Photoshop Content Aware

[John_C]

I was just thinking about the programming behind this, it must be insane. I wonder how they started out working on it? basic interpolation gone crazy?

First image is the original, second is the "content aware", then original again, and then the one i did manually.
There you guys can see how "destructive" that tool is.. now this was relatively easy to remove, but something like a tree takes sooooo much time, and there i could use this program to do the "rough work"(Which normally takes hours.), and then touch that up(Which means i still need the skills to do it manually.).

yeah, my prof said, that one of the "promoters" said, if it creates any artifacts, just use
it again on that part, so that it fills this part (hopefully without artifacts) again.

Here's everything in life now: [pushes button] It's done!!!!

Jay, yours is good, but the cloud has something funky going on that the content aware one didn't

 

[P-E]

Jay, yours is good, but the cloud has something funky going on that the content aware one didn't

I think it's the other way around.

 

[MarcusGHedwig]

Oh yeah, you're right - hard to tell which is the 1st image when I have to scroll down to it (but I can tell now from the horizontal seam on the left side of the statue base in the content aware version); so in that case, nicely done Jay

I could be looking at it wrong but it looks like morgans also has the same weird cloud problem in it

 

[MarcusGHedwig]

That's cuz Jay (Notuern's) .gif includes Morgan's for the content aware example

 

[Dalinkwent48@aim.com]

Fail

Lmao ^. Well, this is a pretty nice breakthrough, good old adobe.

 

[Notuern]

Ah, should have labeled them.
There are a few artifacts in my version too, but i was a bit sloppy. ;P

Anyways, i can see great use in this tool, but its not good enough to replace the manual labor.
And i know that if you use it several times, it looks better.. but it keeps creating new artifacts no matter how you do it.

Id like to call it a tool, not a "quick fix".

Me: The lens flare and tree removal examples seem perfectly reasonable, essentially just filling in areas of solid colors and gradients that match the surrounding areas, neato. But I think I gotta call bullshit on the desert and storm cloud examples, in which the 'tool' appears to be magically CREATING NEW CONTENT.

Gordon: its all math, baby!

Me: Math can predict the next number in a series. If the mountain range is going up at the edge of the picture area, any extension of said image should continue going up. Math doesn't say "Okay, in this 1000 feet of mountain range, the specified blank area will contain a lesser peak of decreased elevation that is not in shadow unlike the adjacent peak." Bullllllshiiiiiit.

Gordon: but math can look at the peaks around it and say, "these end in triangles surrounded by blue (sky), so this one should too."

Me: That's exactly what it should be capable of, yes. Not inventing new topography from scratch. Look at the mountain range example again. Where the original image cuts off on the left the range is angled up slightly and on the right it's angled up a little more sharply. In the "fill" image, Photoshop has supposedly somehow decided that the range on the left keeps going up, then dips down a bit, then keeps going up, and that the range on the right was a peak and now goes down at a sharp angle. That isn't filling in the missing next few numbers in a mathematical sequence, that's flat out artistic content creation. I think the only "fill" we're seeing there is "the viewers' heads with nonsense".

Looks 'shopped.

I just tried out this tool and it took me about 5 minutes to create a realistic extension of a studio backdrop that probably would have taken me 30+ minutes to create using clone stamp/healing brush. There are some visible artifacts but even then it only takes a few clicks to clone those out. This is a GREAT tool and an invaluable addition to my editing workflow. I can't wait until the final release comes out. I have been holding off editing my last 2 studio sessions in hopes that I would get to try this feature, and I'm glad that I did.

Pretty fucking amazing. I wowed out loud.

still needs a little work:

I literally laughed out loud on that one

omg that laughter hit me so hard
