PHOTOSHOP BETA (Photos To ART) Tips and Tricks (Generative Fill)

[@StephenEhrlichPhotos]

Like you, I had seen a few basic KZbin videos about the quickmask at 30% tip. Now I watch your amazing tutorial and you took those tips way beyond their basic tip. I am very glad you are my Number 1 channel for post processing techniques. In this tutorial, you simplified the explanation on the core basic tip; next you added 1000 times the ideas on how to get great results. All with your excellent presentation skills. Please keep experimenting and giving up more enhanced tips, all delivered in you easy to follow and use presentation style.

Great tips and tutorial, would love to see more of these videos

[@jwrooker1950]

Great video! I've been using blend modes to add in some of the detail of the original photo when creating pencil sketches and oil paintings. I find Darken, Lighten and Screen modes to be the most useful.

[@jorgepm62]

Estupendo video Dave!! Estoy esperando con impaciencia el siguiente!!

[@lesliebyrne801]

Outstanding work. Cannot wait to watch more of your videos!

[@KenToney]

Love this Dave!! I think as time goes by we will figure out tips and tricks that even Adobe doesn’t know yet (this always happens!)

[@kenmorris2858]

Great tips and tutorial, would love to see more of this stuff. Cheers from Nova Scotia.

[@billsaffin5239]

Fantastic and inspiring, Dave. I would love to see more like this.

[@almasankey5251]

Mind blowing. As an 82 year old who has been absent from Photoshop for a year or so I am totally inspired to learn anew. Tnank you.. Almaknack

[@branchau]

Amazing, just amazing! Yes, I would like more videos about this.

[@photoman52beta]

This is the best video covering painting with generative fill. Thanks a ton!

[@alstroemeria1031]

Lots of fun Dave. Thanks

[@stanleyjacobson2617]

Thank you Dave. Once again this is most helpful. You are now the Man of Many Actions!!! All the best.

[@richardcohen6206]

Thanks Dave. You have taught my a lot. I appreciate all your videos.

[@richganzel9248]

Great video, thank you for sharing!

[@photonsonpixels]

Great tutorial Dave! Thank you.

[@stephensakai1081]

Fun tutorial. Thanks for the action.

[@myraposner486]

Thank you! I love the possibilities!

[@patrech9996]

I had to go back to using this older action today as the newest version of photoshop beta does not play well with your replacement action, this action works like a charm again. Not sure what happened in the latest beta upgraded version, but your original action now works well again.

[@m.anneblack2908]

Thanks so much for showing us how to use generative fill with an artistic flavor.

[@Amazombe]

that's a really unique tutorial on Gen Fill! Thank you!

[@hedibrouwers2848]

Thank you Dave, another great and informative video.

[@bySterling]

Fantastic extra tips that yes I hadn’t seen in other vid either! Awesome Action sir 🎉👏🏻💯

[@bySterling]

GRT idea about mixed media and amazing samples

[@AZJack]

Thank you! Can’t wait to try it. Great video!

[@janetcahill4891]

Thanks Dave always love your tutorials! More like this would be great.

[@ellenmillar315]

So very cool, love it.

[@creatiw]

Man your videos are sooo good. Thank you so much. 🔥

[@royceahr]

Thanks for the tips...

[@marleneandrew9013]

Thank you. YES more please.

[@paulwoodward3453]

Dave, Thank you for this video. I appreciate your dedication experimenting with the use of Photoshop and other tools to create art. I've seen several other tutorials using the same method of creating painterly versions using Adobe's Generative Fill. Yor pushed it to the next level by suggesting the use of Adobe Firefly as style prompts. I am sure 3 weeks from now, you or someone else will have improved on what you have shown today. I just did a pencil sketch which looks fantastic. I play around with the blend modes with every AI Generated "Art Fill". I usually like a different blend mode than the default Normal Blend mode. Thank you for the Action, a nice time saver. But here is my point, there are many actions and templates that allow one to created different artistic painterly effects. I find these infinitely more effective than the method above, at this time, because of the ability to greatly customize the initial effect. Take water color effects for example. I can customize the original output at least a 50-75 different ways from the original generated output. With Adobe's Generated Fill, at this point, you pretty get what it produces without many options to change or adjust the original output. Adobe, being a top tier company may eventually incorporate sophisticate adjustment features. My hope is that it pushes the current innovators and creators to stay a "step ahead". So that is my rant for today, but it may change tomorrow.

[@thejoyofeditingwithdavekelly]

You're welcome Paul and a very good rant.

[@m.anneblack2908]

It looks like this new feature is going to open up all kinds of creative future 😃😃 Thank you for the idea in this tutorial - and the actions 😊😊

[@johnbarney8051]

Dave, absolutely amazing!!! I love ALL of your education. And YES, I would love to see more of these. The possibilities seem limitless. Can only imagine combing this with TK8 and Topaz Studio 2. Maybe Art Wednesdays would rival TK Fridays. Too excited for Generative Fill to make it out of Beta.

[@thejoyofeditingwithdavekelly]

More to come!

[@joesclafani3488]

Very well done, sir. Clearly explained and demonstrated

[@thejoyofeditingwithdavekelly]

Glad it was helpful!

[@eightwheels]

Thank you so much for the action! It works great and really simplifies the process. Very, very cool!

[@thejoyofeditingwithdavekelly]

Glad you like it!

[@myinternetzoo]

Thanks for the education.

[@labatalain9914]

excellentissime, merci beaucoup

[@arizonaphotoboothrentals603]

Excellent!

[@Mimiclobster]

Lots of goodies in this tutorial Dave. Thx. Particularly like the mask trick to do media rather than alpha channel.

[@newjersey1029]

great job

[@cool4fam99]

very cool! i tried it in the current PS version (not beta) & it worked fine. thanks for good video

[@briannab4770]

Damn, really? Not mine. Which version are you running?

[@cool4fam99]

@@briannab4770 hi. PS 25.7 is the version

[@BubbleGendut]

Not sure what the 30% fill mask does in this process? On a normal paint layer it reduces opacity of the paint strokes is that the intent? Seems to act like a Blend Mode and paint brightness is dependant on background layer color.

[@Woici]

Thank you!

[@WilliamWallaceRoss]

Wow! 2024 is going to be fun.

[@markdemarte6744]

Dave, can you share with me a link to get to the Firefly artistic styles that you mentioned in today's KZbin?

[@thejoyofeditingwithdavekelly]

Here is the link to Adobe Firefly: firefly.adobe.com

[@WilliamTuckerpixs]

Good tutorial. You should put together something for doing it with a person that you took the portrait of yourself. I've been playing around with it and I've got a pretty good technique, but I'd like to see what you can come up with

[@thejoyofeditingwithdavekelly]

That's a great idea!

[@WilliamTuckerpixs]

​@@thejoyofeditingwithdavekelly I don't know if there's a way to attach a file or not, but I could show you what I came up with and you can probably figure out a way to make it better

[@thejoyofeditingwithdavekelly]

William click on my Contact Me Link in the description and I will email you back and then you can send it via email.

[@WilliamTuckerpixs]

I can't seem to find it the link that is

[@thejoyofeditingwithdavekelly]

You have to click on "More or Show More" or show more to open the description. You will find the link at the bottom of the Description.

[@flyfishfotofan]

Thanks!

[@thejoyofeditingwithdavekelly]

Thanks for the Super Thanks.

[@jonglaser4468]

owls have a face????LOL This tutorial is different then one with the tk gen fill panel. Did you change your methods based upon that panel?

[@thejoyofeditingwithdavekelly]

I can't remember.

[@simoharjane7823]

wow !!

[@LightsOnMultiMediaMindArts]

Great tips! I will pick a bone with the title though. Photography is art--or can be. A better title might be "Photo to Natural Media" or something like that.

[@benosborne413]

Great Video. Don't know whet i am doing wrong, but the action is not working

[@thejoyofeditingwithdavekelly]

Make sure you open up the folder and click on the folder inside that say Photo To Art and then click the play button. Also, it may be that you don't see the Contextual Task Bar. If you don't click on Window in the Photoshop Menu Bar. Scroll to near the bottom and Check On the Contextual Tool Bar. When you run the action nothing will happen until you put in a prompt in the Contextual task bar.

[@dannyobyrne500]

Where can I download the action please Dave

[@thejoyofeditingwithdavekelly]

@@dannyobyrne500 It is in the Description of the video. You will have to click on “More” or “Show More” and you will find a Drop Box Link where you can download the Action.

[@wernerwoska8825]

This kind of art is not my cup of tea. But the ability of PS is amazing. And so is your tutorial, Dave, thank you!

[@craftheavenco]

I’ve tried 20 and 10% brightness and the results have more detail

[@thejoyofeditingwithdavekelly]

It does pay to experiment.

[@craftheavenco]

@@thejoyofeditingwithdavekelly definitely thank you!

[@dannylaureys1376]

Sorry, but I do not use Photoshop Beta, the last thing I need is another photoshop program on my computer. If it's not in photoshop I don't use it. Adobe needs to put all these upgrades in photoshop

[@b991228]

What an ungodly curse!

[@anksunamen]

This has to be probably the worst tutorial for regenerative fill I have come across. It just makes everything abstract despite numerous regenerates. Just wasted 20 minutes of my life. Does it only paint owls I ask myself as it can't paint my cat.

[@jessicawinslet684]

What peculiar accent ... what is that accent?

[@thejoyofeditingwithdavekelly]

Standard Old "Pittsburghese".

[@robertmccullough2981]

So no need for talent anymore.

[@billjohnson7534]

Excellent!!
