When Adobe Photoshop Senior Product Manager Bryan O’Neil Hughes demonstrated the new content-aware features of CS6 to me, my mouth opened like an imbecile out of complete disbelief. You can basically move objects around your image, freely and effortlessly. It’s black magic.
Here’s a video of what I saw. First you see the new clone-stamp like content-aware fill, which basically allows you to define a part of the image as a source to easily erase something from an image. This is impressive enough and a timesaver, but what is even more zomg-what-the-hell-did-just-happen impressive is using the same technology to move any object around the image.
Jump to minute 1:00 and see how it works. While this could have taken hours of hard work in the current version of Photoshop, the new version just makes it a matter of seconds. Literally.
Just like their content aware feature right now, this will ultimately depend on the type and quality of the picture (sometimes it completely fails), and on the user’s competency but it looks pretty great nonetheless.
Also, extend feature?
Longcat will be long.
Totally agree – but it will be extremely useful and time saving in the right hands!!
Also.. there’s one more mature industry that probably would have a great use for the “Extend” feature
Pretty much nailed what I was thinking, be interesting to see it in a real world test and not something Adobe are showing off with what might be carefully chosen photos.
yeah, the examples were very high contrast, and red coat on green background
still pretty impressive though.
That’s incredible.
This looks great, but also bad for anything that uses a photo finish haha!
