How to use Generative Fill in Photoshop

Photoshop has a feature called “Content-Aware Fill” that allows you to fill or remove elements from an image intelligently.

Using Content-Aware Fill:

1. Open Your Image:
   • Open the image in Photoshop that you want to work on.
2. Select the Area to Fill:
   • Use a selection tool (such as the Lasso Tool, Marquee Tool, or Magic Wand) to select the area you want to fill.
3. Go to Edit > Content-Aware Fill:
   • With the selected area, go to Edit > Content-Aware Fill.
4. Adjust Settings in the Content-Aware Fill Workspace:
   • The Content-Aware Fill workspace will open, allowing you to make adjustments:
     • Sampling Area: Photoshop automatically samples from the surrounding areas to fill the selected region. Adjust the sampling area if needed.
     • Output Settings: Choose “New Layer” to create a new layer with the filled content or choose “Duplicate Layer” to replace the existing content.
     • Color Adaptation: Adjusts the color blending of the filled area.
     • Rotation Adaptation: Adjusts the rotation of the filled content.
     • Scale Adaptation: Adjusts the scale of the filled content.
5. Preview and Apply:
   • Click the “Generate Fill” button to preview the result. If you’re satisfied, click “OK” to apply the fill.
6. Review the Result:
   • After applying the Content-Aware Fill, review the result and make additional adjustments if necessary.
7. Finish and Save:
   • Once you’re satisfied with the filled area, finish the process and save your image.

Remember that the features and interfaces in Photoshop may change with newer versions, so it’s always a good idea to refer to the latest official documentation for the most accurate and up-to-date information. If “Generative Fill” is a new feature introduced after my last update, I recommend checking the latest release notes or documentation from Adobe.
