'Content aware' not in Fill dropdown

I have recently upgraded to cs5 from cs2 but when I try to use Content Aware it does not appear in "Edit', 'Fill'. I cannot see that anyone else has had this problem - am I alone?

Actually i meant a screenshot of the cs5 photoshop program when it's open, sorry for the confusion.
When you look under Edit>Fill the content aware option is not there or just grayed out and your
looking at the spot healing brush and not the healing brush for content aware?

Content aware not working

HI all I've got a copy of CS5 extended and for somereason content aware is no longer working.
here is an example:
To the left you can see the white area I am trying to fill, so I realise this is a big area and select only a portion, making sure I've got enough of the sky to make a good copy and then go shift backspace or edit>fill and get up the content aware dialogue.
And up comes the dialogue box, I press ok and nothing happens?
Anyway know what this is about. I can go in and clone it but this seems wierd.
Thanks
Sj

It's not a good sign, when something doesn't work then does after restarting the app. It's possible the panorama stitching process left some corruption in memory or used up some resources that were needed for Content Aware Fill to work.
These latest "gee whiz" features Adobe has added to Photoshop always seem a little less stable to me than the rest of the product. In some cases I know they're packages they purchased, rather than engineered themselves, so the level of integration might be a little lower behind the scenes than with the "native" features engineered in-house. In practical terms, this means you probably want to save your work often, in several different places, and maybe even restart Photoshop after doing "big" things.
And to be fair, Photoshop relies heavily on OpenGL, and the OpenGL implementations done by the video card makers are not always perfectly stable - this can leave latent corruption in Photoshop's memory causing problems later. If you've had unexplained trouble, it's always a good idea to check to see if your video card maker has published a newer display driver for your hardware on their web site.
Do you have a lot of free space on your scratch drive? I know that the panorama stitching process can use a LOT of scratch space. I ask because running out of scratch space might cause unexpected failures.
Also, how much memory do you have, and what are your settings in Edit - Preferences - Performance?

Content aware not enough ram

If I try to use content aware unless I select a tiny area and nowhere near the size of the area selected in any of the online demos,I get a meassage that I am out of memory [ram]?
When I look in preferences in cs 5 I am shown that I have 1671 MB of ram available and I have allocated 1420 which is 85% of that
I have 2 hard drives one partitioned as C and D and a spare for backups called E , I have tried using all or only E as scratch but I get the same message.

well I am sorry and I though CS5 stood for creative suite version 5, how stupid of me, since you are so quick to point out my error perhaps you could be equally quick supply the correct forum address?
Now that would have been helpfull

Content Aware not always working?

What are the specifications for how to make content aware work? Sometimes I delete something and it asks for content aware, but other times it just deletes it. Do you know what's up?
-TitanVex

Could you post a screenshot of the dialog?
Could it be you actually hit shift-delete instead of delete?

Photoshop CS6 bug: content aware is not longer working

Seems that the latest update of Photoshop CS6 broke content aware, which now produces a black result.

Thanks for the tip, but it does not applies to the issue I run into, as I'm using the "delete" command and not the tool (which seems to be working fine).
Sorry for being vague.
Also, this happens only when working in 32bit: in other bit depths the delete with content aware works fine as well.
Steps to replicate the bug:
open a 32bit document
select an area
delete use content aware
instead of filling the selected area with content aware it does fill it with black.

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 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 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,
96gb RAM, GPU: ASUS GTX-460,

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

Error Stating "Not enough source pixels" when using content aware fill

I am trying to use content aware fill on a JPG photo. Am getting an error saying that I do not have enough source pixels. What am I doing wrong?

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.
Thanks for your interest and help.

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:

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.

Ziggysphoto wrote:
I use CAF a lot and it works ok. Is your machine good enough. I have PC with windows 7
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.
