auto combine YOUR photos in Photoshop with generative fill ai

Education


Introduction

There’s been quite a buzz lately about the impact of artificial intelligence on photography, with some even claiming that photography is dead. However, I’m here to show you how to breathe new life into your photos using Photoshop’s powerful Generative Fill feature. Let’s dive into the process of combining your images seamlessly!

Step 1: Preparing Your Images

First, you’ll want to ensure you have your images ready. Click and drag your first photo into the Photoshop tab. To center it on the canvas, hold down the Shift key while releasing the mouse button. You should now have both images in one document.

Step 2: Resizing Your Images

To resize the second image, use the shortcut Ctrl (or Command) + T for Free Transform. To maintain proportions while resizing from the center, hold down the Alt (or Option) key and drag in one of the corners. Adjust the size to fit your desired look.

Step 3: Selecting and Blending Images

Next, let’s make the images blend more naturally. Grab the Quick Selection Tool and select the main part of the building from your first image. To focus on the border between the building and the background, use the shortcut Command + Shift + I to inverse the selection or select Inverse from the menu.

Once you have the marching ants indicating the selection on the outside, you'll want to refine it further. Choose the Rectangular Marquee Tool, holding down the Alt (or Option) key to subtract from your selection as you drag to create a smaller border around the building.

Step 4: Generating Fill

With that selection made, it’s time to use Generative Fill. Click on Generative Fill, leave the prompt empty so it uses the surroundings, and then click Generate. It’s crucial to have that border; without it, the blending won’t work as effectively.

You’ll see several generated options, and you can choose the one that fits best. For instance, if you opt for the first variation, it might perfectly complement your image.

Now, let’s enhance the scene further by adding elements, like a waterfall. Simply click and drag to define the area, then hit Generative Fill, typing in “waterfall.” The AI will generate the new element beautifully into your scene.

Conclusion

With Generative Fill, you can mix and match your photographs in innovative ways. If you’re enjoying these tips, don’t forget to subscribe to my channel and turn on notifications to stay updated on future content related to Photoshop techniques.
