It was a very flat photo and dull winter sky, so I did a sky replacement and added the airplane via generative fill.

The Valley of Fire Nevada State Park has spectacular rock formations. Photoshop Generative Fill did a good job with creating a rusty truck which blends with the terrain.

Thank you very much for your comments and faves, regretfully, I am finding it increasingly difficult to reply to your comments, because of my very limited time on the internet, due to constant power interruptions in South Africa. I do read and appreciate every one of them, however! Thanks again!!

Somehow this little frog magically appeared on the Giant Amazon Waterlily leaves. At the Blue Lotus Watergarden in the Yarra Valley. (PS Generative Fill AI!). HSS

The tiny town of Charleston has a boat yard filled with marvelously deteriorated vessels. Generative fill gave this one a chance to go to sea again.

Happy Slider Sunday!

My beloved subjects,

Today I stand here before you, not as ruler alone, but as guardian of our land, as your king and loyal servant of our people. The days are changing, and as the year changes its seasons, so too does our kingdom require strength, loyalty and unity.

Let us remember that our bond is strong, like the ancient roots of the oak, defying storms and anchored in solid ground. Together we have built fortresses, tilled fields and stood side by side in difficult times.

May we always act together, with honor and courage in our hearts. Let there be no doubt about our bravery, for a people that stands together is mightier than any storm that may come our way. So I raise my sword and promise you to fight for our country and our freedom as long as I have the strength.

Go now in peace, and may fate be merciful to us. Long live our kingdom!

A brown bear cub, sleeping on its mother's back in a sedge grass meadow, wakes up briefly and stretches out its front feet opening up its little claws. An out-of-focus cub to the far right was removed with generative fill/AI, giving a cleaner overall look. Cook Inlet, Alaska.

I extended this photo by a couple of inches on both sides. I thought it more accurately depicted what I actually saw.

A combination of an applied Neural Filter, Generative Fill (Bubble and Butterfly), and photoshop adjustments. Bubble, butterfly and reflection added to portrait. Zoom in for reflection.

I found this truck in Randsburg, California being driven by a skeleton with another skeleton for a passenger. The environment in which it was located was busy and filled with junk. Fortunately, Photoshops generative fill was able to place it in a more pleasing environment.

I couldn't let Sunday pass without sharing the fun with Photoshop's Generative Fill I had today. I used Generative Fill to dismiss several logs on the right side of the basalt cliff where the falls drop, added some interest to the foreground water and as the coup de grace, added two figures jumping into the falls on the left. Generative fill works pretty well for inanimate objects but it's ability to do people is a spectacular failure! Those people are pretty scary; they're good for Halloween decor. They are too large as well as the falls drop is 43 feet.

I was inspired to add the jumpers because I read this fall is popular on social media as a place to film your friends jumping into the plunge pool. If you are curious about the number of logs removed, go look at the photo I posted looking down at the falls, three frames back.

Happy Slider Sunday!

The yellow bus appears almost ready to load up and depart. Except it's awfully rusty and its tires appear untrustworthy.

And on top of those issues, its reflection in a big puddle of water is brought to you via Generative Fill in Photoshop.

I didn't like the environment that the truck was in so I used generative fill and got this desert scene with an ocean in the background.

Happy Truck Thursday!

Straßberg ist ein kleiner Ort, hier ist nicht wirklich was los, ein Bach, ein paar alte Häuser, etliche Gebäude unbewohnt und verfallen. Einmal täglich allerdings erwacht der Ort für ein paar Minuten zum Leben, nämlich immer dann wenn die alte Dampflok der Harzer Schmalspur Bahn (HSB), auch Selketalbahn genannt, hier durchfährt. Den exakten Zeitpunkt kann man den Fahrplänen der HSB entnehmen. Keine 2 Minuten vor der angekündigten Ankunft hier, kommen plötzlich Autos aus allen Richtungen, bleiben teilweise mitten auf der Straße stehen, ein paar Leute springen hektisch raus, die Kamera bereits im Anschlag. Und da kommt sie auch schon angeschnaubt, pünktlich auf die Minute ! Schnell ein paar Bilder, hoffentlich stimmen jetzt alle Einstellungen und so plötzlich wie sie um's Eck kam, ist sie auch schon wieder verschwunden und mit ihr die paar Fotografen. Es kehrt wieder Ruhe im Ort ein 😁.

I asked generative fill for Native American dancers and got this group. Shiprock plays a large role in the spiritual beliefs of the Navajo. So I was looking for something appropriate for the location. Not sure these dancers fit that role.

Es ist ein Morgen wie er trüber nicht sein könnte, aber im Radio sagen sie auf den Bergen scheint die Sonne. Also, der Fotorucksack ist immer griffbereit, rauf auf den Hausberg. 300 Höhenmeter, in 45 min bin ich oben. Verdammt, nicht hoch genug, noch stehe ich im Nebel, der blaue Himmel ist aber erkennbar. Also wieder runter, ins Auto, 20 km Fahrt, rauf auf den nächsten Berg, 350 Höhenmeter hochgerannnt, der Berg ist 50 m höher, aber immer noch nicht hoch genug. 2 Stunden bei -6 °C abgewartet und dann doch wieder runtergerannt. 8 km Autofahrt, 20 min bergauf, höchster Berg der Gegend und noch ein Aussichtsturm drauf. Die Sonne scheint schön, aber nun bin ich 150 meter über dem Nebel, auch nicht ideal, aber egal. Ich hatte meinen Sport und schön war`s trotzdem. Dieses Bild ist vom 2. Berg.

It was a morning that couldn't be more cloudy, but on the radio they said the sun was shining on the mountains. So, my camera backpack was ready and I headed up the local mountain. 300 meters above sea level, I was at the top in 45 minutes. Damn, not high enough, I was still standing in the fog, but I could see the blue sky. So I got back down, got in the car, drove 20 km, up the next mountain, ran up 350 meters, the mountain was 50 m higher, but still not high enough. I waited 2 hours at -6 °C and then ran back down. 8 km drive, 20 minutes uphill to the highest mountain in the area and there was another observation tower on top. The sun was shining beautifully, but now I'm 150 meters above the fog, not ideal either, but no matter. I had my sport and it was still beautiful. This photo is from the 2nd mountain.

Adobe's generative fill in action

In reality there is no cave and also no river

I did some experimentation with Photoshop Generative Fill. I removed the five logs cluttering the scene. See below with the original photo complete with logs and no cropping. I also smoothed the water of the plunge pool in the second image below. I am astonished at how well Photoshop Generative Fill performed.

Happy Slider Sunday!

The new Generative Fill feature in Photoshop beta is quite useful. I tried the Remove function in the recent version of Photoshop beta to remove several palm trees at the bottom of the image. It did not work well at all. The new Generative Fill does work quite well. See the image below for a shot with the palm trees in place. It probably does not hold up under close scrutiny, but the filled in areas blend nicely with the neighboring areas.

Protzige Regierungspaläste, barocke Kirchen, ein paar Relikte aus der Römerzeit, das eine oder andere hippe Stadtviertel. Das haben doch alle mediterranen Städte. Man kann sie kaum voneinander unterscheiden. Wirklich einzigartig aber und es gibt sie so nur in Lissabon, das sind diese putzigen kleinen Schmalspur-Straßenbahnen. Alle Strecken (bis auf 1) werden bis heute ausschließlich von diesen hübschen, vielfach noch aus den 1930er Jahren stammenden Bahnen befahren. Die Steigungen sind immens, die Kurven eng, eine andere Bahn hätte hier ohnehin keine Chance. Besonders beliebt bei Touristen ist die Linie 28, deren Verlauf fast wie bei einer Stadtrundfahrt durch die schönsten Viertel der Stadt führt. Einen Sitzplatz zu bekommen ist fast unmöglich. Mir egal, von außen sind die Bahnen viel hübscher anzusehen, als von innen 😉.

Along Highway 550 in New Mexico there are several abandoned trading posts. Prior to World War 2 trading posts were very important to the Navajo. The posts were the sources of goods sold to and from the Navajo and served as social centers. The vehicle was provided by generative fill.

I thought the large flying fish at Bombay Beach would look better flying over water. Photoshop Generative Fill gave me water.
