This was very helpful! Using the quick mask mode is way faster than the channel mixer method everyone else is using. Plus, I have been able to use it to select just faces in images where the rest of the picture was turned into a nice painting, and regenerate the face again and again until I get a good render by using the quick mask to change the selection to 30% opacity. Then your watercolor brush finish is such a great addition, thank you! Subscribed!

the quick mask is not working for me. I don't get the red show up when i select quickmask and when i do the gen fill it makes a completely different picture

Hey, sorry to hear you're having problems. Make sure to follow all the steps, especially the step about creating a 30% brightness foreground colour as that is what stops gen fill from creating a different picture.

Beautiful! To be able to make watercolor paint like you did, do I need both Photoshop US$22.99/mo and then ad Adobe FireflyUS$4.99/mo? You have downloaded the app and Firefly seems to be an online app. Appreciate if you can help me.

Hey, firefly is built into Photoshop so you don’t need to buy both. Photoshop has generative ai that uses the same engine as firefly.

Sorry to hear you’re having troubles. Make sure you’re creating a transparent quick mask that gen fill is being applied to. This is an important step that stops it from generating something completely new.

I liked your approach. But when I tried your steps the quick mask did not create a new layer and the generative fill was not applying the water color to the photo.

It's not you. actually had created an action months ago and produced some stunning watercolor facsimiles. When I tried the action again with the updated beta the action just creates a blue watercolor (blob) layer with no transparency reference to the original at all. Even starting from scratch doesn't work no matter what method I try (channels or mask). Adobe changed this for some reason.

Likely you need to make sure you have Photoship Beta version.

Why is no longer working? It only generates a blur abstract image with blue hues at the end. Any news when Adobe is going to bring back this watercolour effect? It's frustrating to give you a feature and then take it back, while it was perfectly working!!

Sorry to hear you’re having trouble. I have tried in the latest version of PSD and the feature still works. If it is taking over your whole image then sounds like an issue around the selection/quick mask stage.

Please revise this lesson as some of the steps were missed, such as how to add a background layer to another layer where it just appears

why using quick mask?

@Studio.Shephrd

We want to create a transparent selection to basically create a filter overlay. Otherwise you will replace the whole image. You can also use channels to create a transparent selection.

If you accept the latest release of Photoshop, it breaks this ability. April 23, 2024, I believe. The new version implements "reference image" like Firefly 2 and does away with AI paint based alpha referencing. The tool for reference image works decently, but conforms to its interpretation rather than holding on to the original pixels as desired.
