Photoshop AI generation cleaning

[Madokami]

First I saw this Bubble Blaster tool to help cleaning, very impressive, but them this video shows up Manga cleaner before photoshop AI generation update and after
Is this real ?
I did some cleaning many years ago and none of this exist back then. Those tools seems like magic, makes me wanna get back to scanlation. As soon as I get to a decent level of japanese I could do some just for practice.

Ad bot- No hold on. This is legit, right?

CL & RD with that photoshop tool never works for me. Always just puts some random black lines everywhere.

AI you say?

It's kind of expensive though, for the $10 photoshop plan you only get like 100 uses a month. A bit better for the $20 plan where you get 500 uses a month, but then again it's starting to get expensive for a hobby.
Adobe being cheapskates reduced the $10 plan from 250 to 100 uses a year ago, and if you didn't subscribe at that time you've lost out on that deal.
Otherwise Panel Cleaner is an alternative too for bubble cleaning.

Around ~2014, I used CS6, and I believe content-aware filling was already there,
before that, I used CS3, and I don't think content aware was there yet.
And I still have the installers for both in my storage.

Content aware fill is decent and works like magic some times, but still it's not AI generative fill.

yup, but that's what I used back then to edit pictures
(I also used to helped my friend doing CL/RD for a few weeks back then just for fun)
it is not always 100% hand-drawn brush like in that short

I basically just use content aware fill and clone tool, you can get pretty far with that. It's a pain drawing with a mouse, so if you want to redraw like that you'd be better of with a tablet with a pen honestly.
Though my biggest trick is usually just covering it up with big text and strokes. Works wonders.

yup
I like to edit/destroy my manga collections just for my own fun,
things like

Spoiler: removing the remaining white page

and I only use content-aware and clone for the most part.
I mean, I still use 2022 version, so no generative fill for me

A nice generative fill alternative is iOPaint.
IOPaint: Free AI generative fill. Pretty decent, but it's kind of hard to install if you're not into using the terminal. I managed to make it work with pytorch 2.5.0 and torchvision 0.20.
Web version here, but it takes like 20 seconds instead of a couple of seconds if you install it on your pc.
