How to Change any Background in Photoshop using NEW AI Generative Fill 

Adobe will be the next Kodak, shoot one self in the leg ! . ( kodak invented digital camera and caused the end of it's own film business empire )

Hmmm, agree with some other comments. Very clever toy but very tacky and no professional photographers I know who have tried this have decided to use it.

There are strong differences in color and brightness. Probably, many will warm their hands on this instrument by making the same videos about working with it.. Wait two years until everyone calms down and something of substance begins to appear.

IDK how you copied and pasted to fix wonky lasso selection. I have been trying to fix my mermaid subjects hand after changing the background in beta but it continues to make it look very distorted. idk how to copy/paste please help

I don't see beta in my App menu? I have Creative Cloud, it should be there right?

8:57 - refining the image quality

Hopefully in future versions it will leave the hands and feet alone.

How to add a background image like your video background 😅

Just started using this! Is everyone else putting their errands aside and obsessively trying this????My plan is to shoot in the old fashioned film style and also incorporate this new tech for my new work...best of both worlds! Good luck everybody. Like it or not AI is here to stay! Thank you for an excellent video ...ill subscribe...I also fixed a user issue from watching this....pretty and smart...is that fair?

One thing about this is that this doesn’t replace photographers. The average person isn’t going to fully understand what this can do and how to get the most out of it and know how to work around its limitations. I’m ready to be blown away by what is created using these tools.

how did you subtract the grass with lasso tool

Thank you SO much for this tutorial! I have a question - I keep getting stuck at about 8 minutes and 40 seconds into your video where you isolate the subject (copy and paste) it into a layer so it doesn't get distorted once the background is checked. I do not understand how to copy and paste in photoshop. Thank you!!!!

Where can I download that software with ai

This is great! But is the quality good enough for print? Or is it like Midjourney? I’d LOVE a video on how to edit AI images for print quality. Even after upscaling (via Topaz) I struggle with this… thx again!!

Mind blowing.. well explained. Once I go to beta version..how I go back if I Don't wann beta version??

Hi I like them all.I bought your ebook on 20 Photoshop Retouching Tips and will you add these new tips to your book so we can download the updated book?

Thanks for this really great clear explanation. Can you tell me how to replace the background with generative fill using my own background image please?

Thanks so much for your videos. You are a wonderful teacher. I appreciate your clarity and your speed of delivery is perfect, not too slow or fast.

you are such a good teacher I can even understand it

Kristina, thanks for all the new videos on Photoshop Beta. Everyone is doing Beta tutorials but for me, a photoshop beginner now that I'm a retiree, your videos are the easiest of to follow because you explain cause (the tool and location) and effect. Others just rush and we, mouse over followers, can't figure out what is being done. Thanks again for the videos and I did subscribe this week, too. Ps advice for your book, do like in CNN interviews and have it on your desk standing proud toward the camera.

love from pakistan

Can I replace the background with one I have on my MacBook?

Thank you Kristina for the 4 vids today. Very helpful. I'd love to tell you what I am doing with this. Just downloaded the book. All the best.

Hi , can you please share a video on how to duplicate a background that you like from generative fill? I am trying to use the same for several pictures and can’t figure it out.

I have tried changing the background using this tutorial. It worked beautifully! My question is how to import from Lightroom and how to then save back to Lightroom or to my computer?

The issue I have is that this only works with one picture. For example if I want to edit multiple pictures to look the same. AI will take the same words and create a new idea. Or if you want to change an outfit to match the previous AI option to the next picture Ai chose something different

can you please explain how you used the lassso tool when you fixed her nose .. coz my selection gets deselected

Kristina, All of the new AI features are amazing. I love your coverage of the new features. One of the things I would like to see from you is a video that discusses on-line requirements of AI features. With Generative especially, internet access is essential. AI needs to have something to work with. But this also applies with the other AI features. AI Select Object also uses an internet connection to work optimally. If you are not connected, it will work but may not work as effectively. Which AI features require internet and which ones can work without internet and how well will the AI features work with out internet? I understand that Adobe is taking the highroad with Generative AI and only using their Adobe stock images to avoid copyright issues and to make sure artists are compensated. So that is nice. It also means I don’t have to worry about generating something that is copyrighted. I would like to see a discussion what the internet connection requirements are.

What has this got to do with photography? Other than heralding the end of what we recognize as photography?

I got the bar, but it does not contain the Generative Fill in the bar. How do I get that one?

You forgot to mention that you included a small slice of the left edge of the original image when you wanted to expand the background.

Absolutely amazing! However, I've been an avid student of Photoshop for years, learning compositing, and other cool techniques. A skill I was proud to know. Not everyone could do this. Adobe has now made it so easy to create stunning images and composites with absolutely no skill required, prompting me, (no pun intended), to question, Why did I learn all those techniques and skills over the years if the end result is something any novice can replicate in seconds by typing a description.

If it is in the beta version I'm not interested, I do not need another version of photoshop on my computer

Something wrong with your screen resolution, it looks stretched in RU-vid

Incredible!!! I prefer the removing everything and changing backgrounds! And extending backgrounds!

I have just joined your family, fantastic video and even if it wasn’t I would still wanna to watch you clearly very talented. Thanks for sharing. ❤

I didn’t see generate fill on my task bar,what did I do wrong?

Excellent video…❤ Thank you

My favorites are removing and adding tools.. Thanks for very informative videos among others..

This is not photography

SO helpful using one program using AI while creating! Love the emerald dress with the castle, incredible!

thank you

Hi there do you have any link to view tour images. Thank you

Excellent and succinct presentation. . . thanks.

We can't trust photographic evidence of ANYTHING anymore. These are so good! You've blown my mind about what can be done now with a few loose strokes and a descriptive vocabulary. I love your teaching style -- clear, concise and quick.

I especially loverd your detailed descriptions.

Thank you for this instructional video. I was having difficulty having the generative AI mess up the subject, and you kind of skipped over the steps to copying the original subject mask to. new layer. When I try to copy the AI mask to a new layer it creates a new layer with a new mask. Could you please walk through those steps for me?

the question for me is can we use our own background/images for the change as i can't seem to access my library for higher res backgrounds and i'm unable to make corrections yet with the selected mask but otherwise i love it.

Thank you for this tutorial! I have two questions. I was reading the Adobe Generative AI Beta User Guidelines and it says "No Commercial Use". As a portrait photographer, does that mean if I use Beta I can't give the images to my paid clients? I use Lightroom for quick editing and then I do detailed editing in Photoshop (from Lightroom I open into Photoshop). Since Beta is a separate app, will I have to open the image in Photoshop, save, and reopen in Beta?

Great job covering the new features. They are clear and accurate and appreciated.

What's the shortcut used to paste the selection at the end? I'm using a Mac. Thanks!

what about when it doesn't select correctly? I can't get it so I can add to the selection

Hi , How to you copy and past the pixel to the layer, im having a hard time with that , ?

Do I really now have to know how to spell ?!

Removing or extending backgrounds it works fine but anyone telling you it does a good job guess what stock pics to slap in your background is getting paid. It doesn't even match your images resolution or quality so you get stretched or garbled images. I see nobody is zooming in to show those selection jobs it's doing badly either. If you have to spend time cleaning up what it doesn't get right, then it's not doing the job.

Thank you very much

Feels like cheating or not realy learning anymore

Thanks for these four videos!

Is any new AI process of a photograph considered photography or art. If what you have done here is printed, can it legally be called a photograph by the photographer or should it be called Art by the artist. It is defiantly a game changer for the photographic enthusiast. But as a professional photographer, I would only use it add small decretive items to enhance the original photo.

good info but half the video was wasted on pointed chatter. also you do not need to just be connected to WiFI, you need to be connected to the internet, these are not the same thing

Dang! This shark is legit! way to go KS!

Helpful videos, well done!

Love it! No link for Beta version....

Great text on generator bar

Amazing!

Great video. Just what I needed. Also I love how you set up your room. Spacious, modern, great video resolution! Thx

Your videos are highly enlightening. Amazing! Looking forward to exploring the new features.
