Adobe’s Generative Fill AI features are changing the game, but for some people, it’s been nothing but a disappointment. See how you can enable the feature if it is grayed out on your computer.
Generative Fill is part of the new hotness of Adobe Photoshop that comes as a result of the efforts of Adobe Firefly and Sensei artificial intelligence (AI). The company released Photoshop with generative AI features (gen AI), available to anyone with a Creative Cloud subscription.
After some digging, I found that the graying problem can be fixed, but it’s definitely not intuitively obvious. Here’s how to enable Generative Fill on your updated computer if it’s greyed out.
Adobe Photoshop Cc (2023) Review
The easiest way to make sure you’re running the right version is to select System Info from the Help menu. You should see a screen like this.
Also, make sure you’re logged into the Creative Cloud desktop app. We’ll come back to this in a bit, so it helps if you’re logged in.
To test this, you must have a file open and a raster layer selected. You must also have a selection drawn with the lasso or selection tool around a body of pixels in your image.
If you’ve done both of these things, and you still have the options below greyed out, then it’s time for a fix.
Generative Fill In Photoshop (beta) Hands-on: Digital Photography Review
This is the oddest requirement. Apparently, you can’t use the new Generative Fill feature until you’ve shared some personally identifiable information with the Adobe Behance cloud service. I, personally, do not use Behance. Apparently, most people who use Photoshop also don’t use it. On the other hand, Behance users will have already shared their confidential information with the service and will be able to access the Photoshop Generative Fill AI feature.
Don’t start on services, doctors, and anyone else who stops access unless you give your personal information. Big companies just don’t seem to respect keeping people’s identities safe. This is not a paranoid concern. Adobe, on two separate occasions in 2013 and 2019, was breached and lost confidential information of 38 million and 7.5 million users to hackers.
But now you know the cautionary concerns about sharing your birthday, here’s how to share your birthday and unlock the Generative Fill feature. From within the Creative Cloud Apps tab, scroll down and click Behance in the lower left.
Assuming you’re willing to risk sharing your personal information with Adobe for access to Generative Fill, provide Behance with your month and year of birth. For those who don’t use the service, Behance is a social media platform that lets you showcase your work to other Adobe users. So, of course, he becomes the keeper for a new AI feature… because… I’m sure there were meetings.
Fix Photoshop Generative Fill Not Showing Up (quick Tutorial)
In any case, once you enter your information, stop Photoshop and relaunch. Now, you will have Generative Fill enabled.
It fills in areas you select with AI-generated images. In my testing, it’s hit or miss, but here’s a pretty impressive example. Let’s start with a photo of a truck I took a while ago:
As you can see, there is no driver. I selected the front and side windows, and when I clicked Generative Fill, I gave him the prompt “driver inside a truck.” Here’s what Photoshop provided:
He did something strange to the side mirror and also added someone inside the truck. Notice how good the shadow is on the driver’s arm. That is impressive.
