Photoshop CS5's Showpiece — Content-Aware Fill

Posted by timothy on from the it's-like-stalin-was-never-there dept.

Barence writes "If you're looking for reasons to upgrade to Photoshop CS5 when it arrives, a new demo video might just persuade you. Narrated by Bryan O'Neil-Hughes, a product manager on the Photoshop team, the video shows the new content-aware fill tool, which has the potential to revolutionise the way you clean up photos. If you're not happy with an item in your picture, select it, delete it, and Photoshop will analyse the surrounding area and plug the gap as if it never existed."

    Next up is the "CSI Enhance" tool. Take a photo of 10x10 pixels, and make it a perfect 2MP image.

      No, no, that's "take a 1mp super grainy noisy photo from a 7-11 security camera and put on magic filters and super zoom to see a strand of hair from 100 feet away that shows that the attacker owns a golden retriever and thus you should check the registered animal database for a golden retriever that is in a 100 yard radius from the attack location".

    I once did a writing contract at Adobe. You know how when you pose for an ID photo, they put you in front of a curtain or something to hide the background? When I got my Adobe badge the security guy just posed me against a regular wall, then Photoshopped the wall out of the picture!

      And then when your contract was up, they pulled up the picture again and Photoshopped you out of the picture.
