In a recent experiment, Twitter user @StepnEurope decided to test out Adobe Photoshop’s latest feature, Generative Fill, on a collection of beloved memes and famous images. They chose to extend the point of view of each meme, revealing what lay beyond the frames. The results surpassed expectations, as the tool uncovered hidden details and provided a fresh perspective.
In a thread, @StepnEurope shared the before and after images, using a white frame to indicate the original meme size. Showcasing the limitless potential of Adobe Photoshop, here are some examples of what the AI came up with.
