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????
Thanks

Reset Photoshop preferences back to defaults:
When you start Photoshop, hold Ctrl+Alt+Shift

  • 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.

  • Photoshop Elements 13 Content Aware Fill Not Working

    Hello, all. I am sort of new to Elements 13 and seem to have run into a bit of a blockade. I'm trying to eliminate a tree in the background of a photo with content aware fill capability; however, when I try this it loads as if it's working on it but when it's finished nothing has changed. I thought perhaps it wasn't prominent enough to recognize what to fill (which did seem unlikely), so I went ahead and tried it on something more isolated and still nothing is happening. I feel as though I must have something set incorrectly because a lot of my other tools aren't working either, but I can't imagine what it is I've done wrong.

    When the editor gets weird, the first thing to do is to delete the preferences. Go the editor preferences>general, click this button and restart the editor:

  • Content-aware filling error: not enough data to fill it in a Content-Aware manner

    Hello,
    Brand new to CS5.  I am trying the new "great" feature, Content-Aware filling (CAF).  I am selecting an object and copying it onto a new layer.  I am getting the following error:
    Could not fill because there’s not enough data to fill it in a Content-Aware manner
    Thanks!

    not enough data to fill it in a Content-Aware manner
    Shouldn't the warning be "the Content-Aware feature requires more data to operate"… "thanks so much for your patience… xxx Adobe".
    Its the strange and unnecessary use of the word "it" that gets me every time.

  • Content aware fill, fills with black'ish color but not content "CS6 beta"

    Hi guys,
    I am working on a pano, which i am rotating and straighting, the idea being to use content aware fill to fill in the gap in the sky. However, when I apply the Content aware fill, I am getting a darkish block of color where i had done my marque selection.
    Hopefully this is visable in the image attached
    I am not sure if its because of the size of the image (approx 150x30in @ 300dpi) 2.8gb. but i have 96gb of ram so that shouldn't be an issue.
    anyway, i thought id share this and hopefully also find a solution
    thanks
    Henrik
    Sorry just adding some more system details:
    Windows 7 Pro x64. Dual Xeon x5650, EVGA Sr-2,

    Just want to add, that small selections are ok, as in I can do contentaware fill, on small selections, but not across the whole pano.
    thanks for looking

    R_Kelly, Sorry I am late in getting back with you, have been out of town on business. I think I found out what I was doing wrong. I created a duplicte background layer and had not check off sample both layers. Corrected this and my problem has gone away.

  • Can't get Content Aware Fill in CS5 to work as advertised in many tutorials...

    I have tried unsuccessfully to get Content Aware Fill in CS5 to work as advertised in the dozens of tutorials I have watched.  I have used many of the techniques, but unless the background is a simple one, CAF seems to drag in stuff from all over (even if I protect it in a mask) the background.  Is there some special trick I am not aware of?

    That doesn't work as advertized. Make your selection save it with a name as a Channel. When Content Aware Scale is now selected,  I get a bounding box around the selection. Enable Protect and nothing changes. The bounding box is still there and is the only part of the image that will respond and not even as Content Aware. It just moves around. I've tried it over and over with the tutorial open so I could follow and the only difference I can see is he is on a Mac.
    What I want to do is stretch so here is the steps;
    Make a new Layer the size of the finished image. Move the image into that. You have a white space ready to be filled. Select the protected area. Save as  Channel with Name. Go to ContentAware Scale. A Bounding Box immediately appears around the selection. That is the only adjustable part, not the entire image.

  • Using content aware fill in photomerge

    I have three images (TIFF files total size about 240MB) that I want to create a panoramic from. I use photomerge in CS5. All works well (in 64 bit) but when I choose the content aware fill option an error message comes up (see image). I have 4GB Ram memory on my 3.06 Ghz Intel Core Duo Processor. The message that it could not complete the fill because there is not enough memory should not happen. My system fits all the requirements to run CS5. Is this a bug in the adobe software? Is there someone with expertise on this that can advise me?
    Much appreciated
    LS

    Chris:
    Perhaps you can help me with a somewhat related problem.  I can't get the following Commands to operate in 64 bit, i.e., Photomerge, Merge to HDR and Load into Photoshop Layers.  They work fine in 32 bit despite the fact that you're limited to only a moderate amount of RAM in 32 bit (1470).  When I'm in 64 bit mode, the amount of RAM I've allocated is 5348.  I'm working on a Quad Core Mac Pro with a whole 1 TB hard drive dedicated to as a scratch disk.  This doesn't make sense to me that when you're throwing more capacity at the process is when the problem arises.  What I consistently get is a dialog box stating "Photoshop Quite Unexpectedly."

  • 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.

  • Content aware fill - how to sample from small area?

    Is there a way how to sample from small area and then apply content aware fill to the much more bigger area? For example - there is an object on a table. The object fills 90% of the image and the table 10% image. Now, I just want to delete the object. But that doesnt work with content aware fill, because the area around it is much smaller. Is there a solution for this?

    I am not sure that CAF is the right tool if you want to fill a large area sampling from a small area.  You might get away with doing it in stages
    One trick is copy just those areas you want to sample from, to a new layer, and use CAF on that layer, but without seeing your image, it is difficult to say what the best aproach is going to be.  

  • Content-Aware Fill working poorly in CC 2014

    Content-Aware Fill does a very poor job in CC 2014. Color is off, density is off, texture is off. Is anyone else having this problem?
    I had to switch back to the last version of CC in order to work on my current project.

    I have absolutely no idea why you are addressing your reply to me, Ziggy,
    Besides, it's a non sequitur. Having a "PC with Windows 7" is no indication of having a good machine, not even a poor machine.  It tells us nothing.

  • 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 and layers

    One thing I'd been wondering about very eagerly is whether the content-aware fill feature(s) would source their content from multiple layers, or only from the current layer, or whether there might be an option, as for the clone stamp tool for example, to choose whether the current layer, the current layer and below, or all layers were sampled for content.
    I hadn't noticed any demonstration of content-aware fill on a document having multiple pixel layers.
    Here are the results from my testing. (They may be wrong!)
    What I want to be able to do, is to put a single "corrections" layer at the top of a layer stack, and to make local corrections using content from all layers below—with the latter being rasterized on the fly as necessary, so that the cumulative effect of masks, layer effects, blending modes, transparency, knockout, adjustment layers and anything else, are all used as content for the corrections. Until now I've done something similar but more limited with the clone stamp tool. Content awareness seemed to offer greater promise, for three reasons. (1) No back and forth: no choosing and monitoring of source pixels. (2) No visible softening of the correction at the edge of the brush. (3) The promise of imperceptible results with very little thought or work.
    So, can we do this?
    For fill, content-awareness only extends to pixels in the current layer. It doesn't look below. If the current layer is empty, then Photoshop comes back with a message that filling is not possible in content-aware mode, because not enough content can be found. If the current layer is blank (e.g. all white), then you just get more blank. That's fair enough. You could use content-aware fill early, on source layers, or late and destructively, after flattening. But not what I'm looking for.
    The same is not true of the spot healing brush, which has both a "content aware" option and a "sample all layers option". And it works wonders. It does exactly what I want. Empty layer, sample all layers, run the the brush over dodgy parts of the image, and hey presto—it really does feel as if you have a wand in your hand.
    This feature alone would be enough to persuade me to upgrade to CS5, since it will save me hours of work and produce a better result (in my context, cartography). Well done Adobe.

    You're asking about a pretty rarified realm.  Not a whole lot of people ever have 24GB let alone beyond.
    I stitch big panos all the time, though 1 GP is a fair bit larger than most I do; mine are in the 100-300 MP range.  I should mention I almost exclusively edit in 16 bits/channel mode.  I also use content aware fill fairly regularly without problems.  In my case I have 8 GB of RAM in a Dell Precision workstation.  It doesn't seem to get too winded with 8 GB, so 24 GB seems about right for what you want.
    You definitely DO want a workstation that's been purpose-built for extra throughput and reliability if you're going to be working on ultra-large datasets.
    I'd say buy the workstation with 24 GB of RAM and see how it goes.  Also the RAID is a very good idea (I use RAID 0).  Apparently the 6 Gb/sec SATA stuff is starting to become real too, though most drives can't even keep up with the old 3 Gb speed yet.

  • Content aware fill functionality in PSE 9

    The press release for PSE 9 states "the Content Aware Fill technology introduced with Photoshop CS5 is one of our most exciting innovations ever, so we’re thrilled to be able to make it accessible to photo and video enthusiasts in this latest Elements release" and that "the content intelligence in the Spot Healing Brush" has been "adapted from Photoshop CS5’s celebrated Content Aware Fill feature".
    In what way does this functionality as implemented in PSE 9 differ from that in PS CS5?  Clearly it's not the same functionality otherwise the press release and product description would say so.  Has it been crippled in any significant way or just implemented differently?
    This feature is the only reason I would upgrade to PSE 9.  Can anyone with direct experience please confirm whether or not I would be disappointed?

    You know, I completely forgot that there's a free action you can download that will enable the content-aware patching:
