Adobe's generative fill in action

In reality there is no cave and also no river

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.

Here is the image of my yesterday's post "Mt. Diabloe Sunrise". I used Adobe's newly developed Generative Fill tool to replace a foreground and some middleground. The results are amazing and AI is definitely a game changer for phtotography.

Added Lightning with PS Generativr Fill

I discovered some beautiful murals with an ocean theme. This version has been created using the 'generative fill' feature of Adobe Photoshop. As seen below, the original had three windows and a vehicle. I wished that there had been no windows and decided as an experiment to use this modern tool.

Wie würde das Casino Baden aussehen, wenn man den Kaiser-Franz Ring zum Kanal ausheben würde?

Statt mit dem Auto fährt man mit dem Boot oder der Gondel vor.

Kanal ist natürlich KI generiert.

How would the Casino Baden look like if the roaad in front of it was replaced by a channel?

The water part was kreated by AI.

Oh, wie schön ist Quedlinburg !

Zu DDR-Zeit gab es Pläne die sich im Verfall befindliche Stadt und ihre Fachwerkhäuser abzureißen. Zu groß erschien der Aufwand einer Sanierung all der hübschen Häuser und Gassen. Die Zeit dieser Planungen hat Quedlinburg überdauert, ab den 90er-Jahren begann dann die umfassende Sanierung der weitläufigen, vielfach noch aus dem Mittelalter stammenden Bausubstanz. Heute steht Quedlinburg auf der Liste der UNESCO-Liste des Weltkulturerbes. Sie trägt daher auch den Beinamen "Welterbestadt".

.

Oh, how beautiful Quedlinburg is!

During the GDR era there were plans to demolish the decaying city and its half-timbered houses. The effort required to renovate all the pretty houses and alleys seemed too great. Quedlinburg survived the time of these plans, and in the 1990s the extensive renovation of the buildings, many of which still date back to the Middle Ages, began. Today Quedlinburg is on the UNESCO World Heritage List. It is therefore also nicknamed “World Heritage City”.

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.

This was a very plain photo so I delved into AI and asked it to fill the background with leaves, after many rejected ideas, I quite liked this one.

She was three years old in April 2010 and I found several pictures of her playing with her drum. I composited them into one collage, adding a stage background via AI, and a lens flare filter.

Of the three images, I like this one the best. The logs were removed and the plunge pool water smoothed out.

Because the original photo was framed quite tight on the left hand edge, I used the new Photoshop Beta generative fill to add extra 'territory' to the left hand edge and was impressed with the results.

I thought these dinosaur metal statues in Borrego Springs, California would be happier if they could see their reflections in water. Generative Fill in Photoshop provided some water and reflections. It did not seem to improve their attitude!

Created with Adobe firefly and Generative fill.

This WW II era ambulance is housed in the Tillamook Air Museaum south of Tillamook, Oregon. The Tillamook Air Museum is an aviation museum located at a former U.S. Navy Air Station and housed in a former blimp hangar, known as "Hangar B", which is the largest clear-span wooden structure in the world. Part of the enormous hanger had a white plastic roof hanging above some of the exhibits. There were also considerable distracting items in the vicinity of this truck. So, I experimented with Generative AI in Photoshop to give the vehicle a more interesting back drop.

Happy Truck Thursday!
