Content Aware fill in selection

Hi,
I am having two problems mainly, if someone could help it would be great.
1. I have 2 documents open, one of them has a selection. I want to copy that selection and transfer it over to the other document. I am not sure how to do that.
2. I want to content aware fill the selection. Is this possible using applescript?
thanks.    

Are you asking how to do that in a script in an action or in Photoshop?  Also are the two document the same pixel size  and resolution?
In Photoshop
First make sure the documents have the same print dpi resolution.
A selection and an Alpha channel are basic the same thing so in case you have not created the alpha channel version of your selection use menu Layers>Save Selection and Fill in some Name in the pop up dialog and click OK. Then use Ctrl+D to deselect
Go to the channels palette and highlight the new alpha channel with your saved name. Then drag the channel and drop a copy on your second document.
In the second document use menu Select>Load selection use pull down to select your saved selection name.
In an Action you can not record a drag from one document and a drop on a second document. You need to use some other method.  One way is after creating the alpha channel, deselect and highlighting the new alpha channel is to do a Ctrl+A select all Ctrl+C copy the go to the second document channels Palette the click on the add new channel icon in the bottom of the palette followed by Ctrl+V paste.
In a script that for you to do....

  • White lines using Quick Selection Tool in conjunction with the Content Aware Fill.

    When using quick selection tool in conjunction with the content aware fill i get a white line where the image join is.

  • Remove a logo from a video clip with content aware fill?

    I know you can remove logo in photos using content aware fill, but you can't do it to a video clip. You can only do it to a frame, but you can't apply it to the entire video. I know photoshop is not a video editing software, but having this sort of feature makes sense for photoshop users especially with content aware fill.

    I'm a career software architect engineer of 35 years, and I have to side with Howard on this one. 
    Like Howard, I feel you're thinking about this way too simplistically.  Trying to work out what best to fill a part of an image with in 3 dimensions (x, y, and time) and have it look believable almost boggles the mind, especially thinking of a general case (your logo example is far to simplistic in itself).  The task is far from a simple looping repeat of what is being done 2 dimensionally on a still frame.  Frankly, it's more likely related to what's done with CGI, where scenes are modeled in 3D (4D actually) so certain elements can be replaced believably.
    Think about it...  If CAF is presently replacing part of an image with something it finds through some heuristics in another part of the image, and the stuff in that part of each frame is changing - and it would, because this is video, not still imagery - then it will select differently every time.  What makes you think it would select something that even resembles what it selected for another frame?  What you'd end up with is a frame by frame mishmash that would just make the outline of the selection obvious.
    Regarding CAF applied to individual frames, then your finding the result isn't coming out as expected in all the frames of the video (e.g., when you're testing this concept) may indicate a problem with the way you're using the tool, or possibly even a bug.  You might want to describe step by step what you're doing and show the result you're [not] getting.

  • How content-aware fill with smart objects

    I've done a (hopefully) fairly exhaustive search, and don't see anything on how to use these things together...
    Open an image as a smart object.  Add a layer for cloning and healing.  Maybe add a curves adjustment layer and/or a hue/sat adjustment layer.  Adjust things as needed.
    Decide you want to extend the background on one side.  Increase the canvas on that side.  Select the chunk of canvas.  What process should be used to employ the content-aware fill for that new piece of canvas?  I don't seem to be able to have the smart object layer selected.  If I have another layer selected the fill fails saying there aren't enough opaque (?) pixels.

    Oddly, I can't even find any discussion on this anywhere...  There's got to be a better way than what I've tried so far.
    At present the only way I've found is to
    duplicate the smart object
    rasterize it
    select the part to fill
    do the content-aware fill
    leave the selection on and copy/paste the selection so it's on a new layer
    delete the rasterized copy of the smart object
    There's gotta be a better/smarter/faster way than this...  How are other people doing this?

  • Dak's content aware fill action in PSE 10

    Hi, There is an action available as some of you will no for PSE 9 (Dak's content aware fill action)
    However for some reason the action will not work in PSE 10.
    What it does, it allows you to make a selection and then fill that selection, like content aware fill command in CS5.
    Is there any wizkids out there who maybe able to get the action to work in PSE 10 or figure out why it will not work?

    Specifically about colour curves, have you tried the free SmartCurve plug-in?
    http://www.softpedia.com/get/Multimedia/Graphic/Graphic-Plugins/SmartCurve.shtml
    I don't know if it can be used as an adjustment layer, but it can certainly adjust curves for individual channels.
    In general, since I will never be able to afford the "big" Photoshop, I've found that I need to use a few image editing programs -- no individual program has all the features PS does, so I use PSE, Corel's CorelDraw Graphics Suite X5, and the free Paint.Net.  It's a balancing act between cost/benefit.  (By the way, the CDRGS PhotoPaint does have a curves adjustment layer.)

  • Content aware fill at edge of picture

    Hello all,
    I've just purchased and installed CS5.  I love the content aware fill feature.  I have an issue with it for which I'm looking for some suggestions...
    I have a photo with a rope that goes through that I want to eliminate.  The background is grass and sky.  The content aware healing works great everywhere except when I extend the area that I want to fix all the way to the edge of the photo.  Away from the edges I get what I expect.  But at the edge, I get black or white "residue" overlayed on the cleaned up area.  Same thing happened when I tried to eliminate a foot that shows up at the bottom edge of the frame.
    Suggestions?
    Thanks,
    Charlie

    Some other things to try:
    Select the image around the edges, making sure you expand the selection into the "good" pixels a little ways, then use the Edit - Fill function rather than using the Spot Healing brush.  This was the way that was shown in one of the CS5.com videos.
    Another thing that might help under certain conditions - if you actually have data beyond the edges of the canvas (which can happen if you've been combining data or have used crop with the "Hide" option rather than Delete:  Try dragging the crop tool around the entire image then selecting the Delete button, then cropping.  I'm not sure but I think Content Aware Fill might be sensitive to image data that extends beyond the edges of the canvas.

  • Content Aware Fill--"not enough memory"

    After watching a video on Adobe's site about using the new "Content aware fill" tool in CS5, I am attempting to fill the blank space left when merging five images to make a panorama. The resulting file, after flattening, is 296M. When I select the blank area around the image and attemp to content fill, it begins work and then stops about halfway through with this message, "Could not fill because there is not enough memory (RAM)".
    I'm running a MacPro (3,1) with OS 10.6.3, with 26 GB RAM. Photoshop recognizes all the RAM, and I have dedicated 22 GB just for Photoshop. Surely this is enough RAM for just about any operation one can attempt in Photoshop. PS is running in 64 bit, too. Any help on this issue would be very much appreciated.

    Murph my first thought on this is there might be something else runniing that is eating up your memory.
    I'm running a Mac Pro 2008 with 24GB rams with 70% or just over 16GB available and have had
    no issues doing the same thing you are attempting on tiff images that are 1.4GB in size.
    Check your activity monitor and see what's running and how much memory is being used by other
    processes.

  • Content Aware Fill: limitations

    I have been testing the new content aware fill in Photoshop CS5 trial  version.  Most of my interest is to remove long spans of power lines  from my landscape photos.  Every attempt I have made so far fails with a  message not enough data once the region around the power lines is  selected and content aware fill is applied.
    Has anyone successfully applied content aware fill to such fine detail  as a power line?  Is there something I am missing?  I currently use CS4.   Content aware fill that worked for power lines is one of the primary  reasons I would upgrade to CS5 in addition to be able to run Photoshop  as 64 bit application on my Mac.

    Hi,
    Use the 'Spot Healing Brush' instead of the Healing Brush; it has the content aware option on the top and it really does work well. I just used it on a job removing floor cracks in some supermarket images and using many short strokes instead of a few long ones worked perfectly. Nice for those powerlines, too!
    Good luck

  • Content Aware Fill not responding

    CS5 running 64 bit Windows 7 on a Dell Studio1747 icore 7 with 6 gig mem is not responding to a delete to start Content Aware Fill. How do I reset it? Drop down under Edit only show content-aware-scale.
    I select the blank area, modify to expand pixels and then "delete" and content aware fill use to work when i first installed the program but now i can't get it going. Shift- DEL, CTRL Del
    How do you REset CS5????

  • CS5 64-bit Content Aware Fill kills Healing brush, clone stamp

    Here's the deal:
    1)  Open image for retouching-background layer only
    2)  Make copy of background layer 'cause I never retouch there and CAF won't work on the blank layer I use for all other retouching
    3)  Add blank layer above the previous two layers for clone stamp/healing work--can't use it for content-aware fill
    4)  Find something that will retouch better with CAF than cloning or healing and fix it with CAF on layer 2
    5)  The healing brush and clone stamp now do not work.  I can see them, and the clone stamp continues to preview in the brush correctly, but when clicked nothing happens.
    The only solution I've found is to save the image and restart CS5.

    Okay, I duplicated your setup exactly with CS5 64 bit on Win 7 x64.  Background layer, copy of background layer, and transparent touch-up layer.
    You are unclear about exactly how you're invoking the Content Aware Fill.
    I went through exactly the steps you suggested, as evidenced by the following Photoshop Edit log excerpt.  I saw NO difficulties using the Clone tool in the last step.
    Are you aware you can use the SPOT Healing Brush, in Content Aware mode, to do what you're doing on the transparent top layer (thereby avoiding the need to work on the background copy layer)?  It is able to deal with the image being on the lower layers.

  • Content Aware Fill in CS5

    According to a Russell Brown tutorial:    Select an area, key Shift + Delete, and the Content Aware Fill dialog opens; but I don't get the Content Aware Fill dialog.     It just clears/cuts the selected area as in previous versions.
    The tutorial doesn't indicate any further required steps, but I must be missing something????

    Photoshop Help indicated that EDIT/FILL must be selected, and that worked.  
    Doesn't say anything about SHIFT/DELETE.  Am I missing something here?

  • Disappointed in PS CS5 content aware fill

    My first few attempts at using the content aware fill have been disappointing. I created a panorama and wanted to fill the foreground (misty water) and the sky (cloudy) to the top and bottom of the frame.  I selected the transparent pixel areas that needed to be filled with the water and sky, then I expanded the selection 6 pixels, so that PS had some pixels to reference for the filling operation. There wasn't much sky above the tree line, but the content aware fill worked fine in this area. However filling the foreground with the misty water did not. PS insists on referencing pixels well out of my selection and using these as part of the fill. Even after repeatedly undoing and redoing the content aware fill, PS insisted on using pixels well out of the selected pixels to create the new content aware fill. Why is this?
    It seems that the only user control over this tool is the selected pixels. Shouldn't this tell PS the pixels you want it to reference for creating the fill? Why does PS insist on going well outside of the selected pixels for a reference. If I wanted it to reference other areas of the photo I would simply include those areas in or very close to the selection. Isn't the tool suppose to use the selection as a guide? How can you tell the tool to use the selected pixels as a reference?

    Content Aware Fill simply does not work! 
    I would suggest that once you use a tool such as magnetic lasso or marquis square to define an area:
      To replace:
      1. Tones with colour (e.g. a scratch on a car, breadcrumbs on a tabletop)
      a. The eyedropper be used to sample a colour.
      b. Once the colour is defined, then the content aware is used.
      2. Pattern with a pattern (e.g. beach sand to replace dead fish and weeds on a beach)
      a. Use the rubber stamp to define the pattern that will replace the "corrupt" area
       b. Once the pattern is defined, then the content aware is used.
      The problem also has to do with Internet reporters or whatever they're called. They all follow each other and make the same comments.
       What happens is that all of these NetPorters end up almost verbatum with the same same material. Unfortunately, software netporting is not unique.
       The same holds true for stock netporting. Some "expert" in some office off Wallstreet (everyone is moving away from there) writes that Company B23W1X
       should make $1.78 a share with net profit for the quarter to be $ 148,000,000. Pretty soon there are 100,000,000 same same articles copied verbatum from
       the NET or some other "expert" copied form the first  netporter expert , but "adjusted" the data by 1 cent and for the profit 138,000,000. COmpany B23W1X only makes $ 1.77 a share mand only $ 147,999,999.00.      
      What happens - all the brokerage houses sell.
    Unfortunately, what happens with software is that everyone forks over a bundle of money for the "new features" only to find out they don't always work!
    Bottom line: wait a few months till the regular public and users start posting.
    The same stampede has occurred with Apple's new operating system Lion OS 10.7. Apple sold 1 million  of this OS in 1 day!
    I waited, and started to read the problems people were having. I'm still considering the new OS.

  • Content-aware-fill and magic-wand-tool

    Hello! I use the content-aware-fill to remove some text from a photo. To do so, I use the "Polygonal Lasso Tool", select the text with a generous border and click edit -> fill -> content-aware-fill.
    This works fine, but selecting a text with the lasso-tool is very much work. So I tried to use the magic-wand-tool - some clicks and the text is selected, very fast and fine. No applying the content-aware-fill - the text vanishes somehow, but the borders of the text are still visible. I guess you really have to select the text AND some background around it to make content-aware-fill work. But isn't there a way to do this with the magic-wand-tool? Increasing the tolerance didn't work, I would need something like "magic-wand-tool and increase the selected area +20 pixels in all directions".
    What procedure do you suggest?

    Are you trying to remove a watermark that says something like "Proof" or "Copyright"?  If so, you won't get much help here.  The best advice in that case is to actually pay for the photo.  It's surprising how many people ask for help doing illegal things.
    Please confirm you are not trying to defeat someone's copyright (e.g., post a small part of the image), and I'm sure you'll get more help.

  • Removing Print from a Photo with Photoshop CS5's Content-Aware Fill

    If I have a whole line of type on top of a photo a clients sends me and I want to remove it, can I mark the whole line off with the Healing Brush Tool and proceed? Or do I need to select each letter individually?
    Thank you.

    I was able to remove the whole line of typ at once and have Content-Aware Fill do its magic to the whole area where there'd once been type.
