Is Generative Fill allowed in Standard Editing? The rules say you may "use cloning or similar tools to remove unwanted objects [and replace them] with what actually would be visible if the distracting object were not there in the first place."
So, using Generative Fill in place of the clone stamp would be allowed, as long as we aren't creating a new element in the photo, is that correct?

I have a related question, hoping maybe it can be addressed alongside Scott's:
I've noticed several mentions of using Topaz Photo AI in the forums and editing steps. My (very neophyte) understanding is that Topaz uses machine learning and generative upscaling to improve sharpness, remove noise, etc. based upon pretrained comparisons of many before/after models, then applies (without injecting any new external content) that learning to generate new pixels while upscaling and improving the image upon which it is applied.
My question is whether I'm understanding this correctly and whether its use is permitted under either standard or Extended editing rules here. I'm shy about using tools like this because they are expressly prohibited on Getty, but they seem way more benign than, say, DALL-E or other tools which combine images or "draw" content based upon verbal input from the user.
To be clear: I've never used these tools. I'm asking because I admire so much of what I'm seeing here and trying to better understand where the rules interact with AI and machine learning software tools.
Wasn't sure how to frame the question, but Scott's gives a good occasion to pitch it here. 🙂

As long as you aren't creating new objects you're fine. I use Photo AI a lot to remove noise and sharpen under Standard editing rules. There are other tools I could use to do those things but PhotoAI is faster and better than other things I've tried.
As for generative fill, again, as long as you aren't creating something not in the original capture it should be fine. You can't extend the canvas with it, but removing a distraction and filling it with background is fine. Again, it could be done with other tools.
The result has to meet the rules, not the tool. |

My understanding is that if you straighten and, as a result, have "added canvas", you can fill them in with background. Am I correct? |
