Adobe on Tuesday has unveiled a new feature in Photoshop called ‘Generative Fill‘—rather an upgraded version of ‘Content-Aware’—that can extend an image with more accuracy and uses text prompts to create imagery at an instant.

The said feature is now in beta and will be out to the public later this year.

Generative Fill not only adds or extends an image, but it does so by matching the lighting. perspective, or style of the image you’re editing. This results in stunning images that would take a long time to achieve manually.

Additionally, users can use text prompts to add or remove objects, and all edits are done in layers for easy adjustment.

See the AI magic yourself with a video showcase below:

Although OpenAI’s Dall-E has gained attention for its ability to turn text prompts into images, it has not been widely adopted by large corporations due to legal concerns regarding the data used to train the system.

Adobe is seeking to address such concerns with their own system, Firefly, developed using legal-to-use image data and can be used in commercial settings.

Adobe asserts that Firefly is the sole AI service that produces professional-grade content for commercial use because it employs Adobe Stock images in its training.

In a press release, the company also mentioned that they will be adding Content Credentials to created works, which ensures people would know if a piece of content was created by a human, generated by AI, or with the help of AI.

The Content Authenticity Initiative, founded by Adobe and now with over 1,000 members, developed Content Credentials. This serves like “nutrition facts” for digital content and remain associated with the content wherever it is used, published, or stored. Content Credentials enable proper attribution and assist consumers in making informed decisions about digital content.

According to Ely Greenfield, the chief technology officer for digital media at Adobe, the new Generative Fill tool is not intended to replace graphic artists but to speed up their work by generating images from multiple ideas.

The tool eliminates the need for artists to spend hours scouring for content and manually stitching together existing images.

You can currently access the Generative Fill feature of Photoshop in the desktop beta app, and it is expected to be available for the public in the second half of 2023. Generative Fill is also available as a module within the Firefly beta app.

If creativity and wit sometimes leave JM's system, watching films, anime and a good stroll for memes are his approved therapeutic claims.
