YouTube- Content-Aware Fill Sneak Peek

Watch the whole video!! it's well worth the 5 minutes...

Some of these features are mind blowing, I can only imagin how long some of that stuff would take even using CS4 or the later versions.

[niforpix]

I'm gonna start saving up right now for CS5... :eek: :bowdown:

[Domani]

holy crap.......

[aznrsx1979]

Now that's what I call impressive. Makes photo editing so much quicker.

[niforpix]

Makes it easy for anyone really... what's the point of taking photoshop courses anymore... Maybe I should drop my Level 3 in May lol

[TOS'd]

wow, that is so crazy

[Presto]

Mind exploded.

Was anyone else yelling at the video? I kept going, "What?! What?! WHAT!!!!"

[lilaznviper]

holy crap
i WANT NOW!!!!!

[SkinnyPupp]

That's pretty fucking amazing. You better plan on upgrading your CPU if you're not already running a quad-core though ;)

April 12, mark your calendars! ;)

April 12th is just the announcement date... probably won't be at the earliest till summer.


My PC will be capable to run it if I were to get it, maybe just might upgrade ram.

[Senna4ever]

Amazing as it is, that is kinda detrimental to the art of photography though, IMHO. Photographers are going to get even more lazy...the copyright for one's image won't just belong to him/her, but to Adobe software engineers too!

[SkinnyPupp]

Ah, that's stupid.

Looking forward to this though, that's for sure. I have SO many pictures that will look a LOT better once I can go through them in CS5

[LiquidTurbo]

I can imagine the people who do those porno edits being pretty happy about this.

[Senna4ever]

Sure it can 'improve' your photos, but will it still be *YOUR* photo if one uses the tool to the extent as it was used in the video? I mean, if you do all that manually (taking hours upon hours) in Photoshop, I can see the photographer retaining copyright, but this is so automated, that the photographer's hand in the final image is diminished. How can one morally and ethically say, "Yeah, that was all me."? In large commercial shoots where a professional creative retouching studio is used, they also get credit for the final image. Now....?

I can see this is potentially going to be a heated topic tomorrow amongst our professional clientele at Beau.

I see what you're saying but people said the same things about music when digitizers synthesizers became popular. Or when electronic devices and dual clutch systems came to racing.

It's just the next evolution of photography. CS5 won't replace anyone with true talent, that's for sure.

No, totally different, IMHO. A Roland RK-500 or E-80 can't write music for you. You can't program in half of Beethoven's 9th and ask it to extrapolate the rest of the music.

Digital photography should be banned - we should all be shooting transparencies & B&W negs. :p

[TOPEC]

woooow, makes removing power lines/electric poles a lot easier.

[SuperSlowSS]

some people will be without jobs.. damn technologies.. hahaha

[skyxx]

Now I can use Content Awareness tool to remove ugly people! AWESOME.

I'm gonna try and "Content Aware" Integra girl when i get CS5. Now lets see if it REALLY WORKS!

i think its amazing but i agree with what you're saying.
digital photography is too 'perfect'. i like the imperfections and challenges in film photography. makes for more interesting photos. everything looks too calculated and perfect nowadays with digital.

real time countdown till CS5 release

[niforpix]

Nice! 1 day before my birthday lol ;)

[K-Dub]

Mind exploded.

Was anyone else yelling at the video? I kept going, "What?! What?! WHAT!!!!"
I had to rewatch the pano at the end twice. I couldn't believe it created clouds, sky, and foreground!!!

[ddr]

as long as there's a way to tell what's fabricated and what's not, i don't think it's a big deal. However, major customers just care about the end result. whether that's disgracing or whatever is open to debate. it's almost like technology is catching up to a point where it threatens a type of skill or art form.

[SuperSlowSS]

ha, adobe you are late... :p

Look at the before and after closely.. it's nowhere near as perfect as photoshop.

[skyxx]

Who's gonna be the first one to Content Aware some 80's Porn bush! :lol

[SuperSlowSS]

Look at it closely? isn't it obvious. But hey, it is free and you can try it out today. Maybe you should take a closer look at the photoshop video. Even the guy in the video said it is a "good starting point".

[Ulic Qel-Droma]

first question, how much is this gonna cost?

second question, when will it show up on piratebay? LOL!

but honestly, as a guy that isnt into photography and barely uses photoshop, is it even worth shelling out that kinda money?

I'm starting to support products as i transition from broke ass student to broke ass worker, like shelling out money for windows 7 (the first windows ive ever bought), but, PS? fuck... im guessing they don't give free upgrades haha...

[Senna4ever]

Full version of Photoshop is around $900.

[penner2k]

You know while the feature is cool you have to remember that those pictures are carefully selected to work well with that feature.
Its gonna be like any of the other fancy features. Sometimes it works... Sometimes it doesnt.
The people that know how to take photos and work photoshop to get the results they want will always come out ahead. Its not like your average joe can just go out and take some pictures and mess around in photoshop a bit and turn out professional photos. In fact the average joe is better off not using photoshop at all.

[Ulic Qel-Droma]

9... 00... bucks... :S

[Senna4ever]

9... 00... bucks... :S
Probably not worth it for the consumer...that's why Photoshop Elements exists.

[Levitron]

LOL Content Aware Fill is just not good enough:

[LiquidTurbo]

Something tells me they disablet that. It did a good job with the hair. Oh well, Some kid will program the content aware fill to be better with boobs I'm sure.

[muteki]

Yeah I have CS5-beta, content aware isn't as 'witchery' as it seems haha.
It really depends on the image you're using, the ones they used just happens to work great with content aware.

[1exotic]

Is CS5 beta pretty much the actual program, or will CS5 have more features?
not sure If I should delete CS4 extended and get this instead.

[skyxx]

Wow, Content aware Tool is pretty awesome as you can see. It made 3 boobs out of 2!!!

[silva27]

a must get!

[jtanner_]

Definitely a crazy new feature... I'll probably finally be upgrading from cs2 hahah

[SkinnyPupp]

I was just playing around with the beta that's out there.. I don't know if it's because it's a beta, but the content aware fill really isn't nearly as good as they make it out to be in the video. Most of my results are more like the "joke" one posted above. I'll wait until the final version comes out before deciding whether it sucks though

[1exotic]

^ A lot of people are misunderstanding how content aware works... it's exactly the same thing as the clone stamp tool, but instead it just automatically fills in the selected area based on the surroundings. Using the clone tool you fill/cover up/remove something manually doing it piece by piece in CS4 and the older photoshop versions...
In that picture above for example, it can't just create part of the tits and nipples... it would have to exist there in the first place... Also in that video he's removing things or covering them up with something that already exists in the picture...

I haven't tried CS5 yet... probably won't till real version comes out since kinda know what to expect.

[Kim Jong Un]

just wait til google release their photoshop... content aware fills that scan the entire image database for most appropriate bare tits LOL

I know how it works. I had just hoped it would make it eliminate a lot of clone/stamp work. At least in the beta, it's too 'dumb' to be useful in most cases it seems.

[JLC]

Thats frigin amazing...WOW!

[lilaznviper]

just tested out content aware today on a pano picture

http://imgur.com/FEIUl.jpg

http://imgur.com/svHJj.jpg

not perfect but will save time on editing i guess

[77civic1200]

That looks pretty damn good, most of the issues look like inconsistent exposure problems when shooting?

[lilaznviper]

taken with a point and shoot

[FerrariEnzo]

wow its perfect for me..

coz i cant use photoshop worth shit!!!

[Kim Jong Un]

Just tried it out, not the best but yea it does save a whole lot of time trying to clone out something like this.

:eek2:

Pretty amazed that it only took about 15 seconds to do this. I selected the road and hit delete. I don't know if I should be disgusted, or be amazed! :p

[niforpix]

Not bad, but not perfect. You can still see where it copied and pasted the grass from. It just makes things quicker that's all.

[LiquidTurbo]

^Yea, for sure, but for a first pass.. thats really not that bad!

[J____]

shit thats pretty good!
