What is Generative Fill?
Advanced AI inpainting that allows text-prompted content generation within selected regions of an image. Combines selection tools with generative AI.
How it works
Generative fill extends traditional content-aware fill by allowing you to describe what should appear in the selected region using a text prompt. Instead of just filling based on context, you can specify new content: 'add a red chair', 'replace with a sunset sky', 'make this area look like marble'. This combines the precision of manual selection with the creative capability of generative AI. Adobe Photoshop and several AI tools offer generative fill features.
