Content Aware Turned Off CS5

I changed my setting for when I select an area and "DELETE" so that now the box that used to come up with an option for content aware, white, delete, etc no longer comes up.  Now when I hit "DELETE" it simply wipes out the area that was selected.  I am now unable to select content aware since the dialog box does not appear.  Is there anywhere I can reenable this option?  Thanks.

I think this is way it should work with selections.
1. If you hit the delete key with a background layer.
   (background with a little lock symbol to the right).
   Then the fill dialog will come up.
2. If you change the background to a layer, such as layer 1,
    then the delete key will delete the pixels in your selection.
3. If you have more than one layer, delete key on the locked background layer (selection active)
    brings up the fill dialog.
    If you choose another layer, the delete key would delete pixels in your selection.
4. If you want the fill dialog on other layers (selection active), press Shift+Backspace
    or Shift+F5.

  • Healing brush is not showing content-aware selection in CS5

    Help. The healing brush is no longer showing the content-aware selection in CS5. What is wrong here? Have I changed a setting that I am too inexperienced to know about?

    Well, duh! I thought I had done that. Thank you very much. I feel a bit embarrassed to be so inept.

  • 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.

  • 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????
    Regards,
    Leigh

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

  • Some Filters turned off,   CS5

    The brush, distort and other filters are grey, inactive, I have reloaded CS5.  Poked around and can not find any button to turn them on.
    Thanks.

    Thanks for the info.  I'm just trying to determine if people are choosing the higher bit depths to achieve higher image quality and still expecting the older 8 bit-only filters to work.
    You can change the default bit depth the Camera Raw plug-in delivers via the little link at the bottom-center of the dialog.  Change it once, complete a conversion, and the setting will stick.  That might shorten the process for you for future images, assuming you want to work in 8 bits/channel.

  • Content Aware Fill for CS5

    Just saw this for CS5:
    http://tv.adobe.com/watch/photoshop-20th-anniversary/contentaware-fill-sneak-peek/
    Me like alot.

    Katrin Eismann summarized its potential for me in this video: "...there are (PS) features that demo well and there are features that actually let you get work done and I really feel that this is one of them".

    We'll see when CS5 hits the streets.

  • I have CS5 design premium student and teacher edition, have never been able to receive any updates. And cannot find cetain features like Content Aware, Adobe Watermarks etc...Is there any way I can add these and other features

    I have never been able to receive any updates. And cannot find cetain features like Content Aware, Adobe Watermarks etc...Is there any way I can add these and other features unavailable to me? Or do I have to upgrade the version I have? If so, how much would that be?

    The only "content aware" feature in CS5 is the fill, so you are not missing anything with the updates because nothing more is there. And I honestly don't know what you mean by "Adobe watermarks" there is no such thing, but there is a series of scripts for such stuff.

  • CS5 trial issues with ram and content aware issues.

    I run a vista 32 machine with 4 gigs.  I have tried just about everything including running the machine in minmum and loading only windows and adobe CS5.  I still get the error of "Could not fill because there is not enough memory (RAM)".  I have tried playing with the performce settings and GL settings to give adobe as much memory as it needed but it is still not working.
    I am working with a file that is 6.49mb which is the average of what my raw file convert to when I download them from my camera.  Now the only way I can get it to work is seriously downgrade the file in size and then the content aware fill works great or decrease the area that is going to be filled.
    So am I missing something or do I have to convert everything over to 64 bit and throw 8 gigs in this machine to get this to work with those tyoe of file sizes?
    Thanks

    Hi again everyone. I tried the original solution of turning off OpenGl support in preferances and that worked for me. Granted there are still some problems.
    To recap:
        I have an Intel Core i7 processor with 4GB RAM and Windows 7 Ultimate 32bit (didn't want to go down the 64bit route for compatability issues with other programs). Because Adobe do not support the Canon EOS 5D Mk II in CS3's camera RAW I upgraded to CS4 (that's were things began to become unstable). CS4 was flakey at best. Nice new feel (when it worked). Now I am no dummy when it comes to computers (I run my own IT company as well as photographic business - they kinda compliment each other). After loading CS5 (mainly for content aware feature and hoping it was a bit better than CS4 turned out to be - like most of you on this forum) the neat feature that Adobe had been raving about didn't work as advertised.
    Back to where I am up to now. I will not turn this into a Mac vs PC debate since we have aldready had earlier, someone with a "brand new MacBook Pro" complaining of the same issue. I can state that, of all the systems I work on with Windows 7 (which is alot), the only one I am having major issues with is my own. And the only piece of software giving me grief (if you saw my two screens you would have trouble counting the apps on my system), is Photoshop CS5! After turning off OpenGL I can now stitch 12 or more RAW 5D MarkII photos with no problem, generating a file 938MB in size. The first time I did this I still had to original files open and it would not let me do any content aware modifications. Fair enough. I closed all the source files, flattened the layers to produce a single flat layer to work with and then tried content aware. "Not enough memory". I had to bring the file down in size to under 50MB to get it to work on any decent sized area. Now I don't want to have to go out and buy "Blow up" to renlarge my photos because Adobe can not get their memory management working! Lets be clear about this. This is not a Windows problem. Photoshop assigns its own memory, its own scratch disk and interfaces with the Graphics card. So if I assign 1.5GB of memory to Photoshop, 400GB as a scatch disk and have 1GB of video memory why does it still have issues with a 50MB file!!!! Piss poor programming!
    Here are my issues. I was sold on CS5 due to a brilliant (if not misleading video) that showed "content aware" at work on Adobe's web site. There was no mention that I would need a super computer or 64bit operating system to work its magic. On purchasing the product as so many of you have discovered it does not work as promissed. In two days of posting to this site I have not seen one representative of Adobe making any comment as to even if they are working on this issue.
    Please ADOBE, you big multinational software company, PLEASE make us feel better for having purchased CS5 and not let it be the big white lemon it seems to be.

  • Photoshop CS5 content-aware scale

    Hi, I'm a photoshop CS5.1 64 bits user, I'm following the "Learn adobe photoshop CS5 by video" with the instructor  Kelly McCathran. Well, I need to know how to create two layers with different sizes to apply content-aware scale...I can't! I import a picture (4000x3000) from adobe bridge...When I create a layer with a different dimension (3000x2000) the picture (4000x3000) turns to (3000x2000)!!! What am I supposed to do?

    With the smaller image appearing with the larger one in Photoshop, click on the smaller image in its Layers panel and drag it over the larger image.
    Once the smaller image is sitting on top of the larger one in the Layers panel, you can change the size of the smaller image by using Edit > Transform > Scale.
    Hold down the Shift key as you alter the scale, the image maintains proportion.

  • How to turn off frame edge highlighting in CS5?

    Has anyone discovered how to turn off the frame edge highlighting on rollovers. I find this feature visually distracting and quite annoying as I'm moving around a page. Send advice, please. Thx.

    Chief:
      Sorry we got off track and didn't post the main workaround for Frame Edge Highlighting: Keep your hand on the spacebar.
    This comes from  Mike Rankin in the InDesign Magazine Tip of the Week in January:
    TIP: Spring-Loaded Tools to the Rescue
    InDesign  tries very hard to help you align objects when you drag by snapping  them Do you dislike the Frame Edge Highlighting that appears when you  mouse over frames in CS5? Spring-loaded tools can help. Frame edge  highlighting only appears when you use one of the selection tools. With  spring-loaded tools, you can press and hold single keys to temporarily  switch to any other tool. As long as you hold the key for more than a  second, you'll switch back to your previous tool when you release the  key. You have plenty of choices (t, \, p, f, m, n, c, e, g, z, etc).
    Holding  the spacebar also prevents the highlighting from appearing, and it's a  nice big place for your fingers to rest. Heck, you don't even have to  pay much attention to where you press--just rest your hand in the middle  of the keyboard and lift it up when you want to select something. But  don't hold v or a, which are the shortcuts for the selection tools.
    - Mike Rankin
    (Mike had suggests this several times in the past year,  though not with the spacebar. E.g. he recommended 'H' back in June over  on
    InDesignSecrets. "H" for Hate).
    There have been several threads on this, including the locked 201-post monster, Frame edge highlighting, and the feature request Allow Frame Edge Highlighting to be turned off, and frame edge highlights on hover.
    Basically  the takeaway is that it only happens with the selection (V) and direct  selection (A) tools, and that multiple people have asked Adobe for a  control to turn it off, and they've finally added one, but only in CS5.5, not in a CS5 maintenance release.

  • Turning off Keep Options in InDesign CS5

    I'm having a real nightmare with Keep Option in ID CS5.
    I was hoping I could use them to stop orphans but they seem to create them unnecessarily.
    I turned on some Keep Options in my style sheet for my body text and I couldn't get them to work the way I wanted.
    Now I just want to turn all the Keep Options off and have the text flow normally - when it reaches the end of the text frame to go to the next regardless of where it is in the paragraph.
    So I have all the Keep Options turned off in the Paragraph Style Sheet and the lines are still breaking too early.
    Is this a bug?

    Hello Jongware, I take your point that the Keep Options in the Paragraph Styles is pretty self explanatory and I have to admit to causing some of the confusion myself.
    But to prevent widows and orphans selecting "Keep Lines Together", then filling in 2 in the "At Start/End of paragraph" Start and End lines, unfortunately breaks 3 or 4 line paragraphs at the beginning of pages.
    (I read somewhere that widows are at the top of pages/columns; orphans at the bottom).
    Also I find the Keep Options dialogue box from the Paragraph palette rather confusing:
    The "Keep with Previous" with a check box followed by an indented "Keep with Next" just throws me!
    But thanks to you and everyone else, I pretty much get it now.

  • Can I Turn Off Location Awareness in Safari?

    I go to a website that regularly asks me if I will allow it to use my location for purposes of my visit.  I find this request annoying and not useful to me.  When I asked the site folks how to prevent it, they directed me to a place where I could turn off location awareness . . . in Windows.
    Is there a similar ability in Mac Safari 5.1.2?  I can't find one.
