Photoshop CC 2023: How To Expand Photos Using Ai - NEW Generative Fill

Howto & Style

Introduction

In the latest beta version of Photoshop CC 2023, a new feature called Generative Fill has been introduced, allowing users to expand their photos using AI technology. This tutorial will guide you through the process of unlocking layers, using the crop tool, and leveraging the Generative Fill feature to seamlessly expand the background of your photos.

To begin, make sure the layer is unlocked and access the crop tool with content-aware turned off. Use the alt/option key to drag out the edges of the photo to expand the background, then press apply. Create a selection by holding Ctrl and left-clicking on the photo, then invert the selection with Ctrl+Shift+I. Next, utilize the Generative Fill feature by typing in a name, such as "expand background," clicking generate, and letting the AI fill in the missing area. You can choose from three variations and customize the mask as needed for a seamless photo expansion.
