All the New Tools Explained
ONE TOOL. INFINITE POSSIBILITIES.
GENERATIVE FILL
The Future of Photo Editing
Generative fill is a new AI-powered feature in Photoshop that can automatically fill in areas of an image with realistic and seamless results. This means you can now remove unwanted objects, extend the background of an image, or even create entirely new scenes with just a few clicks!
New Creative Possibilities
This AI-powered tool can automatically fill in areas of an image, saving you hours of time on tedious tasks like removing unwanted objects or extending the background. But generative fill isn’t just about saving time and producing amazing results. It’s also about opening up new creative possibilities. With generative fill, you can create entirely new scenes or add elements to an image that would be difficult or impossible to create by hand. The sky’s the limit!
Easy to Use
The Generative Fill tool is incredibly easy to use! First select the area of the image that you want to fill. Then, go to the Filter menu and select Generative Fill. In the Generative Fill dialog box, you can enter a text prompt to describe what you want to add to the image. You can also adjust the Style and Strength sliders to control the look of the generative fill. When you’re happy with the results, click Generate.

Remove Distractions
The new Remove Tool in Photoshop 2023 is a game-changer! This AI-powered tool can remove objects from your photos with ease, leaving behind a seamless finish. Whether you need to remove a pesky power line from your landscape shot or a stray person from your group photo, the remove tool can do it quickly and easily.

The results are so realistic that you’ll be hard-pressed to tell that anything was ever there in the first place!

Yes I would love to see more of PS updates in the future. Always enjoy your teaching style!
Aaron always does a great job of explaining things. And this was no exception. Clear and easy to understand.
As usual, your tutorial on the new Generative Fill, Gradients and remove tool were awesome!
loved it , more please
Excellent succinct overview of new features. To answer the question, yes please produce “new feature” tutorials in the future. In the past I’ve had to search elsewhere and greatly prefer Aaron’s style.
I watched this with great interest. PS 2024 has just been released and contains the tools included in the beta which Aaron used. I know enough now to play with the generative fill. I spent a lot of time being frustrated before Aaron’s instruction. Best teacher on the web! No pretense. No histrionics. No fro. Thanks!
Great tutorial and therefore maybe a little experimental since this huge and game changing tech was just in and it seems that nobody knows where this is leading. Maybe give it some time and then update the lessons. And let’s not worry. It still seems that the mind of the creator is what matters, not the means. Cheers Aaron!
Aaron is the master of Photoshop, love it 🙂
Thanks, Aaron, Master Teacher, as always 🙂 I have a request; maybe it could be an idea for your next tutorials. Can you make a video on composite real-person images with AI elements? For example, I have a client who wants to be a Cleopatra or a movie character; if I take the client’s picture and want to add the elements of the scene using AI. I tried using some apps for face switching, but it still looks artificial, and I also can`t control small details in the scene when using something like mid-journey, so maybe it is a good idea to build it myself from scratch using AI in Photoshop.
Yes, a printable pdf to refer back to would be amazing!
Thank you Aaron and all team again. I really enjoyed that Guide to the latest updates. What a great idea !
Fantastic teacher! Fantastic tutorial! Please add more PRO tutorials on upcoming updates in the future! Thank you very much!
Thanks I like seeing update tutorials especially when they are pretty major updates
There is no question that the most valuable demonstration was the gradient video as it was a group of lessons within a lesson: a start-to-finish that reviewed so many steps from composites to layers, to masks, to clipping masks, to selections and the deletion of unwanted selections, edge clean up and the use of the new gradients. One heck of a lot of things to remember. Oh it would have been so good to have a printable PDF script that takes the student through all those steps and allows for some handwritten notes. Just a great S2F example, one I’ll have to watch 3 or 4 times. Thank you.
Great tutorial on this update and so much fun too 😀
Holy caffeinated Aaron! You went so fast–obviously this is not a beginner’s tutorial, I get that, but I will have to watch the AI chapter a few times. As always entertaining and comprehensive.
great but subtitles?
Terrific tutorial thoroughly explaining the new features and tools with the latest PS and PS Beta versions. One small request, though…no more “booping!”
