See that rectangle at the top? That’s my original photo. Well, almost. Check out the original, original photo below. The rest is generative fill. The original image was both extended and redrawn using Photoshop (Beta).
And, it’s done in high-resolution. No puny 500 px x 500 px Ai images anymore.
Original Photograph
Edited in Photoshop with Generative Fill
To me, that’s exciting. And scary. And thought-provoking. Zoom in. Tell me I’m not imagining this, but I feel that the quality is astounding. Has Adobe (via Photoshop) just toasted the entire stock image industry?
I’ve been thinking about how easy it was to create this image. I simply two-clicked my way through the creation of the majority of this piece, only having to write in descriptive text prompts for the finer details, like “crow” and carefully selecting the area to generate the detail. The whole process took about four hours.
Is it art? Is it photoshopping? Is it something you can use to illustrate your products and services? I’d say yes to it all.
If you want to add finer detail, just select an area, select Generative Fill from the Edit menu, and type in a description. In this example, I added a flock of quail in diffused low light. It took three attempts (about 5 minutes) to get the birds on the dirt road looking decent.
