CS5 Content-Aware

I have been using Photoshop since 1993 and I am more pleased with this upgrade than many of the previous upgrades. CS5 gives us a few incredibly powerful tools. One is Content Aware.

It works very well by removing things you don't want in the image and replacing them with the proper pixels.

Photoshop is wonderfully redundant, it gives you a number of tools to accomplish the same result, some are faster than others, some work in different situations better and some you use out of habit. Content Aware is a great situational tool, as long as you can select around a blemish you want removed, leaving some pixels of the surrounding area that will accurately create a replacement image for the removed blemish, this tool works wonders.

Creases on a model's face, street signs, trees will all disappear when you go to Edit-Fill-Content-Aware to create the corrected image. Touch up is a fact of life, so when and if this tool doesn't completely remove the item you want to disappear, use the healing brush or the clone tool and your project will look just the way you want it.
