how to use generative expand in adobe firefly
HeyBraza points at the crop handles and the expand button so the canvas actually grows instead of nothing happening.
generative expand grows a photo past its original edges and invents matching scenery - but it only fires after you drag the canvas out, and missing that step is why people think it's broken. here's the right order in firefly web and in photoshop.
or do it yourself
- 1in the firefly web app, open your image in the 'edit' tab and pick 'generative expand' from the left toolbar, then drag the handles outward or choose a new aspect ratio.
- 2in photoshop instead: select the crop tool and drag the crop handles past the image edge to add empty canvas.
- 3with the larger canvas set, click 'generative expand' in the contextual task bar (leave the prompt blank to match the scene).
- 4press 'generate' and pick the best of the three variations.
- 5if a seam shows, expand a little less at a time, or run a second pass on just the seam.

downloadcommon questions
why won't generative expand do anything?
you have to enlarge the canvas first - drag the crop handles past the edge, then click generative expand; on an unchanged canvas it stays greyed out.
should i type a prompt for expand?
leave it blank to extend the existing scene; only add a prompt if you want new objects in the added space.
