Does the new photoshop still have the patch tool?

[@PeeGeeTips]

Any reason why the new gradient tool doesn’t follow the colour swatch in the tool bar when hitting x to change between b&w for eg? I have to manually change it in the top tool bar and now it’s a slower process.

[@photoshopcafe]

I've noticed that tool, its a bug

[@quirkworks4076]

Yes, please do a tutorial on backing up actions and presets!

[@dojo1]

1st time I've ever downloaded new Photoshop while I'm mid-project. I told it to save my settings, and it seems to be working really well - cross fingers. It opened at the exact same spot I had finished working on the previous day - same colors, same brushes. I complained at them about the bar jumping around, even after it was pinned, when it was in beta. I must not have been the only one. I'm so glad they fixed it. I love being able to remove something without cloning in a background by hand. What they're doing now is so exciting - and useful. Thanks so much for your tutorial and updates!

[@MrIanMoss]

Quick tip: when using gradients. Add them to a group, then if you need an extra mask, add it at the folder level so it masks out all the contents, while leaving them fully editable.

thanks for the video, in 5:52 , i have tried to do the same and it missed up the floors , it did not do a perfect job .. i tried many times to fix it but still did not get the 100% clear image .

Thanks for the video. What i do not understand is that before this ps version, i could open beta by default in lr classic. I do not have this option anymore 😢

[@stilesvideos]

Great review.I have a painted green wall as my backdrop. Can PS change the wall color for video generative fill?

[@banditalley9592]

One issue I had was that Generative Fill was greyed out - I have a firewall and for some reason it became blocked by the new version, so if anyone else has greyed out AI, check all your firewall/blocker settings to make sure the Adobe servers aren't being covered up.

[@photoshopcafe]

Good advice!

[@aravindov]

Windows firewall or any other third party firewall?

[@leilahijazi6313]

Helpful vidéo. Thank you

[@vagaickie]

How do I expand using the crop tool without using a specific ratio? So dragging out only one side of an image without affecting the whole image. I definitely want to use generative expand but just haven't been able to figure out how to affect only one side. Thanks!

[@shaunig6716]

What I want is to be able to sharpen over pixelation due to max zooming. So what looks blurry becomes a sharp focus photo. Is that possible?

[@sandykreit1752]

I haven't see the Remove Tool before, that's awesome.

[@DavidJones-yu9ky]

Colin, thanks again, as always good info, short and to the point. I have lost so many presets, and actions over what seems to be each update. Yes, I would like a video on how to save, and where to store. And how to get them back. I have had some luck finding a photo that has had layers ,XMP info and is somewhat able to get some back sometimes, but not really.......

[@joseparcerisa4859]

Very good my friend, as usual

[@dwiggang4290]

Good vid. Nice to see it posted quickly after the v25 release. One note about the new live gradients on masks: You can resolve the issue of cleaning up to mask "bleed" onto the sky, in your example, by simply creating a Group containing the LUT layer and adding a mask to the Group which hides the "bleed" over the sky. You could, in fact, create a nested set of Groups, each with its own gradient mask to add an addition "spotlight" and then the solid "mask the sky" mask on the top Group. Each of the gradients could then remain live and editable.

[@photoshopcafe]

Yup, that another way of doing it, I actually just did a tutorial on clipping groups

[@nadeemakhter9021]

Is there any reason to use Beta now?

[@Ceres1038]

I've been using the Generative Fill in Beta for a while to remove items because it generates a higher resolution fill than other tools, so I'm glad its in Photoshop 2024. But I really like the new gradient tools you demonstrated. I can see how you could use them to create a lighted area in my landscape shots. Thanks

[@SkylerB]

when i used the generative fill it keeps showing me where i did with with a very rough blending. is there a way to feather the edges from the generative fill selections?

[@photoshopcafe]

Give it more space to work with make selections overlapping more

[@adejones2340]

When I open a picture to work on, the Layers panel doesn't show automatically, how do I go about this so it automatically is ticked? - Love the generative fill now on PS and not the Beta

Is there a way to update where that doesn't happen? It's a pain to have to reinstall everything each year. Thanks for your help in advance.

Followed your instructions but there is no new update showing, it says updated 2 days ago but does not say photoshop24 it says photoshop v25.0 up to date. When I select an object like you did with the camera the generate fill selection doesn't show, just a bar pops up like yours but now other option. I'm in the UK, is our update delayed do you know? Thanks.

[@photoshopcafe]

V25 is 2024. The bar shows different options depending on selected tool

When attempting your gradient tool demo, I never get the "light" like you do. I have everything set the same way that you do, but I only get the circle when I attempt to drag the circle, no matter the size. It only stays dark. Any suggestions? Thanks

@photoshopcafe ok will try that ty for your response

[@robsmith6794]

From what I understand if you're on the Photo Plan with Adobe you get 250 generative fills per month after which you will be charged ( I believe the charging starts from November). From what I've experienced so far the result aren't that good and you will use up a credit each time, even if the results are poor. Also to get around the resolution problem it will be necessary to use a lot of the generative fill credits. So if you do a lot of editing it's possible to go over your limit and be charged.

[@MONTY-YTNOM]

Where did you read that ?

[@robsmith6794]

Nathan Cool Photography. Also if you look at the payment plans on your Adobe account it shows how many generative fills you're entitled to. If you have the full Creative Cloud suite you have 1000 per month@@MONTY-YTNOM

[@margaretwood1255]

generative fill and the ability to add objects are my 2 favorites. Great video, thanks

[@jamesabke5851]

Great update Colin thank you! Is there any way to reveal the generative fill layers only? My thought is to export those layers and use a third-party program like Topaz to increase the resolution of the generative fill layers to match the original image. Any thoughts on that process?

[@photoshopcafe]

Duplicate layer to new document. Hmm, maybe a good topic for a future tutorial :)

[@avnerbenzvi8757]

The generative fill is my absolute favourite here, and to have it in the regular PS is so good - that means that my other plug-ins also work. And the removetool is still awsome. Photoshop gets better and better and I love it more than ever. Allways has....

[@photoshopcafe]

Thanks so much. I try to keep it on topic :)

[@FotomakerAcademy]

Oh thank god they did a "sticky" pin for the contextual taskbar!!! Thx for requesting that. Does Ps still have a 'common programs' folder for plugins that carries installed filters forward to Ps 2024? Someone at the Topaz forum said they had to manually copy/paste their PAI to the plugins folder in Ps 2024... I always think about your tips (maybe from LFL) for backing up b4 annual updates!

[@BruceRichardsonMusic]

The resolution issue is baffling. It makes the feature difficult to use. I would have expected that to be worked out by the time the beta became release version.

[@photoshopcafe]

They say on the Adobe site, high res is coming

[@GeorgeJoVassilatos]

my remove tool don't work. it says that to wait to download and go to previous tool. What is that ?

[@titchthephot]

I currently use the Beta version so can I now start using the 2024 update or stick with Beta for a bit longer?

[@photoshopcafe]

Use 2024, and check beta for other features that may come along if you are interested in that. Don't worry, Ill make vids and let you know when new features are there

[@titchthephot]

Will do, thanks.

[@txduggan]

Great video, Colin, thank you. What about "patterns"? The white brick got a little wonky after applying the Remove Tool. Yes, we can repair that with "old school" techniques. LOL Sometimes, I've re-applied the Remove Tool, and the pattern fixes itself. Sometimes it does not. ;) Just an observation. I really enjoy these!!!

Can generative fill be 'guided' to use files or objects in files you have stored locally on the same computer? Or is it just using Adobes stock references?

[@mattmarket5642]

No, it can’t. It’s not photo-bashing an existing image into your image. It uses the AI process of diffusion to create brand new images. The AI model was trained on Adobe Stock, so it only learned from what it saw there.

[@photoshopcafe]

You can't train Gen Fill with your own images

[@vrcil]

Dear Colin Smith Thanks again for a wonderful tutorial.👍♥

[@photoshopcafe]

Happy to help!

[@filmalltay]

with a clean-results resolution on generative fill capped to 1024x1024, does that mean those pixels can be allocated differently? Say, 1524x524? Or does it cap the resolution to 1024 no matter what the other dimension is?

[@photoshopcafe]

I believe it’s a max width or height in a block, so changing aspect ratio probably won’t yield any benefits

[@filmalltay]

good to know and thanks for the quick reply!@@photoshopcafe

[@pedzsan]

Thank you for the video. The only feature I see that looks interesting is the generative fill so if I miss the crop during the shot and I need more sky (for example), the generative fill would help me out. I can’t think of a realistic use case for me of replacing objects with other objects.

[@mamabravo100]

generative fill dose not work. If tried everything. PS is up to date. I can select, but it dose not give me the option to replace (AI)

[@mamabravo100]

never mind i figured it out!

[@cartridgepad]

using generative fill gives me a noticable line at the edge of the original image so you have to kind of smudge and blend in the edges.

[@erik1836]

Is the line due to the resolution differential between the original and the generate iterations? It is, I know, if you zoom in easy to see the resolution disparity, but I have never seen an actual "line".

[@dunnymonster]

An easier fix is to go to the generative fill layer mask, click on it and apply some gaussian blur. This will soften the transition between the generative fill Layer and your other pixel layers 😉

[@ianperryman1078]

They should overlap. The generated fill needs to be ABOVE the layer you used to generate the fill for the overlap to work. For example if you have layer 1 then make a duplicate layer, let's call it layer 2. (which appears above layer 1). If you then generate from layer 1 the generated layer will be above layer one but below layer 2 Layer 2 will be above the generated fill and you see the edge. Turn off layer 2 and the edge disappears because the generated layer overlaps layer 1.

[@ImpeRiaLismus]

It's not like this in the beta. Or at least it doesn't happen as often.

[@cartridgepad]

@@erik1836 its not a "line" per say but you can clearly see where the original image stops and the generative fill begins, maybe a resolution issue as said below and i am using the gaussian blur method to get rid of it but its not perfect. i will try the other methods below aswell thank you.!

I don't want my images "in the cloud," one of my PSBs is 95 gigglebites, but presets and actions and similar should always be there so they're automatically available, in their latest versions, on any computer I have active for CC. It sort of broke Google Drive, because there's where I accidentally saved it. In the beta, I tried GF on an image I straightened by a couple of degrees, I saw the fuzzy perimeter and chose none of the options, but still it was tagged that I had used GF. Not happy!

[@drunkentre]

Generative fill is good, but there needs to be a way to save the generated image and to apply that to another image. For example, a rum product shot where you generate a background of a beach with people sun bathing. Then you have another coconut rum which was shot later in the year but you want the same background. If there was a way to apply the elements and have it blend, that would be perfect.
