Photoshop's Generative Fill feature has generated a ton of buzz in the last few months with its ability to drastically edit and alter photos in just a few seconds. One photo task that can often be tedious is restoring old or damaged photos, and a lot of Generative Fill's capabilities seem perfectly tailored to the task. Can it save you a lot of time and effort? This great video takes a look.
Coming to you from Anthony Morganti, this excellent video takes a look at using Photoshop new Generative Fill feature for restoring old photos. This sort of work can often be tricky, as you have to fix a variety of issues, including scratches, dust, missing areas, and more, and you often do not have much data to work with, meaning you have to be rather clever to create a convincing result. As you will see, Generative Fill takes care of the need to "create" that data, alleviating you of arguably the most tedious aspect of this sort of work. Certainly, it is a nice feature to have, especially if you have some old family photos hanging around that you would like to fix up, though you'll still need to resort to other techniques or programs for increasing resolution or fixing blurriness. Check out the video above for the full rundown from Morganti.
I dont know about others but while the 'generative fill tool' is fine for those larger areas I find the new 'remove tool' that used the same or similar AI technology to be a game changer. If you shoot flowers or portraits its amazing. While the clone tool was good this new 'fill' technology is wonderful. Removing small bemishes, defects, stray hairs etc is just so much quicker and the results are just so much better.
