The recent updates to artificial intelligence in Photoshop, housed in the new contextual taskbar and generative fill, have been on my mind a lot lately.

If you don't know what generative fill is, it allows you to "add, remove or enhance content in images directly in Adobe Photoshop with simple text instructions powered by Adobe Firefly generative AI". You must have Photoshop version 25.0 installed to access Generative Fill.

I am by no means a fan of this and have found that it affects whether or not and how often I want to paint in Photoshop lately. Just knowing that this feature exists bothered me.

If you're like me or want to revert back to an older version of a Creative Cloud software, you can do so in the Creative Cloud app on your computer by navigating to "Applications" and then clicking on the icon with the three little dots to open a drop-down menu. There you can click on "Other versions" and install an older version of the application you are looking for.

I am now working on Photoshop 2021 v 22.2, free from the Generative Fill Feature. Back to work.
