Help With Content Awareness

CS 4 was getting long in the tooth so I decided to upgrade. One of the features that helped push me was Content Aware Fill.
I saw videos on the web that made it look magical. 
The first thing I did after getting CC configured was to grab a random picture from yesterday's outing and give it a try.  My results were less than magical, so maybe I'm doing something wrong.  Would someone who's experienced with this feature give me some pointers?

I assume from the absence of replies that no one here can help me understand why Content Aware Fill is not working well for me?
Not necessarily.
Personally I have little use for that feature, but others may have use it more extensively.
I consider it somewhat of a »bells and whistles« feature – looks good in presentations, but …
Also you should, in my opinion, have posted the images
• on this Forum directly and
• included the original files (preferably with a path ot alpha channel for the Selection you used).
While the first example does seem disappointing, the second example does not seem that surprising.
Have you tried using a Layer without the palm-trees?

  • How to only have 1 image with content aware scaling

    My knowledge (lack of, really) with content aware scaling is that 1st you create a new layer of the background and then rescale accordingly. I did the following: -1- Created a 2nd layer -2 used quick selection tool on my main subject ( a person) and named it. -3- deselected the selection -4- Edit menu --> Content aware scale -5- resized it to something smaller (chose my previous named selection channel). -6- Pressed "Enter"
    The result is that I can now see 2 images; the smaller sitting on the larger. What now? All I want is the smaller image. If I throw away the original layer what I end up is the new layer with  the white and gray default background showing as part of the image (which ends up being printed as well or if saved looking as is with the grey-white. Is what I should do the obvious--cut out via cropping the un-needed (gray-white) part? Or am I missing a step somewhere?
    Thank you

    My changing of image size had always been either by using the crop tool (which of course also removes parts of the image), or going to the top menu and choosing 'Iimage Resize' ( Alt + Ctrl + I). So using any method other than the one described alway had 'Content Aware Resize' greyed out and therefore unuseable hence me thinking a 2nd layer needed to be done. I had not been aware to use the marquee tool--so thanks. Either way though, when scaling down, it seems that cropping needs to bee done just the same. I was hoping there was a method where this was not required and could be done directly. Your method was defnitely helpful and saved me a step nevertheless so thanks. BTW, if I may, why does everywhere I go and have seen always show to create an extra layer? Your method seems to be better and actually shows creatin an extra layer to be totally useless so that is why I am asking since it seems to be totally not needed.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • The edit/fill with content-aware

    The edit/fill with content-aware works when I edit the photo file using “edit in Photoshop cc”, instead of using “open as smart object in Photoshop:.
    It brings up to my next question: what is the difference between “open as smart object” and “edit in Photoshop cc”? Thanks.

    Edit in photoshop, brings the image into photoshop as single image. Whereas bringing it into photoshop as a smart objects, places that single image into a wrapper. This wrapper is an object that keeps the underlying image safe. No matter what you do other than removing the smart object, keeps the image safe.
    What I mean by that, is if you scale, rotate and a filter, etc. it is applied to the object it self, not the image. Which allows you to change your mind and revert back to the original image at any time in the future, as long as you save in a format that supports smart objects, layers, and transparency. Which limits it down to psd, tiff, and pdf.

  • Replace With Content Aware

    Before, when I clicked the delete button, it gave me the option to fill in the spot with content aware, but now it just deletes the area? How do I fix that

    That will only work on a background layer. Shift-Backspace or Shift-F5 brings up the fill dialog. Or you could go Edit>Fill.

  • 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:

  • 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.

  • Having trouble with content-aware

    I am trying to use content-aware, but am having trouble finding out how to do it, even though I have watched the videos.
    When I outline the object that I want to remove and go to Edit>Content-aware, I can't find out how to finish the procedure.
    Also, I don't have the same little boxes on the tool bar on the top for that application.
    Can anyone help?
    Thanks.

    Hmmmm, tried that.  Clicked the marquee tool, outlined the shape that I wanted to remove, Clicked Edit>fill>Content-aware>ok and it worked a little magic, but then took half the image of the person alongside the portion that I wanted to fill and duplicated it.
    I tried using the eraser tool, highlighted the image, fill, but it has a greyed-out content-aware.  Can't do it that way.
    Drum roll please.................
    If you use the magic wand and fill the part you want to get rid of, click Edit>fill>content-aware.ok, it works.
    Thank you very much Michael.

  • 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

  • How to create a 'Previous History' brush tool along with content aware

    Truly did not know how to create a good title here.
    When you use the 'Content Aware' tool and move subject 'A' to point B what happens is that A now sits on top of B which in turn means part of the image within B may be missing and you may still want it there where it was and where it should be. You could use the 'history brush' tool to brush away part of the new insert and erase what is there to reveveal what was there. How do you do the same thing to image A which now sits on B (to reveal what was there on A originally). What I mean is this. I moved a person from point A to point B. but parts of this person are missing (his ear, his knee, his shoe) so how do I get those parts back (in the new location)?
    The history brush tool appears to be erasing by subtracting, what I would like to do in this case of course is not subtract but add or 're-add'.
    Thank you

    Hello,
    here's a possible solution, before using content aware, take a snapshot of A and B, then use it as your history brush source whenever you need to 're-add':
    please post back if you have any questions

  • Help with content editing

    Hi:
    I am just starting to learn the program and have a simple
    question. If I have a manual that needs to have some formatting
    done to it, is it easier to do it in word or to do it in RoboHelp?
    Thanks.

    Hello,
    I recommend using RoboHelp: 1. You get familar with the
    program 2. Creating separate topics in RoboHelp will help you
    better organize and update your data. 3. RoboHelp allows you to
    create a word document/manual (in Word) of your project and you
    don't have to mess with creating and updating the table of contents
    in Word.
