Photoshop CS5 Sneak Peek – Content Aware Fill


Bryan O’Neil Hughes demos CS5’s new Content Aware Fill feature.
One of the game-changing new features in CS5 is Content Aware Fill. It works like the Patch tool, only it’s easier to use. You simply select an area, click Delete, and choose Content Aware Fill. It’s fantastic for removing unwanted elements in images, even in challenging image areas like smooth gradients in skies. This feature will save you hours and hours. It might even change the way you think about making photographs.
Tune in tomorrow April 12 at 8am PDT for Adobe’s CS5 online announcement. Register now.
