Thanks for sharing the updates for ACR & PS Blake, nice to have the 'real world' run down! Oh, and it's 9.40pm here and I think I will have nightmares of that face lol - definitely can't unsee that 🤣🤣
A month ago Colin from photoshopCAFE showed an excellent example of a wire-packed picture in which removing distracting wires manually would take you maybe half an hour - PS did that in a minute...
It didn't work on my fence posts in that image, but maybe if they are more obvious it would. The manual method works well enough for me :) I believe he saw it, he may or may not approve though. lol
I tried to use PS 2025 AI to expand my sky that had some clouds in order to get a different crop ratio. It kept giving me weird designs and tried to add what looked like toy planes. I went back to 2024 and the AI worked perfect for my sky expand. Looks like I will be keeping 2024 for the AI part.
Love your work! I shoot lots of headshots. Can any/many of these features help me edit one photo for many things like blemishes, acne, cleaning stray hair, teeth, eyes, overall skin tones, body blemishes, etc. and batch to all the other photos from the same shoot?
Thanks 😁 Unfortunately, no.. The software doesn't read the location of the spot and then apply it to that same area of a different image. It will keep the spot healing in the same location, say for a sensor dust spot, but it won't track a zit so to speak 🤣
Hate it. I use get fill to give "haircuts" with fly-away hair. Used to work great. Earlier today, I wanted to remove a fly-away hair and gen fill interpreted the hair as spider webs and gave me exactly that: spiders.
@@f64Academy I suspect it is due to the fact that training was accomplished with Adobe's internal assets only, rather than the billions used in training by other AI apps. I primarily use gen fill to remove objects rather than add them, and I rarely if ever write a prompt to do so. On the other hand, gen expand has always worked great for me.
Call me a Luddite (I'm really not!) but I have no use whatsoever for technology that generates elements in my pictures that weren't there in the first place, so a lot of what Adobe is working on at the moment doesn't interest me. I do appreciate some of the improved (faster) ways we have of removing distractions though, and AI has revolutionised the way we handle noise, so as a wildlife photographer both of these are welcome. I still have a strong suspicion that photographers are going to rue the day AI came along though. It's already getting hard to spot AI when it's implemented well so it's easy to see a future where "real" photographs will have no worth.
You only tried one prompt for the scary face, and it wasn't that good of a prompt in my opinion. I wonder if you used a very detailed prompt, like those I see on Midjourney, would it produce better results? I'd say probably, but hey, I'm just an observer. 😎 Sounds like you weren't very impressed with the new features. (Where's your glasses? 🤓)
No, trust me, I don't think Adobe prompts care about what you type in. I've used the same MJ prompt with details and then used that in Firefly and it sucked equally 🤣
When you sum up everything in times with the manual method, you will eventually reach the same time with the automatic method and maybe faster, try and report
5 mins in my bro I was thinking we should be seeing how all works on realistic sizes (1920px say) not raw files but just sharing my opinion after the lousy ‘person looking up scared’ example… still watching fam…
Good grief, that remove tool when you removed the wires by hand was dang slow compared to the past. You had the mode set to Auto (May use generative AI). Based on the speed, it appears PS decided to use generative AI to remove that black line on a blue sky, which clearly isn't needed in this case. Switch the mode to Generative AI off and it should be as fast as it was in the past. Based on my experimenting with the remove tool, Generative AI Off mode is the old remove tool and removes your wire example almost immediately. Generative AI On mode will always use generative AI and be painfully slow in comparison. And Auto (May use generative AI) is PS choice, with bad decisions being made at this point. I'll keep the mode set to Generative AI Off when using the remove tool, and change only when needed. I did notice that when I hover over the "Wires and Cables" button in find distractions that the pop-up tool says generative AI will not be used. So, I guess the slowness of the auto removal comes from PS finding the distractions, not replacing them??? I guess that also means the mode setting makes no difference when using the wires and cables button. Somewhat surprised by this as wires and cables often cross over messy backgrounds ... ones where you might think generative AI would be a benefit.
I think that was set to auto by default with the new PS 2025. I had to get these videos out quickly. I may have missed that, good point. I prefer that it doesn't use Gen AI. I'll fix that, good eye!
@@f64Academy It is indeed set to Auto by default. I only caught it because of how slow the remove tool was in the video compared to the previous version. That motivated me to start exploring in PS 2025 because I certainly didn't want to wait that long for all of my repairs to happen! I agree with you that removing the wires in your example photo by hand is much faster (with Gen AI off) than using the one-click wires and cables and waiting forever for PS to find the wires. I need to experiment with more complicated examples such as wires hanging in front of decorative building facades. My experience has been the remove tool is more hit and miss in those situations and require some touch ups. I'm wondering if it's better with Gen AI in those situation … but it seems as though you'll have to highlight the wires by hand since the one-click option doesn't use Gen AI. Of course, highlighting by hand may be okay since it keeps the overall selection size smaller and thus the resulting gen AI isn't upscaled to cover the entire image.
Im glad I stumbled here to find someone who isn't overly amazed everything adobe does. Awesome find, this changes everything!!! 😉 ...or begging to subscribe. Subscribed.
I ♥️ Adobe products and the Adobe workflow is one I can't live without. However, I CAN live without generative AI. It's dumb and not ready for the big time 🤣

Haha, yeah you can't make this stuff up, but Gen Fill can 🤣 you should've seen what my first prompt made, not as scary but just as unusual, lol

Was wondering if the remove tool will remove wired fences. I hope Gavin sees this, lol.

Their AI generation is horrible. I'll wait for PS 2027. It might... MIGHT... Be good by then 🤣

Is generative AI still low-res and limited to 1080 x 1080 pixels?
It does appear that way.
Hate it. I use get fill to give "haircuts" with fly-away hair. Used to work great. Earlier today, I wanted to remove a fly-away hair and gen fill interpreted the hair as spider webs and gave me exactly that: spiders.
🤣 gen fill is laughable. Their AI generation model is the worst in comparison to others.

Right? That 1920 is ridiculous. If they fix that it'll be of value, otherwise it's not acceptable for professional work.
you known if work with intel or only with ARM
I have no idea what the question is, sorry.
