More on this content aware with Warp Stab. (going further, actually)

so i saw the little video that steve forde did on "what they never intended for warp stabilizer to do" and it got me thinking about another issue, and i was wondering if there is already anyway to fix these issues, or if it would even be conceivable to do via update/feature request....
so say your shooting a video, and the location or event or what have you was just not condusive for a tri/mono pod, so you have to hold the camera, and say you had a good zoom-in on a subject and then either a)you lost balance, or b)had a hand cramp or spasm and caused the camera to jerk to the side for a moment or something, and you can't just "go back and re-shoot it" is there anyway to bring the footage in AE, cut out the frames that are effected leaving blank frames, and using a "pseudo content aware" to fill the frames with information that could have possibly belonged comparing frames before and after your cut?
is there already a plug-in for this? if not, would this plug-in even be feasable to write? i realize it would probably be pretty cpu intensize, and probably not be able to pull it off exactly as how it would look had the shot never been affected... but just something that sounded interesting to dream....

Anything is possible and CAF for video is much requested, but temporal logic is tricky. There have been various tech demos over the years that deal with synthesizing missing frames based on various methods, but so far none have made it into a commercial product, at least not one that mundane people have access to. Whether or not Adobe will include such a technology at some point is an open question, anyway. As we all know, you won't know it until it's there and whether that be CS6, CS7 or later nobody can tell you...

Using content aware with a new layer

I am trying to use content aware with a new layer which i have made a smart object but when I select fill it is greyed out. why?.

CAF doesn't have a Sample all layers option, and needs source pixels to work on. The best you can do is select those parts of the background layer that you are happy to be sampled from, and copy them to a new layer and use CAF on that layer. This prevents gaps in the landscape being filled with a foregrounsd subject's head!
You can then add a layer mask to that layer to the new layer to use only those parts you need.

Content Aware with Magic Wand¿

I used to fill in gaps of missing Panos with content aware in CS5 using the magic wand and fill - content aware. In CS6 it fills it in with the foreground color. The only way I can get the content aware to work is if I make the selection with the lasso tool. The quick Sslection tool will not even select the area without pixels. Anyone else had this issue¿

Thank you for the reply. Yes I selected the content aware option in the drop down; I have been using the content aware to fill in gaps in panos for a long time now. The issue is in the CS6 Beta when I use the magic wand to select the empty pixels, and there are a lot in places, it will only fill it with a solid color. Also the quick select tool will not even select empty pixels. The pano I have isn't that large, 35090 px by 3490 px, not near the type of panos Ben Willmore does for example. I just wondered if anyone else has this issue and if so is there a fix.

An error occurred while loading this content - only with iPhone not iPad

I know this issue has been discussed to death with no real solution in sight but my case is slightly different:
1. On my new iPad, I select AppleTV (not mirroring), open Safari, then to YouTube and play any HD video. Immediately, the video will be streamed to the AppleTV with no hassle.
2. I do the same on my iPhone 4, 4S or 5 and all I get is "An error occurred while loading this content. Try again later". This occurs without fail.
If I use Jasmine YouTube client, streaming will work perfectly but alas, this app is prone to the error message "Youtube has restricted feeds for this video" and thus, I can't use this.
If I use the new google youTube app, only the audio gets streamed to the AppleTV. I have to use mirroring and the video does not fill the TV screen but leaving a dark border all round. The streaming is not smooth either. The previous youTube app by Apple works perfectly - never had an issue. As soon as iOS6 came along, I end up with all these problems.
Is there a solution to all this? Currently, I use only my iPad for streaming YouTube videos but I really want to use my spanking new iPhone 5 but can't.
I am so sad.
Can anyone help or am I doomed to use only my iPad for this? I am soooo disappointed with the iPhone 5 due to this.

Has any other fixes been found. Since I updated to the latest iOS I've been having a similar problem. It doesn't matter what I stream through either. I bought I ATV2 when they first came out and have been using it perfectly fine, however after the last update I haven't been able to stream my movies, tv or even Netflix.
I've also been having issues with my ATV2 connecting to my windows 7 desktop where I store all of my movies and TV shows. I have to deauthorize home sharing and turn it back on for my ATV2 to recognize that it is even on. Frustrating to say the least.

I did what you said and it did exactly what I wanted it to do. Thanks!

ITunes erased my library(!!?!), I put everything back and iTunes is now saying my iPhone 4 is not synced to my library any more. This also happened with my iPod Touch and now iTunes will not update, resync and put all my music back.

I have never used another computer to sync my phone or ipod too. I do not want to lose everything. I am quite frankly at the end of my rope and thoroughly regret the fact that I am stuck with an iphone 4 for 2 years.
Someone, anyone...help??!

Sounds like you've taken the wrong course of action after a missing library error. Ideally you would have just restored a backup at the first sign of trouble.
Each iTunes library contains a unique ID that is also recorded in any device that syncs with it. After your rebuild the two IDs won't match so iTunes will try to treat the devices as "new".
Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash
Hopefully it's not been too long since you last upgraded iTunes, in fact if you get an empty/incomplete library immediately after upgrading then with the following steps you shouldn't lose a thing or need to do any further housekeeping. In the Previous iTunes Libraries folder should be a number of dated iTunes Library files. Take the most recent of these and copy it into the iTunes folder. Rename iTunes Library.itl as iTunes Library (Corrupt).itl and then rename the restored file as iTunes Library.itl. Start iTunes. Should all be good, bar any recent additions to or deletions from your library.
See iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to catch up with any changes since the backup file was created.
When you get it all working make a backup!
Alternatively, for each device...
You should be able to transfer your purchases into a newly authorised library, backup the device, recover any non-store purchased media with the tips in this post from forum regular Zevoneer, (skip this if you've already got all the media) then restore the device from the backup you just made. That should preserve all your data and switch the assocation of the device to the new library. I've had positive feedback on this method from other users but I've never had to test it personally.

Content Aware Problem

I have used content aware with some success but today I was using it to remove power lines in front of a building with a deep blue cloudless sky in the background. When I used content aware it lightened the sky to a pale blue, no where near the original color. I sampled the existing sky with the eye dropper but no change. Please advise why this is happening. I have used content aware probably 25 times and have never encountered this problem. Thank you

if you have any idea what could have happened I would love to know.
Did you miss my prior answer (post #2)?
Try making the brush bigger, or using a selection and making it larger than the power line by a few pixels.
It can work quite well; I've done it myself many times, but you can't work too tightly to the subject, because the pixels near the edge are affected by the subject sometimes more than you realize.

CS5: Content Aware Scale vs Image Size

Can someone explain the difference between the outcome of using the new content aware scale versus just going ahead and resizing the image? Or is this a matter of preference? Thanks!

Hi,
Content aware scale is not so much about resizing an image as much as it is about extending an image. It allows you to stretch the existing pixels along a single axis without distorting (or with less distorting) of the subject or subjects of the image.
In this first photo is the original and the area that needs to be filled with image data to the right.
In this 2nd image I just scaled the image up to fill. As you can see, I've lost a lot of the image as I'm basically cropping it as I scale it up along both the x axis and the y axis.
If I try to just scale the image along the x-axis the image will distort. The ship and the bathers get wider.
In this 4th image I've used content aware scale to "pull" the pixels over only along the x axis. Notice that the ship and the swimmers retain their original appearance.
Hope that helps

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.

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.

Content-aware fill with multi-colored background?

I've got a webpage footer to edit and I don't have the .psd file so I'm trying to use content-aware to take out an unwanted part. Problem is, the background isn't one solid color and the area where I'm making the edit has a diffinitive color change...it's an actual line dividing the footer into two sections. So, whenever I do the content aware fill it doesn't keep that line or the colors the way they "should" be.
Is this a situation where having the .psd file is a must?
Thanks for your help!
PS CS5 version 12.1 x32
Mac OS X 10.6.8

I used the lasso tool to select first one colour area. selected the Brush tool so I could Alt click on the background colour, and Alt backspace to fill the selection. Then I inverted the selection (ctrl Shift i). Used the lasso with the ALT key to remove the red area from the selection. Resampled the other background colour, and Alt backspace to fill.
I did wonder if there was more going on in background because the tiny graphic you uploaded has some artefacts and I was not sure if they were supposed to be there, but a simple graphic like that is an easy thing to create from scratch. When I have to include a logo in magazine artwork, and only have a horrible little sample that I couldn't bare to put on the page, I enlarge it to a useful size, and use it to trace a nice, new, clean graphic from scratch.

Problem with PSE 9 spot healing brush in content aware

When I try to use the spot healing brush to remove an object with content aware, it appears to work, then I get the Windows Error message, and PSE 9 shuts down. I have 2 GB RAM and plenty of scratch disc room. Any one else have this problem?

The problem is obviously a program error. The problem may be resolved by comparing the code to CS5 which we know works without a problem.
So what's the plan Adobe??!!!!!
Is there a solution?? I seem to remember a problem in version 7 or 6 which had to do with P4 Hyper threading and the same processors. One of the biggest reasons for upgrading to PE9 is content aware. Without it working how many sales are lost? With the state of our economy it is much more difficult to justify an additional expense for another computer or Phoroshop CS5!!
Let's fix this!!
A response would be appreciated.

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?
https://www.dropbox.com/sh/kap5ebbhku1d7et/93YQBIi-or

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?

What's wrong with this content type definition?

Could someone tell me what's wrong with this content type definition? When I click "New Folder" in a custom list, it should bring two fields 1) Name 2) Custom Order. However in my case when I click new folder, I see 1) Member (which is totally
weird) 2) custom order. Where is it getting that Member field from?

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you had an issue about the custom content type with custom column.
I don’t think there is any issue in the content type definition, and it also worked well in my environment.
Did you have the Member field in the project?
I recommend you create a simple project only with one custom Order column and one custom Folder_OrderColumn, then you can add more fields one by one.
By doing this, it will be easier to find out the root cause of this error.
Thanks,
Jason

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.

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:
