Generative Fill Art - Free Action from Russell Brown

[BarkingBeans Coffee]

Lesson from PixImpefect referencing Russel Brown action and how it works.

I know this isn't for everyone; as we start to blend photography and art and experiment with the new tools I think it's an interesting exercise.

Very first attempt.

Wow! Thank you for sharing your attempt, plus this method/tutorial! I just got CC not long ago, and it's a learning curve from using CS6 for the past ... the past.... omg, since its release............ . . . .

Ok, let's just ignore that realization there, and move right on into my attempt and a question for ya.

My first attempt, turned an eagle that stisch shot earlier for a test shot, into a .... well, into a perched penguin. Hah!
NEEDLESS to say, I have thus refined my selecting process and attempted again,... twice, see below, lmao

Now for an actual question,
Did you have any issues with it generating more accurately when going below 20% brightness? It goes from distinguishable, to putting a giant oil painted human face over the whole thing, then just blehblobs.

Thanks much!

I haven't had much more time to use it; What you might consider is a layer blending the original subject back in. That is what I did with the hummer if I recall. Yes I was last on CS6 before I went to the new version back in Nov 2023. So many changes and so many great tools since then.
