[Adobe Photoshop CS5 and Adobe Photoshop CS5 Extended] Content-Aware Fill Brian O'Neill Hughes, Project Manager Let's take a look at a couple of features that benefit from a new technology called Content-Aware Fill. The first appears in the Healing Brush. and one of the problems with the Healing Brush, historically, is that if you were at the edge of an image, or if you were trying to remove a telephone line from an image, you would just blur the pixels or introduce artifacts. It's a great tool, but it doesn't always work the way you would like it to. You'll notice one of the changes we have here--it's called Content-Aware. It's going to take a much closer look around the edges of our selection and improve upon one of the problems that we've had for a little while now with the Healing Brush. We realize a lot of people use this so giving them the ability to see better results and, in this case, where removing a line from the photo, is really important. There's one example--let's go ahead and remove this lamp, really quickly and easily, and you can see that we're actually going to build wall texture and tone right behind that. Another example of this exists under the edit menu. Let's go ahead and load a selection here. What we want to do in this case, is remove this guy entirely--and build a wall behind him. This would be a pretty manual process, but you'll notice that Content-Aware appears as a new choice in the Film menu. I click OK, and Photoshop is going to look around the edges of the selection, it's going to look at the background, and it's going to go ahead and build a wall right where he was standing--there you go.
