Content Aware Fill – New photoshop feature from Adobe Labs
Posted by Dean Bradshaw | Filed under Photoshop, Retouching
Phew, it’s been a while since my last post – we’ve been so busy working on retouching projects that time has flown by. I’ve been in California now for almost 4 months! It has been an absolute blast.
I was at Photoshop World in Las Vegas at the beginning of the month – where I met a whole bunch of the guys from NAPP and learnt a few new things. At the opening Keynote one of the presenters demonstrated some of the new features Adobe has been working on.
Here are two new technologies they’ve been developing. Unfortunately we aren’t to know when they might be showing up in a release version of Photoshop. The first is content aware patching. I use the patch tool regularly every day, so this looks pretty exciting – though whether or not it will be useful in real-world commercial retouching remains to be seen….Check out the very cool video demo here…
The second is similar, probably based on the same algorithms – content aware healing. This looks like it will be tremendously useful for day to day retouching where extraneous elements need to be removed from source images. Check it out here…
