Advanced AI Photo Techniques: Generative Fill and Composition
Use AI generative fill to enhance photos, expand compositions, and perfect product photography. Elevate image quality beyond traditional editing.
Generative fill works best with clear context; the AI draws from surrounding pixels to generate expansions, so ensure sufficient clear areas exist
Be specific with prompts: rather than 'expand the photo,' say 'expand vertically by 20% with clear sky background and soft clouds'
Experiment with multiple generations; often the first result isn't optimal, and regenerating yields better options
Use generative fill subtly; obviously generated areas create uncanny valleys; keep generations aligned with original image reality
Combine with traditional editing: use generative fill for expansion or element removal, then match colours and lighting with adjustment layers
