When Adobe cooks up a new update, you know it’s going to be a huge one for the community.
And after a period of waiting, Adobe finally launched its AI-driven system, Generative Fill, which makes editing pictures easier and faster.
So, without delay, let’s further discuss more about it below!
What is Generative Fill?
Adobe’s Photoshop Generative Fill is an AI feature of Adobe Photoshop, which is powered by Adobe’s AI engine, Firefly.
This development allows you to create, add, remove, or replace images with only simple text prompts in the software.
Unlike other AI art generators, Generative Fill lets you edit existing pictures and mold them into something new through AI functionality.
And of course, it wouldn’t be something new without the help of your ideas.

What can it do?
If you’ve noticed, AI-powered image generators like Midjourney, DALL-E, and Binance’s Bicasso only create images according to your prompts.
With Generative Fill, there are a lot of things that you can do to make a masterpiece, like:
- Generating objects by selecting an area in your image and then describing what you’d like to add/replace through a text prompt.
- Apply new backgrounds by selecting the background behind your subject and generating a new scene from a text prompt.
- Extending the canvas of your image and then selecting the empty region for adding more content.
These are some of the most critical features out of many that you should take note of when using Generative Fill.

How will this affect the graphic design industry?
As the industry keeps elevating its pace day by day, it’s essential to have additional aid to make your creations perfect.
Adobe’s Photoshop Generative Fill fills that position by in bringing AI capabilities into your design workflows.
And given its advantages, it’s highly recommended for graphic designers, especially those seeking to complete their edits faster, as it will:
- First, save them time, money for additional inputs, and, most importantly, effort.
- Lastly, it will enhance a person’s capability to think about new ideas and how they can be executed.
But as these upsides continue, the major downside of its overall system also hurts the industry because:
- As editing pictures becomes more straightforward, many people will rely on their own skills, leaving graphic designers with no opportunities to work.
- Besides that, the industry also becomes more competitive until the time comes when ideas will become the only significant factor in evaluating graphic designs instead of technical skills.
Although this may be overwhelming at first, you can serve these as your reference to maximize your opportunities.
Now…
How can graphic designers take advantage of it?
Well, it’s already evident that opportunities are everywhere, given that our society is constantly evolving. And graphic designers can take advantage of this development with the right plan and a little luck.
After all, prompts in Photoshop Generative Fill will not write themselves (well, at least for now). So the best thing you can do now as a graphic designer is to explore this new tool.
Familiarize yourself with it, learn the best prompts, and become an expert. This will make your skills more valuable in the future, making you more in-demand in the industry. Moreover, AI can be your expressway to success if you only know how to properly use it to your advantage.
Think of it as the early internet or social media. People thought that it was an absurd idea before, but look at us now. The majority of us can’t live without it, and the people who jumped in early on the social media train reap all the benefits that come with it.
Digital marketing and social media marketing, along with other jobs and new industries, have been born and evolved since then, giving thousands of people who prepared themselves for this day tons of opportunities for a better job and salary or even to create their own company around these industries.
Future of this Technology
More people will likely start using generative fill because of its existing advantages and benefits.
Yet despite its beauty, it’s also possible that many other programs will start adopting its build-outs into theirs to compete.
But as of right now, Adobe’s Generative Fill marks an innovative step towards a convenient and tech-centered workplace, helping people achieve tasks more efficiently and productively.
Overall, we’re excited to see what the future holds for AI and other tools that might come up in the future.
In the meantime, what do you think about this update?
