Photoshop Generative Fill is Officially Out of Control...

In this video I'm finally touching on the whole Ai topic by playing around with Photoshop's brand new feature: Generative Fill. Quickly create, add to, remove, or replace images right in Adobe Photoshop with simple text prompts powered by Adobe Firefly generative AI. From concepting creative ideas to making complex edits and refinements, Generative Fill can help you quickly realize your vision while giving you complete control over every creation. As the same time though, is this a threat to artists today? Or just a tool? FInd out that and more in todays video!

Each generation is limited to 1Kx1K, so if you're extending an image, doing each side as a separate generation will result in much higher resolution generations.

[@yipyap5456]

same with the faces, they looked horrendous because they were scaled up from 1024x1024

@@Likou_ reference to two minute papers? :)

[@lao-ce8982]

One note on the extension part. Currently it only supports 1024 pixels, so anything above will be stretched. If you generate the missing parts in smaller bits 1024x1024, they will look crisp af.

[@AlphaYellow]

Yeah, I hope it will be much higher res once it comes out of beta.

[@crazysexykitty]

thats what i was coming to say lol

[@Real_MisterSir]

It's kinda odd that this limitation exists similar to Midjourney and other visual AI tools. I mean, Photoshop already has its own AI-based upscaler so you'd think it wouldn't be a problem for them to combine the generative AI with the existing upscaler technique.. Maybe they're trying to perfect it in a different manner instead of using old systems that could be outdated. Just find it odd they all hit this 1024 pixel limitation, as if they all share the same base code structure and development.

[@alishahid.4]

Hey benny. I really hope if possible u r able to make your own version of the across the spiderverse poster. And if he has made a video on it plz comment the Link below 👇

[@Renfield286]

@@AlphaYellow it's easy enough to make an action to extend and tile the selection if you are trying to extend an image. but generating large items is a bit of a pain.

I fully lost it at 6:13😂

[@sabito4737]

Someone fed ai too much memes😂😂😂😂

[@maxbazler]

One of the most useful cases for this tool will be to generate an object and use the way it interacts with light as a reference to put your own object in, since it seems like the AI is pretty good at that so far.

[@msb8111]

Soo true. I just thought about this

[@BennyProductions]

I agree!

[@Sypher20512]

A note on AI is that it will probably work better if you put more detail into the prompts so it knows what you want and thew style you want. For example, when you asked for "stars" it gave you stars, and when you asked for a "dinosaur" it gave you one, but you need to tell it the style you're going for.

[@hoothoot123]

Exactly. Ben probably already knew that and it wouldn't be a content if he didn't do what he did in the video.

[@leonardosouza2153]

Yeah but not too acurate. Benny would have to merge the new part of the sky to the original for it to work properly. The way he did, AI was not considering the whole image or even the original image, it was just a prompt for stars with no content for it to base of. It was like he was using a white canva to generate, capiche?

[@BennyProductions]

@@leonardosouza2153 Wow that's actually smart lol, I'll keep that in mind for the next videos :)

[@Sypher20512]

@@leonardosouza2153 Does it not? Because when he just gave a blank prompt it would extend the image in accordance with the original work

[@leonardosouza2153]

@@Sypher20512 Yes. But in that case he would need to prompt: Fill The image with a Sky full of Stars.

[@lyziqco6555]

This can be useful in concept arts so the artist can draw over and refine certain things to how he likes and can get new ideas through it

[@CommonTube]

[@CommonTube]

Oh Benny, you had to give some detailed prompts like, a hyper realistic dinosaur with 2 arms matching with the background fog, illumination, ultra realistic render, Same goes for every other stuffs to get a higher level to perfection

[@benf1925]

but it said that in that tool in Photoshop you don't need to add specific word like ultra hd, 4k, octane render, etc... But i agree that you can add more detailed prompt for the subjet😉

[@Heroasaurus]

I think the point isnt to create a final picture but rather a good base image. Its not a failure its a start.

[@crewrangergaming9582]

yes and AI is so much in its early years, it has just been adopted in real products by all these big companies this year means there's a lot to happen. Of course AI attaining self-awareness might be a longshot, but other smaller things that it does in so many products is amazing and bound to get better.

[@anirudhsingh6553]

dude chat gpt happened a year ago only...and that was the start of this whole a.i boom... now in only 1 year a.i hype..we have a tool like this to work with..imagine 2 or 3 more years..

[@thatboyp444]

would probably help, with longer prompting

[@KreeseCraft]

Protip I discovered: You can differ opacity of your selection for Generative Fill. I.E. if your selection has 1% opacity then Generative Fill will only enhance selected area. So you can work on the whole canvas not caring about 1Kx1K limitation, and then enhance it chunk by chunk. More percentage would filter your image accordingly

[@PiyerX]

After watching this video, it is confirmed that Digital Artwork creators are safe now ....

[@lukasmll]

Yeah for the next 5-10 years maybe

[@adriandobre2628]

For now, maybe. Remember this is in Beta, and the beginning of all this crazy AI stuff.

[@davidkelly7537]

This is Beta, it will improve at an exponential rate. Look where Midjourney was a year ago and where it is now.

[@markm7411]

you didn't saw the evolution of midjourney then in the last 6 months.

[@markm7411]

Benny is an amazing artist, but he is a beginner prompter which makes huge difference and firefly is way behind midjourney, this is no reference, I hate ai and for me it should be banned from almost every area, this ai stuff will replace many artist in next months, and probably 2-3 year all.

[@OnlyStip]

We need some type of Benny vs AI Challenge!!

[@benf1925]

It will be cool to see you using the Photoshop generative ai and edit some of the result. Like the futuristic city, you can add your touch to finish the composition but base is the AI.😊

[@hellraidart]

It's all about the prompt input, when you for example put stars nothing else it won't understand that it needs to blend it with the background. But if you get very detailed in your description it will understand what to do much easier. Interesting video never the less! Thanks Benny! Also hands and feets has always been a struggle for AI. It's getting better but since this is a new feature for photoshop it will be very limited I guess.

[@seth.visuals]

This is a great demonstration of how much your prompt inputs matter, single word prompts can give some crazy responses and refining it can gradually bring a result closer to that of your original intentions

[@ImTerasHD]

I think they use the adobe stock library to train the AI, which explains the weird supermen.. limited as it might be, at least it seems they respect copyright laws 🎉🤗

[@jacobfitzjarrell1504]

It would also explain why content such as the dinosaur, robot, and futuristic city looked unrealistic--there aren't many good references from stock images for the AI to use.

[@joserobertosouza9759]

Benny, I am happy you are finally starting to see the AI as a tool. You are an amazing artist, and should never be afraid of technology. I am old, so I know the feeling. I follow you for a long time, and you should take advantage of the tools you have at your disposal, they won't go away. We artists will always make the results it generates better, you have the knolowedge to take it to the next level, most people don't. Using the light it generates as a guideline for your placed objects is already a great thing to have. It would be amazing to see you taking it to the next level, using your skills on top of it. Maybe in a future video? Thanks for all the great content.

[@joshuaspruett]

I’d love to see you use this to create a composite using only Firefly! Generate different things and then edit Photoshop’s generation and make it better.

[@franktielemans6624]

You can paint in your quickmask with a greyish color, press Q and generative fill and it will generate an image but less intensified. Don't mistake it with opacity, it will be opaque, but the generated image will blend more with the originel image. Perfect for the test with sharks.and the stars in the sky.

[@JustARandomFio]

I do composite art and 3D rendering since the mid/late-90s (besides my "real" job as a web and graphic designer). This whole AI stuff is fancy but it definitely lacks even basic quality requirements at this moment for more or less professional use at sizes larger than a mobile phone screen. I'll wait a few more years and improvements before considering it. For now, I'll stick to good old manual compositing, a tad more time-consuming but well worth the effort. BTW, I discovered your channel not long ago, and I must say, I absolutely LOVE your work. Kudos!

Great video man- BTW, didn't realize you were sunburnt until you pointed it out 😂

[@uhorne]

There are some things i think it will be really useful for. Like the extend ability. I've sometimes found some model images i think could be really good, but the photographer had cropped off some of the hair or such. Or making a landscape or city scene slightly wider, instead of using a lot of cloning

[@affedos]

[@jossipepegonzalez]

Thank you for showing all the failure cases. All the other videos make it seem like its perfect...and I was getting some mediocre stuff and sometimes downright bad with only a few good ones.

[@darrensherley7996]

Thank you, Benny, for the reality check. I need it.

[@tranceemerson8325]

what you're supposed to do, Benny, is use stable diffusion prompting. you have to tell it the style and quality and stuff. remember it's still a machine and can't quite always pick up the inference, here are some examples. (best quality), (photorealistic) and the lighting features, (sub surface scattering, realistic lighting).. hope that helps. most AI also has a negative prompt so you can tell it specifically what to avoid.

[@Adept1819]

As a designer im scared of all these ai stuff. Its not necessarily the ai but more of human itself. Ive seen many messages about how people are happy that there wont be a need of designers and also some greedy people are considering replacing designer with Ai because it doesn't cost a thing and can do it in a few minutes compared to designers... Also i've noticed that on instagram real artist are now completely overshadowed by ai " artist " and real artist work are barely seen now.

[@victorebhodaghe3885]

It's not very good at doing big things yet, but as an easy tool to do small adjustments to images it works quite well. I have mostly tested it by using images from Midjourney, and extending and tweaking them in Photoshop, where this is just another efficient tool (with some limitations).

[@bjrnarskaland2805]

when I have used AI, it usually helps to write that it should be super realistic and, for example, write that the image is of high quality. The more description Ai gets, the better it will be.

[@aMayesingGamer]

So this actually made the fears that I had for artists go away. Yes, the Ai does well at extending and removing from existing images but it seems the Ai has troubles creating things depending on the context of the base image as well as the description of the prompt.

[@ijonas1631]

This is something that will most likely improve in the future. I dont see it as an issue now, but i can see how this will become a problem for artists down the line

[@Juan2142]

Working as a professional retoucher since 2004, This tool is amazing, however, you can't rely on it, in its entirety, so it helps in constructing small areas in an image as a constructed composite but it's not a tool that you can use at this moment as full on composite too as many people are hyping it. It's pulling its generate images from Adobe Firefly which has been trained from Adobe stock, so it's gonna give you all these funny results. So, for example, the dinosaurs you generated, you could use it as a starting point and then just build it from there with intricate detail work in Photoshop using the traditional methods that digital artists use. I noticed when using the "rectangle marque" tool on landscapes on huge areas it seems to work best as there are probably loads of these types of images in the data sets from Adobe stock.

[@eems9001]

Even tho it didn’t always do a great job you gotta remember it’s still in beta and unlike dall-e or midjourney it’s trained on the Adobe stock library so everything you generate will be able to abide copyright laws, I’ve been trying it out for the last week and it’s actually insane, especially using it in conjunction with Dall-E can produce some really amazing results 😁

[@mopolo]

Also, he was doing bigger than 1024x1024! And we gotta remember, coming from our current ways, we would have to purchase those images in order to use them, here we're getting instant infinite options for 'free', and even if it looks bad at first, we can tweak them to fit perfectly like how we would do with an image we paid for online.

[@aredhanush2300]

Its trained on adobe stock? Thats brilliant, finally a legally stable ai software!

[@Tyrunz]

One interesting thing about the photoshop AI is that it's the most ethical one we have right now, it was trained on the adobe stock, not on pictures stolen from the internet, which means that Adobe actually owns these pictures and the people who took these got paid, even though they never agreed for these to be used in AI training

I agree with Benny saying that it's just a tool. I'm working on a piece right now and I need a submarine image to add in, but I cannot for the life of me find anything that works. I didn't know about this feature until watching this, so now I want to try after seeing the dinosaurs. I saw the T-Rex as a template. I don't need a perfect image to insert and be done with, I need a well a shaped, will angled template that I can then add to with lighting, coloring, texture and more only when I can't find what I need from other sources. It's a tool. I hate seeing people abuse it, but Benny has the right idea and I want to see if I can get what I need out of it so I can finish my piece. If not, I'll just keep searching! Hopefully others will see it that way too. It's just a tool!

[@BambaAU]

you benny is soo tanned!

[@Mocorn]

As someone who's been using Photoshop for decades and AI generative art for almost a year I have similar feelings. It's another tool! I see people spending hours and hours trying to get hands right with AI generators. I fix those myself in Photoshop in minutes. I see people spending days learning latent coupling and multi region control to be able to generate a man with black hair on the left and a woman with red hair on the right. I photo bash this in Photoshop in minutes for a good starting point. I see people struggling with VAE files because the output colours are washed out.. i fix that in Photoshop in minutes with a Hue/sat layer. Pretty much any particular problem people are having with generative art i can fix in Photoshop in a fraction of the time it takes them. Then there's getting the light right, i paint it in in Photoshop, fog, rim light, shadows, smoke, God rays, haze etc etc. All of this can be done much quicker in Photoshop. Those of us who know Photoshop can get superior results so much quicker than the rest. Because we use all of this as a collection of tools, not a one click solution to everything.

[@uKhyta]

As a tip, use more descriptive words like realistic, shiny, foggy, big, 8k, cinematic and so on.

[@andrewd.3469]

I would say that prompts are needed, especially for the dinosaurs. "Realistic dinosaur" may have helped etc
