Adobe has introduced a new AI-powered 'Generative Expand' feature in Photoshop. The feature can expand images beyond their original aspect ratio.
Powered by the same Firefly-based technology as Generative Fill, Generative Expand enables users to seamlessly expand and resize any image by using the Crop tool. After clicking "Generate" the empty space is filled with AI generated content that naturally blends with the existing image. This streamlined workflow enables users to create and ideate in Photoshop with Generative AI more quickly and intuitively than before.
Generative Expand in Action
Suppose your subject is cut off, your image is not in the aspect ratio you want, or an object in focus is misaligned with other parts of the image — you can use Generative Expand to expand your canvas and get your image to look like anything you can imagine.
First, select the Crop tool and drag beyond the image's original canvas to your desired aspect ratio.
Generated content can be added with or without a text prompt. Without a prompt, click "Generate" in the Contextual Task Bar, and Photoshop will fill in the newly expanded canvas with generated content that seamlessly blends with the existing image.
When using a prompt, the image will be expanded and will include the content you entered into the prompt. Select your favorite variation, and the expanded image will be added non-destructively in a new Generative Layer.
Pricing and Availability:
Adobe's Generative Expand feature is available to Creative Cloud subscribers who have Photoshop (beta) installed. Currently, the company is offering 30% off individual subscriptions and 60% off if you are a student! If you want to try out the feature, you can get a free trial here.
