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

  • 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 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Removing unwanted objects

    I'm trying to remove unwanted objects in a photo using PSE 12 but it isn't working. It keeps reverting to original state. Any ideas? I'm on a Macbook.

    Yes.
    It would be best if you post a representative picture, indicating what you are trying to delete, and, how you are going about it.

  • 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.

  • 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?

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • How to place grouped items into another object with content collector tool?

    Is it possible to paste a group into another object (i.e. frame) by using the Content Collector Tool while linking the content?  Paste Into is either deselected or possibly whatever was last saved to the clipboard ends up inserting. I was able to place grouped, linked content into a frame (and later applied a scrollable frame overlay to it) once or twice but can't seem to repeat. Tried selecting the object being pasted into.. holding shift, holding ctrl, all kinds of options, just very confused now.

    Found a potential work-around (I think....).
    1. Use the Content Collector tool and select grouped objects
    2. Select Content Placer tool, check "Create Link"
    3. Place grouped object into doc/onto page with Content Placer tool
    4. Copy placed grouped objects
    5. Paste into frame that will be scrollable later
    For now it seems like the link still works
