Generative Expand now available in Photoshop on the iPad
Create without boundaries and unleash your potential. Generative Expand enables you to transform your canvas dimensions from portrait to landscape, or vice versa. You can:
- Enlarge a portrait to fit a larger frame.
- Straighten an image and fill in the corners.
- Expand your images to create new marketing materials, such as branding advertisements, social media graphics, flyers, and more.
Generative Expand—a revolutionary Firefly-powered generative AI capability—is now available in Photoshop on the iPad. It's similar to Generative Expand on desktop and the web and brings the power and precision of Photoshop to your fingertips without being tethered to a desk.
Simply expand the canvas dimensions with or without text prompts (in more than 100 languages) to fill the canvas with content that naturally blends with the existing image.
View the newly created content in a Generative Layer, and choose from three creative variations per generation.
From conceptualizing creative ideas to making complex edits and refinements, Generative Expand can help you quickly realize your vision in a few steps.
How to use Generative Expand
Follow these steps to use Generative Expand in Photoshop on the iPad:
-
Open your image and tap Crop tool in the toolbar.
-
Expand your canvas and tap Generative Expand.
Drag the borders of your canvas to the desired size and tap Generative Expand.
-
Add your text prompt.
Use the text-entry prompt box in the Contextual Prompt to describe the content or scene you want to generate in your image as a Generative Expand layer.
Without a prompt, the app will fill the empty space with content that seamlessly blends with the existing image.
-
Choose from the generated variations.
Tap Generate after entering the text prompt. You'll be able to view thumbnail previews of the generated variations in the Properties panel and the new Generative Layer in the Layers panel.
Select the Generative Layer to bring up the Properties panel to further edit your text prompt or work with the variations.
-
Generate more variations.
(Optional) To generate additional variations, modify the text prompt and tap Generate in the Properties panel.
Tap the three-dot icon in the top-right corner of the variation to delete it from the Properties panel.
