Wow ... is this neat.

For Christmas, my kids got me Adobe Photoshop CS5 Extended ... a photoprocessing software package. While there are tons of really neat features, the one that first caught my eye was one called "Content Aware Fill." Sounds wierd, but basically you get a picture that has a flaw in it. Maybe it's a landscape where some silly telephone pole got in the way of the mountain in the background ... or, you create a panarama of several photos and it leaves some blank border areas where the pictures didn't quite align.

With CS5, you highlight the blank area or the obstructing object; expand the area by a few pixels (say 10), and then, select the Content Aware Fill option from a drop down menu. Voila' ... CS5 creates an appropriate "fill" for the area selected and you end up with a picture that is complete. A scene with no telephone pole or a landscape where the blank border is now sky or scene.

I won't mislead you. There are things it just can't do. For example part of a person is near the edge you want to "fill." It has no way of creating the missing part to a person ... or how to take the pixels of a person near the edge and create background that would blend with everything else.

Anyway, look at the sample. I think it's amazing.

Here's a sample I call, "A Person Got in the Way". CS5 fixes it. :)

Didn't we have a thread recently about the camera never lying?

[Lord Snow]

It was more an argument over the ease at which photo manipulation has become vs. the authenticity of the older photos because 35mm film requires a dark room.

That is cool as hell. I could edit out half my ass :p

[Oldfart]

Why?

[jseal]

It's fine just the way it is.

[PantyFanatic]

You can give me that half. :hump:





Really, really neat DB. :thumb:

If you were to do so, you'd have to edit out all of our hearts here at Pixies. We love your ass just the way it is.

[Lilith]

It is considerably smaller than the last you saw it :) My rump shaking is working some.

[PantyFanatic]

Shake it on this. :boink:















:doorpeek:

[Oldfart]

Video profit opportunity going begging here folks. LOL

So long as it's still yours, it's still the subject of my lust.

[Oldfart]

Sounds like a crazy half-assed idea to me.

[Lord Snow]

Nah, I want the whole ass Oldfart. Not just half.

[Aqua]

Why?
If this was Facebook I would "Like" this post. :nod:

I mean, I still like it, but... you know what I mean. :p

It was the first thing I thought after reading what Lil posted. :D

[Aqua]

Well, you see, LS, that's not really possible. Lil's ass is kind of a time share. So it's already half and half. :o (I claimed the right half. :p )

[Aqua]

Oh, and an on-topic post:

That makes life a lot easier, db. I've spent hours removing unwanted objects from digitized pics.

CS5 is definitely a nice program with A LOT of features. I still use Photoshop 5.5. :p (In other words, a REALLY old version.)

I don't think that M will let me book 2 weeks in July.LOL

I use Photoshop Elements 2 and 7 in addition to CS5. It's funny how each release seems to have something a bit unique that you hate to lose. :shrug:
