A new feature in Photoshop’s 2010 comes out as updated Content-Aware Fill, that is a content-sensitive filler tool already available in the previous version of Adobe. Such a feature is very useful for filling or covering parts of a photo with a similar detail although it did not always show the expected result.
It now corrects past mistakes, and Photoshop has proudly announced that Content-Aware Fill will appear in a newer form.
The new content aware fill comes with a more intelligent algorithm that offers new configurations after a teaser introduced by Photoshop.
The IA-based algorithm allows much more freedom in the rotation and scaling of the elements used, meaning that it must reflect the content found to make it fit better. It will also allow for better control over objects.
With Content-Aware, you can remove an object from an image or make it disappear without leaving a trace. In the previous version of Content-aware, the removal was not so perfect and led to some failed results.
In the past, if we wanted to remove the background of an image, we had to select it with a selection tool and remove the rest.
Subsequently, Content-Aware would fill the space around the photo with content as close to the image as possible, but as mentioned earlier, we didn’t always get the best results.
That’s why the developers decided to add these new enhancements, which allow you to choose which parts of the photo will be used to fill the image which we’d like to edit.
In addition, it allows us to rotate and scale the selection for filling, plus an option to display the content of the photo to use in Intelligent Filling, and a preview option in real time.
At the moment, we don’t know exactly when this new functionality will arrive in Photoshop CC, so the fact that the company is officially announcing that it won’t be long before this new version of Content-Aware Fill is available and we can test it.
