Frequently Asked Questions
How is generative fill different from regular content-aware fill?
+
Content-aware fill works by copying and blending existing pixels from elsewhere in the image, so it can only reproduce what is already there. Generative fill uses an AI model to create entirely new content that has never existed in the image. This means generative fill can add new objects, extend scenes, and replace elements with completely different alternatives.
Can I control what the AI generates, or is it random?
+
You can guide the generation with text prompts that describe what you want. The more specific your prompt, the closer the result will match your intent. You can also regenerate multiple times to get different variations and choose the one that best fits your vision. Each generation uses a different random seed, so results vary even with the same prompt.
Are there copyright concerns with AI-generated content in my photos?
+
AI-generated content created within your own photos using generative fill is generally treated as your creative output since you are directing the generation within your original work. However, copyright law around AI-generated content is still evolving in many jurisdictions. For commercial projects, consult with a legal professional about the specific requirements in your market.
