Photoshop’s New Content-Aware Fill

Adobe’s Photoshop developers impressed us a lot with the first iteration of the content aware capabilities. It was revolutionary. This video is a sneak peak of what’s to come, and it’s awesome. 

 

What’s new

  1. You can tell Photoshop what part of the image you would like to use for the fill, and what part you don’t. Currently, you can only hope the AI knows what parts you don’t want to use, and it’s a hi-and-miss scenario, especially if your selection is edging on a part you don’t want to use. It’s giving you options. You decide what the AI uses to fill the selection with, and therefore it’ll give you better results and make your workflow faster and you’ll be more productive.
  2. You can output the process and its result to a new layer with a truly non-destructive workflow. Now they have updated it’s usability by giving it it’s own space, similar to the refine and select and blur spaces in Photoshop.
  3. You can rotate, scale or reflect the selection you made and Sensei’s result will make it fit into the space you’re filling in a more realistic, correct way.

Conclusion

I’m excited about this new change. They’ve built the artificial intelligence and now they seem to focus on how to best offer it to the users with a better interface and space to use it in. The release date hasn’t been given yet, although the video makes it clear that it’ll be soon. With Adobe, that’s usually within a couple of months.
