In reply to Hamish Hamilton. As stated in the tut. If you don't get results, switch the 80 for 20

I got absolutely nowhere following this. The generative fill box does not even show up on my screen, and searching for it got nothing. I didn’t even get a pink screen, mine went opaque grey. I am up to date with versions, but not sure about the Beta thing – where is that written/detailed?

Thanks for the updated tutorial. I am getting some strange results, however. I am running Photoshop 25.11.0 on a MacBook Pro 16-inch (2023) with Sonoma 14.6.1. Everything seems fine until I get to the step of filling in the foreground color. I hit Option+Delete and nothing seems to happen (no pink color). (I am running with B set to 80%, but the results are the same if I set B to 20%). I exit Quickmask mode, but at this point the Task Bar only shows the options Select subject and Remove background.
Strangely (?) if instead of Option+Delete, I enter Command+Delete, I get the pink color. When I then exit Quickmask, the pink color is replaced by a lighter shade. This time I get the Generative Fill option, and it seems to work., although it behaves as if the B value was set to 20%, that is, the density appears to be 80%.
I am utterly confused by this!

I do have PS 25.11 installed on my Windows PC, but this does not work with any density below 50%! Or do I miss something? Frieda

Great tutorial, clearly presented as ever. I tried your technique in an attempt to convert a photograph of my dog into a pencil sketch. The result was a pencil sketch of a dog drawing a pencil sketch, complete with pencil in his paw. Follow https://photos.app.goo.gl/AcCtufvzMb2kXMFb8 to view

Hi Colin! love your videos, I have been learning so much! In this tutorial, I followed step by step and got things working except the partial effect. While in quick mask mode I went to the object selection tool and chose select subject. I get a message that “Couldn’t find a subject to select. There might not be prominent objects in the image”. I had the brightness of the foreground set at 80%, quick mask to selected areas, 50% with color yellow. I tried with a few different images and each one had good contrast between the subject and the background. These same images were found by object select when not in quick mask mode just fine. Sample all layers and hard edge were checked in the object selection tool. Oh I was using PS 2024 25.11.0 not the beta. Thank you 🙂
