How to Use Generative Fill In Photoshop to Change Someone’s Clothes
Have you ever taken pictures of someone and wished they wore something else to better fit the scene? Photographers have faced similar issues with subjects showing up wearing the wrong colors or missing accessories. There’s never been a solution to this problem in the past except to communicate with your subjects ahead of time and hoping they wear the right clothing.
In this article, we’ll show you how to use Generative Fill in Photoshop Beta 24.6.0 to change your subject’s clothes quickly and without having to be a Photoshop expert.
Wrong Clothes? No Problem!
What makes Generative Fill specialis that it sources its images from over 33 million photos from the Adobe Stock photo library. This has made it possible for Photoshop users to take advantage of the potential of artificial intelligence without worrying about anylegal issues around AI art.
Not only that, but you don’t have to be an expert Photoshop user to change a person’s clothes; you only have to be able touse some of Photoshop’s selection tools.
The Limitations of Generative Fill
Despite there being millions of reference images, you probably won’t be able to change your subject’s clothes to anything that you want. There are limitations, starting with the images being limited to Adobe Stock and Photoshop’s ability to render the images within the parameters of the selections you make.
So while you may not be able to change your subject’s dress to a very specific dress style (at least with this beta version), you will be able to dictate the color and some other details.
Let’s jump into the tutorial.
Make a Selection of Your Subject
There are two steps to using Generative Fill in Photoshop to change your subject’s clothes. The first and most important step is to make a selection of the clothing. This can be done using any of Photoshop’s selection tools, such as the Rectangular Marquee Tool, the Lasso Tool, the Object Selection Tool, and the Quick Selection Tool.
You can alsouse the Select Subject toolto select your subject and then mask out the person’s face and skin. This is what we did (from the floating toolbar) to make the initial selection of the man.
Next, we used the Lasso Tool to remove the man’s head and one of his hands from the selection.
With the selection made, we can move to the next step, changing the clothing.
How to Change Your Subject’s Clothes With Generative Fill
With the selection made of the clothing (and one hand) that we want to change, we’lluse Generative Fillto change the man’s clothing by clicking onGenerative Fill. In the text field, we typed “a black suit with a red tie”, but you can type whatever you need for your specific photo. Then clickGenerate.
Photoshop does a great job at replacing the man’s clothes with a formal suit with a red tie. But like all the AI image-makers currently on the market, even Adobe’sAI struggles with handssometimes. So it’s worth the time to select any part of the person, especially hands and skin portions, that you want to keep.
We’ll go back and select the man’s hand to exclude it from Generative Fill.
The above image is a much better rendition due to a more accurate selection. If you can get the selection right, then changing your subject’s clothes with Generative Fill will be fun and easy to experiment with.
