Some of you may not be aware, but the wonderful AI and Generative Fill features that have been added this year don’t come unconditionally.

Each month you have a fixed number of Credits or clicks you can use. 

When they are used up at the moment the only penalty is Photoshop runs slower (not sure if that’s on all functionality or just the generative fills / AI??)  but it makes me wonder if Adobe will start metering out these new add on features in the same way as limited minutes/text on mobile phones, whereby if you go over your limit you start to pay more and expensively!  Something to watch.

Because I have been experimenting a lot with these new features it’s no surprise that I have already exhausted my credits this month. At the moment I am still able to use the features but need to monitor it carefully next month when Adobe set in place their new strategy for these features.

The sad thing about this is that I can understand them charging/limiting the AI part of the program as it’s using their stock images as well as the programming. But it also includes the generative fill which is a super slick alternative to manual cloning.  It means every time you lasso a picture defect or extend the canvas and hit generative one of your credits has gone!!!

Adobe are suggesting that if I want more credits than the 100 they are giving with the £10/month subscription, I can always change my plan = pay more /month!
