5 Secret Tips for Generative Fill in Photoshop #nucly

Rickard introduces the tutorial's focus on the generative fill tool in Photoshop Beta. He provides a brief overview of five creative techniques that will be covered, starting with creating a mushroom ice cream image. The process involves using the 'Select Subject' feature to isolate the mushrooms, refining the selection with 'Select and Mask,' and adjusting color to match the ice cream. The tutorial also mentions a link in the video description for downloading assets used in the tutorial.

The second paragraph demonstrates how to blend two images using the generative fill tool. Rickard shows how to select and blend mushrooms and ice cream to create a seamless image. He also addresses a common issue with the beta version of Photoshop, where the tool may falsely trigger a violation error. To resolve this, he suggests providing minimal prompts to the tool to utilize contextual information for better results.

In the third paragraph, Rickard discusses the importance of adding context to images before using the generative fill tool, particularly when working with complex scenes like incorporating large koi fish into an ocean scene. He illustrates how to refine selections and use blending options to make the fish appear submerged in water. The paragraph emphasizes the impact of context on the AI's ability to generate desired results.

The fourth paragraph covers the use of generative fill to create a fake depth of field effect. Rickard explains how to separate the subject from the background and then apply a blur effect to simulate a shallow depth of field. He demonstrates how to avoid the halo effect that typically occurs when blurring an already focused image and shows how to retain the reflection in the background for a more realistic result.

Rickard explores the concept of selection intensity in the fifth paragraph, showing how the strength of the initial selection can influence the generative fill's blending with the existing image. He uses an example of placing a woman frozen under ice and adjusts the selection's opacity to achieve a more natural integration of the new element into the scene.

The sixth paragraph focuses on using generative fill to create seamless backgrounds and patterns, which are essential for 3D environments or composites. Rickard demonstrates how to manipulate an image to remove visible seams and use the tool to fill in areas that ensure a smooth transition across the entire image. He also shows how to create a seamless brick pattern that can be used without visible repeats.
