WHEN TO USE EACH TOOL IN PHOTOSHOP: GENERATIVE FILL VS. REMOVE TOOL AI
TWO NEW AI-POWERED PHOTOSHOP TOOLS CAN REMOVE ANYTHING FROM IMAGES. WHAT IS THE BEST?
Another fantastic new ai tool was somewhat overshadowed by the buzz surrounding Photoshop’s Generative Fill. Possibly even more handy than the add tool is the removal tool. To learn more, read on or watch the video.
When Photoshop beta contained the Remove Tool, I created a lesson on it. The shipment version is now available.
On Photoshop’s generative fill, I have created a course. Look at it here.
Let’s put the tools to the test before I describe how they vary. The settings and modifications I utilised for this core theme are displayed in the video.
THE TOOL TO REMOVE
I made a new layer and painted on the elements I wanted to eliminate using the eliminate tool.A new layer allows for non-destructive use. For it to function, make sure Sample all layers is turned on. Photoshop beta and Photoshop versions 24.5 or more both come with the delete tool.
The spot healing brush is nestled beneath the remove tool. In the event that you are using a workspace preset, it won’t appear in the toolbar. To display the tool if it is absent, select modify toolbar from the three-dot option on the toolbar.

Paint over the object you want to remove
It removed the object and rebuilds the pixels behind the object based on the surrounding pixels and ai. Much better than Content aware fill, which is not ai.
I also removed the shadow in the video.
FULFIL MEET GENERATIVE
The only version of Photoshop with generative fill is the beta. An internet connection is necessary because it only functions on the cloud. Although generative fill has the ability to extend a canvas and create new objects, we will only use it to remove items for the purposes of this comparison. I have a tonne of additional tutorials on using Generative Fill in different ways.
For this tutorial, I made selections with the lasso tool and then selected Generative Fill.
Generate to fill with Generative fill, which uses a machine learning model than has been training on millions of images from Adobe stock.
It fills the area the car used to be with relevant pixels.

Starting with Generative Fill.
Make a selection with the lasso tool.
Select Generative Fill>Generate and omit the question.
Tip: Adding terms like uninstall won’t work, according to the Adobe instructions. You can omit anything by leaving the text prompt blank. “Only English is accepted at this time for the prompts used for the description. Use descriptive verbs and adjectives in text prompts rather than directive ones like “fill the area” or “create a scene” for optimum results.
You can see that it performed a respectable job here.

Paint over the building and release
We also get a decent result. Although with this, we can see some repetition in the trees.
On close examination, the fill with Remove is the same resolution as the original image. It also works faster than Generative Fill.
If you look at Generative Fill results up close, they are soft and pixelated. That is because Gen-Fill uses a maximum resolution of 1024×1024 px to fill a selected area. This will change in the future.
