Through efforts like the Content Authenticity Initiative and the Coalition for Content Provenance and Authenticity,  Adobe is standing up for accountability, responsibility, and transparency in generative AI and Firefly.

What this means is Photoshop will automatically append Content Credentials to images generated using Generative Fill and Generative Expand and exported as PNG, JPG, or "Save as", to let you and others know an image was created or edited in Photoshop using Firefly's generative AI technology.
