Does Photoshop AI have text to image generation?

Photoshop AI, otherwise known as Photoshop Beta, now has a Generative Fill tool which works with text-to-image generation. Users don’t even need to give it direction for it to expand an image but with direction, the system can work efficiently in expanding and generating new objects. Compare it to Photoshop’s existing Content-Aware Fill Feature, it’s similar but offers more control to the user.

Is Photoshop AI text to image generation any good?

Users have noted some flaws including a sometimes unnatural image insertion but overall the response has been really positive. The tool has been able to add complicated edits to images such as mimicking light sources and even ‘reflecting’ existing parts of the image like puddles and other water sources.

Senior vice president of Digital Media at Adobe, Ashley Still claims that “Generative Fill combines the speed and ease of generative AI with the power and precision of Photoshop, empowering customers to bring their visions to life at the speed of their imaginations”. We can’t help but agree: the speed that the Generative Fill tool generates images is more than impressive. You no longer have to insert and splice your imports but instead sit and watch as the AI works the image in for you.

Final word

Photoshop AI does have text to image generation and it’s really fun. With the new AI features, the photo editing world has become a whole lot more exciting and not to forget, easier! Users have more control and can take inspiration from all the AI art that is being made accessible. Photoshop isn’t the only software with these additional AI features, check out applications like Stable Diffusion and Midjourney here.
