Photoshop CC Beta - AI Generative Fill

[Chris]

Here is an interesting 27 min video by Brian Matiash showing what AI Generative fill in Photoshop CC beta can do. Its amazing!

I have no plans to subscribe to Photoshop CC, but I do hope that in the future Adobe will consider introducing at least some AI functionality in PS Elements.

Chris,

Adobe has already done it. Here are just a few examples of AI-powered features available in more recent Elements versions.

Replace background
Extend background
Object removal
Perfect landscape
Artistic effects

Thanks, Chris. Sadly, the more I see about these features the less appealing they seem to me. Reading the comments my feelings are more inline with Jerry Gowins response to the video.

Additionally concerning is that a photo that I once used for a short time on FB appears in a bubble for comments.

Thank you Sepiana, that is good to know.  Evidently, I am missing some of these features in PSE 2020. Maybe its time I upgraded. I will see what PSE 2024 has to offer when it is released later in the year!

Kind regards
Chris

Thanks for sharing your thoughts Helen. I went back to read Jerry Gowins post. I can appreciate the points being made; those using AI should be honest in the way they use it. Sadly, I hear many news reports of AI being used in the wrong way.  

However, I am amazed how modern photo editing software can be used to create artistic content or save time editing when compared to  the "old fashioned" way. 

Kind regards

PS It must be very disconcerting to see your picture is appearing without your permission. I am not sure why this is happening but I found some links that may shed some light.  Facebook support may have some solutions.  I hope you manage to get it sorted.

Thanks, Chris. I appreciate your response. I continue to be interested in seeing what these tools can do even though I don't expect to use them.
I think it is important to be able to express a different point of view and know your position will be respected.

I have checked my FB privacy settings and made some adjustments.

I'm with you, Helen.  While the technology itself is impressive, I find it's capabilities disconcerting.

To me, it is replacing photography as an art form and rather than rescue or tweak photos, it means you can create them from scratch or make such major changes that they are no longer what they started out as.

And to think it's in its infancy is like looking back at Windows 3.1 with 256 colours and MS Paint, compared to what we have now.

Alas, it's inevitable I think.  There are no good examples of technology being rolled back or stopped that I can think of. 

In this instance, I'm proud to be a Luddite .

Agree!
