GENERATIVE FILL A.I : Transform Photos into Stunning Paintings or Sketches (Photoshop)

[@BLTV_Photoshop]

Thanks Glyn for crediting me and referring your viewers to my channel! 👍

[@glyndewis]

Hey no problem at all; couldn't possibly take credit for something I didn't discover. Great video 👍🏻

[@Gatita-Gauhar89151]

Such a neat trick. kahma dating profile photo turned out great as well when I tried.

[@cjsim2]

Another option is to change the blending mode to multiply or darken on the quick mask layer once found the right painting type and change the fill to around 79% this gives a light painting look.

[@MGScheu]

This is awesome! One thing I tried that worked pretty well to get some detail back is lowering the opacity on the generative layer :)

[@glyndewis]

Nice one

[@rgarlinyc]

Yeah, I saw this on Marty's channel a few days ago -- quite amazing how he found out the 'trick' with the channel manipulation. I honestly cannot wait to experience all the new directions that Adobe promises to take us! Thanks a lot GD!

[@creatorsmafia]

I loved this! I learned more in six minutes by watching your video than I did over the past two days trying to figure out the tool on my own.

[@glyndewis]

That's great to hear

[@shriefallam8866]

That's freaking awesome! IT ACTUALLY WORKS!!!

[@EdwinLewisPhotography]

Glyn, thanks for the training and the reference to Blue Lightning. So much training is available. Yea!

[@glyndewis]

You’re welcome … thanks for watching

[@Herkulez1981]

Dude you are a legend !!!!… worked really good with the right photo. Had to take half of the photo with one generative fill and the other with a new oil painting generative fill worked really good

[@glyndewis]

Great to hear!

[@Trupti-Tatini020]

So many options! Even karma LinkedIn headshots looked very realistic and professional.

[@MichaelHansel]

Classy to share where you got the idea.

[@dknown]

I was following another tutorial about this on Shorts, but it skipped so many details that it didn't work for me. This video is definitely much clearer!!

[@glyndewis]

Glad it helped!

[@gregwoolliscroft6255]

Marty's channel is the best on KZbin. Simple and works every time unlike MANY others who leave little details out meaning you never get the same results...Anyway, I don't get a generative fill box in my Beta app, its Beta but there is no GF box....As usual, I had to go through about 5 youtube 'tutorials' to find the answer....

[@PaulHigham666]

Excellent. Thanks so much for the tips. Had great fun turning photos of my kids into cartoons with it!

[@glyndewis]

Nice one ... cheers Paul

[@Komala-Yogita079]

Such a clever idea, the styles look so realistic. Really creative use of the new features.

[@debbiegould4548]

Amazing and excellently explained again Glyn, thank you.

[@glyndewis]

Thank you

[@DalsPhotography]

Thank you Glyn , I was just looking for this! Best from Uruguay!!!

[@glyndewis]

Thanks 👍🏻

[@obiromaniankenobi1136]

Easy steps without the channels: Press Q then go to your foregroundcolor black and set Brightness to 30% and click okay (you have to do this only once). Then Option + Delete (turns red) and finally press Q again. Done.

[@glyndewis]

Same amount of steps ... same result

[@oliverimagesaz]

Thanks Glyn. Another great tip. I'm so impressed you guys can find these capabilities deep within an application. I can't wait to play with these options for some of my images.

[@glyndewis]

Cheers Tim. Yeah this was a great discovery from Marty. Hope you're keeping well out there 👍🏻

[@themysteriousunknownrevealed]

THIS is fabulous! If you play with the brightness amount, you can get more detailed results too, sometimes it works well with little details, sometimes it doesn't, but it's worth playing with! Thank you for your hard work and your teaching us new stuff! Cheers!

[@glyndewis]

No problem ... thanks for watching

[@luch13]

Excellent job!

[@DavesEpicPhoneShots]

Very interesting video 🤔 I didn’t know this could be done! Very useful and informative! Thanks so much👍

[@glyndewis]

You're welcome ... thanks for taking a look

[@Saguna-Ushma79144]

Wow amazing what you can do these days. Nice tutorial will have to give it a go.

[@Oscar_van_Crimpen]

If you want to adjust the size of the brush. Then you have to adjust the image size to something twice the original size. It doesn't matter that the photo originally had a lower resolution. Then do all the steps again.

[@Prarthana-Rudrapriya570]

This is so cool! Cant wait to try this with my photos.

[@JuranSpadano]

Thank you, perfect walkthrough.

[@glyndewis]

Thanks

[@mustafahussayn4744]

Cool video. I was waiting for filter which came at the end. I used the filter option as it gives more option.

[@glyndewis]

No worries

[@craigpiferphotography]

Brian Matiash put out a video last week that use the Quick Mask and the Fill option. It seems a little quicker and than going to the channels. Thoughts on that? Either way it's an interesting use case for Generative Fill. I'm sure we'll see much more. One of my favorite things to do currently is to just select all and do GF without a prompt. It's amazing what it will come up with.

[@tdalton854]

I also saw Brian's vid and have been dabbling with it. I'll try with channels next. I have no aptitude for drawing or painting except maybe finger painting. So for me this is a fun time. Thanks Gly!

[@anthonycrothers_Photography]

Thanks for sharing mate, really great to have even more options for editing/processing our images, especially for someone like me that can’t paint!

[@coffeetime1001]

To increase stroke details, set HSB to H0, S0, B10. The fainter the brightness (B), the more details it gets.

[@Lensman64]

Has anyone tried this since the latest (beta) update? For me it no longer works. I had created an action months ago which worked perfectly but just produces a blue "blob" layer. Even when I start this process from scratch it's the exact same result with no reference to the original.

[@EricDraht]

It doesn't work for anyone. We're trying to find the workaround. A guy on the adobe forums said he found a workaround that works for him, but his technique doesn't work for me.

[@Lensman64]

@@EricDraht Stable version works just not beta (for me).

I have exactly the same! I'm very upset now. I've wasted too much time on this

[@mortarguy5352]

Thank you for this helpful tutorial

[@damidammi]

what do you think is the reason behind the grey channel before applying the Generative fill? I can't figure how that's a key step. Thanks for your video

[@iodean7616]

Thank You sir May god bless you

[@glyndewis]

Thank you

[@MrJcasilva]

show de bola! greetings from Brazil!

[@JimFawcette]

Good Vid. Using Quick Mask does the same thing, as best i can tell, with fewer keystrokes ( Q / 30% / Q creates invisible layer)

[@caseygoodall9671]

You mentioned that you haven't determined how to control the size of the paint strokes. I found that by selecting 10% rather than 30% brightness gives much finer details. Then, by playing around with that percentage you can get exactly what you want.

[@glyndewis]

Nice one Casey

[@FotomakerAcademy]

This is cool! I'm not using the beta but it's still great to see possibilities. Are you not able to specify "oil painting with short brushstrokes"? Or, in watercolor, dry brushstrokes?

[@wheetypeedy]

I have a feeling he just hasn't discovered brush strokes. I just realize each capability tool in programs are thought up and created by a human. 😅

[@sparky4460]

I tried this over and over again carefully following your instructions and even watching other videos. I could never get it to work. It always filled the entire image with a oil painting like you showed in your video NOT how to do it. Finally I tried installing and earlier version of PS beta and sure enough it worked. There is something wrong with the current version 25.9

[@glyndewis]

That's VERY interesting to hear a re-install changed the result.

[@sparky4460]

@@glyndewis It's working great with the older version on Photoshop beta.

[@denisdion6847]

Thanks for this. I had the same issue. I uninstalled 25.9 and installed 25.8 and the technique now works.

[@mylzwrld]

Thank sm . I have 25.9 and it wasn’t working. Now its good after i intalled 25.8

[@miamitten1123]

The issue I have with the G-A.i, is that when I zoom in. The A.i part looks blurry. Never as sharp as the original part.

[@johnm24]

Hey! Is it possible to do this to multiple photos at once? Thank you

[@bySterling]

I might make some actions w these effects! 🎉

[@carrigman]

It's an interesting take on Generative Fill but the results are a bit naff as are all attempts by using an image editor like PS to turn photographs into paintings, watercolours or pencil sketches, something they can never be. A photograph is a photograph, a painting is a painting.

[@tubeondahriver]

You've lost me once the RGB channel is selected. I don't know where you are finding the generative fill edit option.

[@edit_by_tony]

Another slightly simpler way of doing the same thing - kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y3y3nayaZch3l8U

[@glyndewis]

There's always more ways to do the same thing in Photoshop

[@markbaigent8373]

Very interesting video. If the computing grunt work is being done on Adobe’s computers how long before it becomes billable I wonder.

[@RileyJang]

thank you

[@glyndewis]

👍🏻

[@matiasurzua]

Great tutorial. Thanks! I wonder: How do they discover these photoshop secrets to create these effects? Is it just experimentation, intuition or does anyone have any connection to the software (Photoshop) developer who gives the secrets? ps: Great picture of the old lighthouse by the way.

[@MalthouseMark]

I wonder if one can add a "style" - for example Picasso or Monet or Van Gogh? Might have to try it later.

[@elleliz3458]

Helpppp this used to work until I updated photoshop now the image turns red when when I complete all the steps and doesn’t work

[@canguroidrovolante]

A little question: it works even with styles like high-detailes drawings or marvel comic drawing?

[@hoomanot]

Great video! Unfortunately, I get a totally unrelated result after in spite of following the steps to the t. Some strange Bluish frame 😢

[@symeoncosburnpersonal5106]

Same - graphic designer for 25 years so know my way around ps, followed it to the letter - results in weird blue graphic with frame

[@hoomanot]

@@symeoncosburnpersonal5106 Hey, the issue exists only in the Beta ver. Use the regular PS version and you will get the desired result. I figured this out a couple of days ago.

[@zdenekburian1366]

and what about to load an image for style reference, ie an oil painting by cezanne, like it used in deepart (now discontinued) app or in deepdreamgenerator? last time i used deepdream, the result was far from what it used to be a couple years ago and i was disappointed; i think there is a function in stable diffusion, but you have to got an expensive card; can something similar to the classic stylegan results be accomplished by photoshop, firefly or some other online app?

[@tinahiggins7973]

Hi - I am following the steps (I am a experienced PS user) to change a image to a oil painting & I keep getting the same random blue odd image. Do you have any suggestions of what I am doing wrong? I am using a high res JPG image

[@alexdukal]

It seems that we are all discovering things at the same time. If Adobe improves the AI model and put some better GUI controls this will be a Big Bang. Another use > kzbin.info/www/bejne/epbPYauZebtnh6s

[@chlstll]

This doesn't seem to work anymore, at least not on the latest photoshop beta update :/

[@christopherharmon2433]

Wouldn't just using the 'oil painting' etc filter work just as well? (And probably be simpler?)

[@glyndewis]

No

[@themysteriousunknownrevealed]

BLUE LIGHTNING TV!!!!

[@glyndewis]

Yes exactly why I mentioned them and have also spoken with Marty who thanked me for promoting his channel 🤷‍♂️

@@glyndewis he is an awesome guy and a wonderful instructor.

[@lonecody]

I guess there's something wrong with my computer, all I got were weird looking oil paintings that did not resemble my image at all

[@EnriqueAviles]

I'm wondering how this will work the opposite way, starting with a painting or sketch and prompting it to make a photograph. My computer is being fixed, hence I cannot try it right now :s

[@MikeCaffyn1]

Enjoyed this and Martys. BUT can anyone explain what is actually going on here?

[@wenmil1967]

I cannot get it to select jsut the picture. I am getting a full page oil painting... ugggg

[@s1amvwbug]

Hi Glyn. Question, could the user create action doing technique? Creating alpha channel, that run the selection of the alpha channel, and create the prompt that “oil painting”, will it create the effect?

[@glyndewis]

You could create an action up to a point but it wouldn't do the prompt

[@GrahamGphotoParker]

Am I right in saying that generative fill is in low res at the moment

[@obryobry]

Ok, so when I hit control+click on the new channel , the warning doesn't show but the channel is selected displaying the Generative fill bar. Consequently when I go back to the RGB channel and back to layers then hit generative fill I get a random ugly result....why is this?

[@beatchildproductions]

@1:36 is where the tutorial is.

[@glyndewis]

🤣🤣🤣

[@perkin524]

I've found I get better results with a lower percent greyscale channel - say 15%, especially with watercolour.

[@dutenn]

No one has really addressed this! Is the lower value amount result in less strength of "oil painting" effect?

[@kacatriku]

AI will never replace humans

[@ceruleansurfer]

Does this work on the current Beta version of Photoshop? I can't for the life of me get this to work.

[@purefoldnz3070]

can this be done in midjourney?

[@noisefekt]

Do I still need the beta?

[@gagebruce642]

doesn't work in new photoshop release

Why it works?

[@Dataanti]

this should be the default behavior of photoshop. why did they make it like this when you just selected the area and told it to redo it in a particular style.

Why complicate your life by creating layers in channels when you can just take a white brush, press 3, then Q, paint the 30% area in one motion and press Q again. It's done in one click.

Not something I find complicated but hey if it helps you that way, crack on 👍🏻
