Generative Fill is a game changer in PS

[Ferrets are Cool]

I've been playing around with the newest feature in Photoshop and am honestly speechless. It can do things that I've only dreamed about in my almost 30 years of using PS. It will enable me to clean up my images in a manner which was previously impossible.
If you are a PS user, go and get the Beta version and play around with this.

3. As I have stated many times, I shoot RE...

between 3-5 houses every day. Sometimes, there are things that do not need to be in the picture...that I have no control over. Sometimes cars are left in driveways, boxes are in bedrooms, exercise equipment in the living area, etc.
I have been able to remove these things remarkably well since using GI.
I have generally been against artists using AI to "create" images from the work of others, but for me, this is different. I am able to remove distracting items from an image. Who knows, it might make the difference between some fickle prospective buyer visiting the listing or not visiting.

5. This is my first experiment using it

A photo I had not attempted to remove the tree, just because the photo didn't deserve the amount of time it would have taken, this took 30 seconds, and I'm satisfied with the result. I did try some others that gave a somewhat comical output however.

4. I will use this tool a lot.

I shot Kodachrome 64 for 40 years in hopes of making quality enlargements. I also used every squqre mm of the 36x24 mm format.
As a result I crop way too tight which leaves no room for creative cropping. I've gotten pretty good at enlaging the canvas and using the clone brush to fill it in but that's limiting.

6. I hear you

I shot KR25, Agfa 50 and Velvia. Had to compose to the format.
Had an art store manager tell me that photographers tended to be slaves to their format.
For small frame shooters, and transparency shots I had to largely agree with him.

Now with digital, the 'canvas' has been modified. Still it is better to take as good as shot as posible first.

7. I cannot count the number of hours I've spent doing this

pixel by pixel.

It's about time! lol

Way up in the mountains.

it blows me away. It's that good.
