Adobe has introduced a new AI feature called ‘Generative Expand’ in Photoshop, which allows users to expand images beyond their original aspect ratios. This feature, powered by Firefly-based technology, enables users to seamlessly expand and resize any image using the Crop tool. By clicking “Generate”, the empty space in the image is filled with AI-generated content that blends naturally with the existing image.
This new feature streamlines the workflow in Photoshop, making it faster and more intuitive for users to create and ideate using Generative AI. Whether the subject is cut off, the image is not in the desired aspect ratio, or an object is misaligned, Generative Expand can be used to expand the canvas and achieve the desired image. The generated content can be added with or without a text prompt.
Without a prompt, users simply need to click “Generate” in the Contextual Task Bar, and Photoshop will automatically fill in the expanded canvas with seamlessly blended generated content. When using a prompt, the entered content will be included in the expanded image. Users can then choose their preferred variation, and the expanded image will be added as a non-destructive layer.
This new feature allows users to spend less time on editing and more time on experimenting and adapting images to their creative needs. Additionally, Adobe has announced that Firefly-powered features in Photoshop (beta) now support text prompts in over 100 languages, enabling users worldwide to bring their creative visions to life using text prompts in their preferred language.
