Bringing imaging magic to Adobe® Photoshop® CS6 software, the acclaimed Content-Aware family of tools lets you retouch or recompose images with astonishing ease, control, and speed. One of the newest of these intelligent editing tools, Content-Aware Patch, was just introduced in Photoshop CS6.
Content-Aware Patch is designed for times when you want to remove unwanted content from a photo and then replace it with a precise and seamless patch. The tool automatically creates the patch for you, but only after you’ve shown it exactly which area of your image you’d like it to sample from.
And it uses Content-Aware technology to blend the patch into the surrounding area.
The Content-Aware Fill option introduced in Photoshop CS5 is a great choice when you want to remove unwanted content from an image. Once you’ve deleted your selected content, it can analyze the surrounding pixels and then fill the space with content that matches those pixels. In some cases, though, Content-Aware Fill doesn’t return the desired results. For example, it can fill the space with poorly matched content if the area surrounding the deleted content lacks consistency or a discernible pattern.
Content-Aware Patch gives you superior results by letting you determine the area it will sample from to create your patch. For example, if you want to remove an object from a tight row of similar objects, you can tell Content-Aware Patch to sample from a nearby background area to create a precise and natural-looking patch.
Content-Aware Patch gives you a fast and easy way to perfect your images. Simply delete the content you don’t want, direct the tool to the patch material you think will work best, and then watch as it uses Content-Aware technology to magically create a stunning result.
