The video tutorial by Erina Mappy Hotono demonstrates how to use the "Generated Fill" feature in Adobe Photoshop to create a photo composite. The tutorial begins with an introduction to the feature, which uses AI to add elements to a photo based on text input. This feature was recently added in a Photoshop update.
Hotono uses a photo from Unsplash as an example and explains that it's essential to have an idea of what you want to do with the photo before starting the process. She then walks through the process of changing the background to a forest using the "Generated Fill" feature.
Next, she changes the subject's clothing from a flower crown to a more adventurous hat. This is done by creating a selection around the crown, using the "Generated Fill" feature, and entering "hat" as the prompt.
The tutorial then moves on to adding elements that weren't originally in the photo, such as a bear and a map. Hotono explains that when expanding the width of the photo, it's necessary to use your imagination to spread it horizontally. She uses the "Generated Fill" feature to create a beautiful finish.
Hotono concludes the tutorial by emphasizing the benefits of using the "Generated Fill" feature to save time and create a realistic finish with the surroundings. She encourages viewers to check out her other content, including a self-study Photoshop book, and to subscribe to her channel for more tutorials.
