Adobe Demonstrates Content-Aware Fill in Future Version of Photoshop
Adobe Photoshop project manager John Nack yesterday pointed to a new demo video posted by a member of his team showing off an impressive new feature in Photoshop known as "content-aware fill". The feature utilizes complex mathematical algorithms to analyze digital images and assist users in filling in areas of complex scenes where undesired content has been removed.
The video shows a number of applications for the feature, from simple tweaks such as removing extraneous trash from an image of a park scene to far more complex tasks such as generating realistic looking desert landscapes and cloud formations.
While Adobe has been careful to specify only that the technology is set for inclusion in "a future version" of Photoshop, we have been told to expect it to make an appearance in the next version scheduled for introduction as part of Creative Suite 5 on April 12th.

This stuff is wild.
And have you all seen the videos where you can stretch the photo size without stretching the subjects in it? Photoshop will just move the items around.
EDIT: Here's that video.
Low. That's not what Lightroom is for.

Absolutely fantastic!
Also, CS5 should be fully 64 bit. It's looking like a great update.

Super-terrific. Now if I could only justify forking over megabucks to replace my student-discounted version of CS3.

That just blew my mind. The panorama infill would have taken hours if not days to do properly by an incredibly skilled touch-up artists. I'm literally speechless. Like we're living in the future or something.
