Content aware healing in PrPro?

i'm pretty sure there is not, but i'm gonna ask anyway, incase i may have missed something.
say you have a video with a few bad frames per minute, total project is about 40 minutes long, and basically about 3 times a minute, theres a bad frame or a hiccup, or a fram of bad pixelation, or something. is there anyway to delete the bad frames, and automate PrPro a way to heal those empty frame sqares with material to the left and right of it (basically, going jurassic park on it and filling the gaps with comperable material?) i've already deleted all the bad frames in a copy of my sequence, but as far as filling them again... i realize i can do this by hand... but it would save sanity if there was a way to say "fill empty gaps with frames touching gaps" effect any luck? or do i have a long weekend ahead of me?

No way in PrPro, no, but I remember seeing something like that done in a YouTube video showcasing some of the improvements in Photoshop CS5--not everyone knows this, but you actually can import video into Photoshop and work with it on a frame-by-frame level. In the YouTube video, this guy had some footage of Buckingham Palace (I think) and wanted to remove some people from in front of it. Rather than rotoscoping it out with AE, he imported it into PS and used the content aware healing to remove it--he was able to set it up to do the first frame manually, and then it automated the rest of the frames based on what he did for the first frame. Pretty sweet, but I doubt it would work for a 40 minute video unless you had a cr*pload of memory... His footage was only like 15 or 20 seconds and it sucked down his memory pretty quickly.

Content aware healing

Using the healing brush can slow my system so much it takes several minutes for my system to catch up. Does't happen every time, I think only when I have multiple edits. When it slows I can watch my brush change size in increments that take about one second per increment to change.

Since Lightroom doesn't have Content Aware Healing, what product are you talking about?

Does it have content aware healing

Does aperture have content aware healing brushes

Aperture has a Retouch Brush that works similar to Photoshop's Spot Healing Brush. This works very well for removing spots left by sensor dust, skin blemishes, etc. It will not create data in the way that Photoshop's Content-aware Fill does. Content-aware healing, though, Aperture handles well.
Note, too, that Aperture allows the use of an external editor. Everyone I know using Aperture for most of the development work done on digital camera files, but keeps Photoshop or another graphics program on hand for the few cases where it is needed.

Help CS5 content aware healing brush

Sorry for the dumb question folks. I just upgraded and when I click on my healing brush, I do not have a Content Aware option. What am I doing wrong. The porgram defaults to asking me to option click to determine what to use. I am running CS5 on and Imac.
Thanks for the help.

The content aware option is for the spot healing brush, not the healing brush.

Remove unwanted objects with content-aware healing

This question was posted in response to the following article: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/photoshopelements/using/WS287f927bd30d4b1f-1a883eeb12e2803aa4d -7fdd.html

Have no idea what I did, so don't even ask. lol Double clicked on background layer and ended up creating a clipping mask. The using spot healing brush, I was able to remove water hose by the side of the pool, like I originally intended. I finally had upgraded from PSE 7 because of content aware fill and photomerge (and other stuff lol). The only thing was I seem to have lost my background layer. No problem, was working on a test file copy. Worked pretty good though. Not just have to find out what happened to my background layer. It was locked but ????? lol

Why Has The View Image @ %age Gone??? and Comment on 'Content Aware' Healing Brush.

PLEASE, PLEASE BRING BACK the View Image @ 'x' %. on the Top Bar.
It is necessary to view all images at 100% to check for dust on sensor.
It is necessary to view portrait images at 50% to remove obvious skin blemishes before final editing.
Two 'clicks' on CS5 - A convoluted process in CS6 Beta!
Omitting this option is a major retrograde step!
Appreciate the difficulties with this option and it is a plus.
Would be great if you could select an area in one area of image and scale it content aware into another selected area!

There are various ways such as using the Clone Source Panel to scale the source and then use the healing brush, though it doesn't have content aware per se.

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.

Spot healing brush with content aware or proximity match?

I want to do the following:
1. get rid of wrinkles, blemishes and dark circles under the eyes
What is the difference between using the content aware option and the proximity match option with the spot healing brush? Aren't they both blending surrounding pixels to get rid of the blemishes, wrinkles and dark circles?
Thanks.

Proximity Match is how the Healing Brush works, it takes the surrounding pixels and blends them together with the underlying stuff. Content Aware on the other hand tries to recreate the texture based on the surrounding pixels so it doesn't blend with the pixels that you just painted over. Try both, see which one produces better results for you.

Red Eye and Healing with Content Aware

I was fortunate in being able to see the African Children's Choir in 2009 and today thought I would put some of the images through PSE 10. Issue 1 of 2: I'm not having any luck getting rid of red eye. I zoom in so that I'm hitting it dead on but instead of getting a correction, a black blob appears on their heads! My guess is that their wide orange head bands are causing confusion but why is it happening so far away from where I'm clicking? Issue 2 of 2 is a problem using the healing brush. I have Content Aware selected and have tried eliminating a couple of mic stands. No matter what size I make the brush, the program doesn't read anything correctly. I've had issues with using it on other photo's as well. Sometimes there is something I can't get it to remove not matter how many times I go over the spot. Power lines are a real annoyance when it gets everything but one bit. In desperation (and when it is possible) I have used copy and paste to get rid of things like that but using it has its own set of problems. Help!

Here's a photo for practicing that I found on the Web:
If you hit the "Auto" button on the Options bar for the RedEye Removal tool, does it work?
My settings for the RER tool are
Pupil Size: 50%
Darken Amount: 50%
Can you manually remove the red eye in this photo?
If not, click on the down arrow at the far left of the Options bar and select "Reset Tool", then try again.
If everything works OK on this image, then we'd have to see your problem picture to test.

Show us the problem photo and the result you get when you use the tool.

Yes, sometimes the Spot Healing Brush doesn't completely remove all the bits. Sometimes repeating 4 times does it, sometimes going across the area at a right angle to the original path of the Spot Healing Brush does it. If not, there's nothing to do but use the Clone Tool to clean things up. One thing about the Spot Healing Brush is that the larger the size of the brush used, the wider the area it "pulls in" to do the healing. Try setting the brush size very small. Here's an example of what I mean:
http://forums.adobe.com/message/3849808#3849808
The Spot Healing Brush can be difficult to use with power lines, especially lines that are close together. Again, try setting the brush size very, very small, and going across the former path of the line (at a right angle) to clean up the leftovers. There's also a free filter, Wire Worm, which can help:

CS6 content aware fill and spot healing smudge

I just upgraded to CS6 64 bit under Windows 7. I used content aware fill and the spot healing tool on CS5 under XP with no problems. Now under CS6 they leave a smudge. For example, if the is a spot on a vein of a leaf, now, instead of removing the spot and filling in the line of the vein I just get a smudge the size of the spot healing brush.
Content aware fill now leaves a smudged and obviously poor result.
Is there some new option or behavior under CS6 that I need to understand to fix this or is this simply a bug?
Thanks for any and all help.
Selby

I have been experimenting and have found out something more. Previously, before doing a content aware fill operation I would create a new layer at the top of the layer stack that was a merge of all layers below it (Ctrl-Alt-Shift-E) and the content aware fill operation worked very well.
In CS6 it now appears to me that it still gets influenced by the lower layers in the stack, despite the fact that it is operating on the merge of those layers. If I duplicate the image, and then flatten the duplicate, the content aware fill operation then in some cases works as I would expect. I then duplicate the layer back to my original image, delete the parts I don't need and put it at the top of the stack in my original image.
So something appears to have changed in CS6 and it might be a bug.

Spot Healing Brush Content-Aware SLOW! on large files

I updated from Photoshop CC to CC 2014. When working with ultra large format scans (more than 3 Gigapixel) the Spot Healing Brush set on Content-Aware takes unusually long (5-7 seconds for retouching small dust spots). In Photoshop CC the same Content-Aware Spot Healing Brush actions were executed instantly without any perceived delays once I've pointed a source for the Clone Stamp tool (which I found weird but doing so really made the Spot Healing Brush faster on large files). On smaller images it's still very fast on CC 2014 but not on the 3.5 GPixel images I'm working on at the moment.
I know there have been some changes/improvements for the Content-Aware tools but in this case it's seriously hitting the performance. I haven't noticed any other slow-downs in processing performance with the update.
I'm working on a dual-CPU (2 x 2.4 GHz 6-core) and 128 GB RAM Windows 8.1 machine. I've allowed Photoshop to use up to 120 GB RAM.
Is there any way to reset the Content-Aware Spot Healing Brush to work as fast as it had before the CC 2014 update?

My performance settings are the same for CC and CC 2014.
I assume the problem is introduced by the changes/improvements of the Content-Aware tools and on normal file sizes it might not matter for the user if the operation takes 25 or 200 ms. But on large files it seriously slows down the retouching work.
So far I've been doing as you suggested, using CC for that type of work. But as it takes about 90 minutes to save these huge files and AFAIK Photoshop CC and CC 2014 cannot be run as separate instances simultaneously it's quite inconvenient not being able to use CC 2014 for some other type of work while CC is saving the file.
If the new Content-Aware functions take that much more processing it would be great to have a choice (similar to the choice of the RAW-engine used in ACR). However, if the new Content-Aware functions are just not yet optimized for fast performance then it's a bug.
I will file a Feature Request/Bug Report and ask if there is anything that can be done about it in Photoshop CC 2014.
Thanks for your help, Eugene.

Content aware has gone from the healing tool option bar

Help the content aware box has gone from the healing tool option bar, so has proximity match & create texture. I have tried resetting tool, which didn't work, but don't know what else to try. I am new to photoshop

I think you want the Spot Healing Brush for those options.
What version of photoshop?
from photoshop 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.
CS5 64-bit, Win7 Pro 64 bit, Core2duo e8400, 8gigs RAM

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.

Spot Healing - Content Aware

In the past I have used the spot healing brush in content aware mode to remove unwanted items from images. Recently, instead if "erasing" the item, it is leaving a blurred streak. Can anyone suggest a reason?
Using Photoshop CS6 extended - Mac.

Just purchased and installed Elements 9. Also have purchased Elements 6,7,CS2,CS5.
The content aware was the first tool I used, just to see if was as good as in CS5, CRASHED !
Who would have thought that people still operating with single core processors would buy this Adobe product?
2 thumbs up to your R&D department Adobe! Shouldn't this have been caught in a Beta version?
How about buying mine back.....................

Pen tool/path and content aware spot healing brush to remove cables (CS5)

Tried to remove some cables from an image using Russel Brown's video making use of the pen tool/path and the spot healing brush with content aware. I'm pretty sure I followed his tutorial exactly but it did not work satisfactorily. Are there any other tweaks I should be using to remove these cables and replace them with the background details?

Yes to all.
Silkrooster - Looks great! However, I believe spot healing brush was the first I tried and got smudgy results, especially in area of the locks where there is a lot of detail behind the cables. Found the patch tool works best, but not where there is a lot of detail behind the cables.
Fosse - Well, the bow of the ship going through the Panama Canal at 6 AM in the morning is a popular place, very crowded, and not one of them a photographer. I was lucky enough to get the last spot which was dead center, but in front of the cables. I tried to prevail on some people next to me to trade spots, but none were willing ($##$!!!&& b---ds) and they didn't even have cameras. However, will keep your suggestion in mind about taking two shots for the next time...and will have to get up earlier.
I think if I want to really make this work, I will have to do a lot of work, probably using a combination of all these methods.
Thanks to you all.
By the way, Re my question on screens without a reply button...when I click on a response, it appears without any reply button. How do I get a screen showing the reply button without entering a new question, cancelling out of it, and then clicking on a response, which is the only way I found to get a screen showing the reply button.
