Essential Tips for Generative Fill Success

  • Make your selection slightly larger than the object you want to generate — this gives Photoshop room to blend the new content naturally with surrounding areas
  • Use specific, descriptive prompts that include details about style, materials, colors, and actions rather than generic descriptions
  • Create precise selections when you need specific shapes or orientations — draw the approximate outline of complex objects like teapots or furniture
  • Start with simpler prompts and regenerate with more descriptive words if the first results don't match your vision
  • Position your selection carefully from the start since moving generated content later is more difficult than getting the location right initially
