This new Content Aware Fill concept that I had heard about weeks ago is so rad. I had, up until this point, thought that it was an April Fools joke, being that the demo video for this came out late the night before April Fools, on some obscure video channel on YouTube. Check out the video here. People even went so far as to make parody videos, in a sense say ‘no, this is not real, look at how stupid you are.’
It’s worth mentioning that all of these were done using content-aware fill, and not the ‘content-aware spot healing brush’ – basically instead of lasso-ing around something you want to remove and letting it remove it for you, you can actually use a brush to paint a black blob onto what you want to remove and it does a pretty awesome job willing in spots. This spot healing concept is not anything new, I guess it just now uses the ’content aware’ algorithm I guess. Either way the spot healing brush would probably work a lot better in some of the below examples.
Witness the awesomeness after this jump, making sure to click on any images for a zoom!
A quick outline of kitty and rider, and poof.
Kitty eet grape. Just select the grape branch and only the grape branch. The face of the kitty got chewed up a bit but the wall would just need some touching up.
This was another simple ‘just circle it’ – a quick outline of the laughing cat, a hotkey, press enter, and this was the result. Again, not perfect but quite amazing for taking less then a second – note the repeating branch on the ground and how well the computer traced the crack in the ground…
For this one, select the eyes and mouth of this handsome creature, to see what the heck it would do. This is some helpful feedback, as you can see through the mouth. This will be particularly useful for people who have clients who ask them to photoshop off hats or clothing off of people in their pictures!
… what do you get when you cross Adobe, Apple, and cats? I love this so much, I think I’ll make it my desktop…
Something like two minutes of work: The small bubbles were brainlessly simple, however it got a bit confused regarding the cracks in the wall. The most time was spent trying to work the cat out of the middle, as you can see it did a pretty awesome job with the horizontal panel, however it added a vertical line there most likely from the right side.
Lastly, see if you can guess what the original to this picture was:
