Thank you Colin. Your teaching is saving me a lot of frustration with trials and errors when the answer is often simple!

[@Rachyatteau]

You are so good at teaching complicated things, making everything look easy! Thank you!

[@photoshopcafe]

You are so welcome!

[@RobertAfrick]

Pretty cool...excellently explained! Keep them coming, Colin!

[@ralphpayne6259]

You are brilliant at picking up the best way to use the changes that Adobe are introducing so that we can get the best results quickly and at best quality! Thank you!

[@thepurpleufo]

Colin...thanks for tis excellent demonstration. I would never figure it out without your help.

[@JimSewell]

Nice explanation and demo of the reference image feature. Thank you.

[@liverpoolpictorial]

Thanks Colin. Your tutorials save me so much time from learning from my mistakes.

[@FotomakerAcademy]

That was helpful! Significant difference between the gen fill vs gen image to create ref images. And, it will save 'messing around' time knowing the order you use which buttons. Thx!

[@bala1000mina]

Very helpful, thank you Colin!

[@mvereker]

Thanks for that. Learned something new again.

[@codygiron7814]

I was aware of this new feature, but as yet have not tried it. Your comprehensive tutorial will make my efforts better.

[@photoshopcafe]

Have fun!

[@foxdenfinds]

even more amazing, creatively, use any image style + effect as a reference to a whole image , not just a selection and you get some awesome stuff :)

[@waldoh027]

Great tutorial.. thank you!

I attended a zoom session with Lisa Carney earlier today (NZ time) with the Adobe User Group of NJ. Lisa said that she uses Pixelsquid 3D models to help generate reference images for Firefly and Generative Fill, and her demonstrations were very impressive. You'd probably need to be using Photoshop professionally like Lisa, to be paying $200/year subscription to PS though. She had some other cool tips like using Gen Fill to fix hair outlines when compositing people onto new backgrounds. Just run a brush around the outline in QM and use GF with no prompt, and all that lost flyaway hair, and other glitches, are fixed in a jiffy.

[@photoshopcafe]

Very cool. That’s a great idea to use pixel squid! 🦑

[@twomustangs]

This appears to limit contextual cues. The hat was facing one way and her head another. It looks as though lighting from behind was taken into account, but the reference image seems 2D otherwise.

[@Daryljon64]

I really needed this. Thanks for the insight

[@photoshopcafe]

happy to help

[@mohsinfareed1797]

Great as usual. Very helpful.

[@tomberault4434]

but now i can't have the generative fill interact with MY IMAGE by going the quick mask, filling with a percent of gray, leaving quick, put in my prompt and watch the generative fill INTERACT with MY IMAGE. I SHURE HOPE ADOBE DOES NOT TAKE WAY THIS FEATURE as they have with the Beta version

[@photoshopcafe]

Density isn’t working right now. I’m sure they’ll fix it

[@christopher8116]

Although you can't use a layer image.

[@photoshopcafe]

right, that would be a nice feature

[@thewebstylist]

SO amazing!

[@photoshop.marinaulanova820]

The AI in photoshop is very raw. So far, I'm only using the canvas extension. Other AI functions work very funny

[@kennethnielsen3864]

Thanks for sharing.

[@BreannaMae]

What an amazing new feature! So let's say you could go back in time to about 20 years ago and show your younger self what Photoshop is capable of in 2024, how do you think you'd react?? All of this AI stuff is mind-blowing!

[@photoshopcafe]

I'd think space aliens had taken over the world lol

[@MR.x2005x]

I have the latest version and there is no such function... when will it be officially available in all Photoshop?

[@chasebros4948]

Very nice. Glad to see Adobe is making improvements to its AI features in Photoshop.

[@davidmoore720]

Thanks. That's helpful. But, Colin, I hate it when educators say something is, for example, "better" but don't say why. Or "What I like to do is..." instead of "I like to do this, because it .........."

[@photoshopcafe]

Sorry dude, it's hard enough to teach with a camera rolling without having that in my head along with all the other comments. I just have to do my thing. If you don't like my style, there are others who teach differently. The nice thing about KZbin, there are options. This is me :)

[@davidmoore720]

@@photoshopcafe It's totally not about your style - it was a plea for more insight. Apologies if I unintentionally came over as too aggressive. That's not me :)

[@photoshopcafe]

@@davidmoore720 Sorry for the strong reaction, sometimes I let comments get to me :) Did you have a specific thing that you would like more calcification on? I'm always happy to answer any questions.

[@davidmoore720]

@@photoshopcafe Thanks - I don't have anything specific from this video Colin. You commented that the hats from Generate Image were "much better" but, in this case, I knew that meant higher resolution. If you were looking for a topic for a future video, I'd be interested in your understanding of why you might prefer one of the many sharpening tools for one type of creative sharpening, say portraits, but possibly prefer another for landscape or cityscape images. I've heard different photographers propose "their preference" to be Camera Raw, or High Pass, or the old Unsharp Mask, etc. But they usually stop short of explaining why - they say "what I like to do.....".

[@spacekitt.n]

the new generative fill behaves so differently, i wish there was a way to use the old one, i was used to it and it worked very well for certain things

[@photoshopcafe]

The old one is in the Mainline version of Photoshop. FF3 is only in the beta

[@isoawe1888]

I’ll start by saying “ I’m an old man”. That said, the only thing I learned is that photographers should learn to be better with their computer rather than their camera. I hope this is not the future of photography.

[@aussie2uGA]

In the future, people won’t need a camera as AI already knows what every imaginable scene looks like and we will just describe it.

[@isoawe1888]

@@aussie2uGA 😂😬

[@genem9725]

Cell phones killed real photography several years ago. Most photos are viewed on a phone or a laptop. The resolution sucks, of course.

[@Gwennie363]

Agreed. I'm in my 30s so not "young" not "old". I work in portrait retouching for a small full-time studio. I love new tech. I love solving problems woth Photoshop. But this just depresses me. I see the writing on the wall. It's major yuck.

[@aussie2uGA]

@@Gwennie363 Glad you’re looking forward and identifying what all is coming, what changes are taking place. With AI already having the ability to code itself, so many high paid jobs will disappear. Imagine being a paralegal whose job it is to research case law. AI just made you irrelevant as it can dissect numerous examples and provide correlations instantly. You’re smart to look ahead.

[@sennahsenna8289]

0x0000142 The latest beta update, made today 04/30, is giving error 0x0000142... and the program no longer opens... anyone else?

[@Barmarcbiker]

It’s sad to see that photographers are more reliant on software than they are their own skills using a camera. Oh I don’t like that I’ll photoshop it!!

Well, this IS PhotoshopCAFE,where I teach editing :)

[@photobeast]

It pisses me off we pay a lot of money some of us hundreds of dollars every year for Adobe subscriptions. Yeah so many companies even my phone apps do a better job than Adobe Photoshop does when it comes to anything AI. I'm talking about colorization which half the time it says it's been disabled. To fixing images. As somebody that does photo Restorations you know I take this stuff very seriously after I spend my hard-earned money to get stupid results over and over again

[@williamconnell6541]

OMG... just get your subject to put a freakin hat on before taking the picture, Photography is or has gone down the toilet!!

[@photoshopcafe]

Most people using Photoshop aren’t photographers and most designers have to work with whatever photos they are given
