On iPhones and iPads, Retouch has a Fill mode that lets you add AI-generated objects to your designs. To use it, you select the area you want to fill and then enter a description of the image you want the AI to add.
In the images below, we activated Retouch Fill mode and drew over the area we wanted to fill (1). Then we entered a description of the AI image to add, in this case, a TV (2). The AI generated 3 suitable images to choose from (3).
Follow the instructions below to try it out for yourself.
On iPhone and iPad
The following instructions and video show Retouch Fill for editing a background. You can use the same techniques when using Retouch Fill on other layers (only the steps to get to the Retouch option will be different).
The Retouch feature is available:
For most layers of a design, including backgrounds.
When you create AI images such as product photography and use the Change something option during the workflow.
Select Content.
Select the workspace you want to work in.
Select the design that you want to edit.
Select the layer you want to edit, for example, the Background layer.
Select Retouch.
Note: The location of the Retouch option varies. If you don't see it, scroll down the settings as it is displayed towards the bottom for some layers.
Select the Fill tab.
This is an important step as the Erase tab is selected by default and that will remove content from your design.
Use the slider to set the brush size.
Draw over the area where you want the AI-generated image to appear.
Enter a description of the image you want the AI to add. In our example, we used "Wall-mounted TV showing a nature documentary".
Select the purple and white arrow button to generate AI images.
Either:
Select one of the generated images to see how it looks in the main image.
Select the pencil icon next to the description and then edit the description.
Select the plus icon + to get the AI to generate more variations.
When you have an image you are happy with, select it and then select Apply.
Select Done.
[Optional] Use the editor settings to make further changes, such as add text or add graphics.
[Optional] Select Export to save your design as an image file on your device. You can also use the export settings to share your design.
Select X to save your design and exit the editor.
Note: Retouch Fill mode is an AI feature and so each use counts towards your AI generation limit.
Tip: AI Fill is another feature you can use to get the AI to change a design. Find out more in Change part of an image with AI Fill.
