Manipulating ad visuals with AI

2 min | Storytelling

I’m not a big fan of Adobe software, but Photoshop has three incredible AI features that I use all the time. Let me show you 🙂

I. Generative Fill

Remove anything from your image – like Ringo Starr, for example.

Flow: Select an object -> Press “Generative Fill” -> Type prompt: “Remove this man from the picture.”

Result: Ad #1

Now that I have a clean background, I can also play around with Ringo a little bit.

Flow: Select object -> Mask -> Go to “Edit” -> Transform -> Flip Horizontal.

Result: Ad #2

II. Text to Image

Generate or replace objects. In this case, pants.

Flow: Select object -> Prompt: “Replace his pants with brightly colored (very short) shorts and his shoes with house slippers” -> Press “Generate.”

Result: Ad #3

III. Generative Expand

Allows me to think outside the box, literally.

Flow: Press: “Generative Expand” -> Drag the corners -> Press: “Generate.” -> Select the best version.

Result: Ad #4
