Let's take a quick look at two different ways to do Content Aware Fill in Photoshop. One is just a click or two and mostly automatic and the other takes a little longer but gives you more control.

Tips like this are precisely why I'm a member of the Matt Kloskowski Fan Club! Many thanks, Matt!

[@MattKloskowski]

Thanks Michael. I think I now have two people in the club... you and my mom! :-) Take care!

[@ayeshaalvi1610]

I would take a moment to appreciate how good you are at explaining things. Really helped. Thank you!

[@attilavidacs24]

Thank you so much. The sampling option really helped me.

[@seba_saav]

Literally god bless your soul. you saved me

[@theangharad]

thank you so much for including the sampling stuff it saved me from a lot of frustration!

[@johnoldridge7735]

Thanks so much Matt. I’m just starting out in Photoshop, so love your videos. I keep going back and back to rewatch

[@yodawok]

Check out his training course (Ps)... very simple to the point and no pain; been using his Ps course for a.long time.. NOT disappointed .

[@num1fandmb]

Awesome tip. Thanks for making the video!

[@anderslonn730]

Thank you Matt, very helpful! 🙂

Thanks Matt. I use CAF so often, that I set up a custom keyboard shortcut to launch it. It is an amazing tool.

[@MattKloskowski]

It really is!

[@RoseKerin]

Thanks Matt. Such as easy solution after all.

[@JosephAntti]

Hey Brother, you really helped me out in a tight spot. Thank you.

[@Dexter101x]

And this is the thing my CS6 doesn't have, but thanks for the video nonetheless

[@emilbaden3564]

Great video! Thank you so much!

I saw a technique somewhere before when CA was reiterated using smaller selections, then certain spots were hidden by painting within the layer masks. CAF is good for cleaning up duplicated patterns left by the clone stamp tool, as well, similar to the healing brush, but more intelligent.

[@mp_reviews]

Thank you. You rock! 😁👍

[@alanm.6096]

Appreciated as always.
It looks like the Patch Tool could also have served a purpose as well.

[@LifeofanArchitect_TylerD]

Thank you!

[@suzettecalderon5100]

Thank you. Got it! :))

[@judilecompte9377]

Hi Matt. Will you please consider doing a series on the Adobe mobile apps? I’d love to be able to use my iPad Pro for editing, but it seems overwhelming. I’d love to get your thoughts, from importing through editing in Lightroom and photoshop.

[@paulm8157]

A keeper, Matt! Was using CAF yesterday - definitely a challenge for complex image tone areas (in my case mesh fencing in front of a goat’s leg - wanted to ditch the fence but fill in realistic goat fir; CAF kept replicating the goat’s knee - no kidding, go figure). BTW, super osprey pics; first image looks like a man in a costume w/arms spread.

[@gyrgrls]

There ought to be another feature called CALF - content aware leg fill

[@adriangrosu6082]

A big thank you, like and subscribe!

[@davidterry4980]

In most cases I feel like the patch tool is faster. It's the same as using the lasso tool, but then I hit the delete key followed by enter and it immediately deletes and does content aware fill. If it gets it wrong, I hit ctrl-z and instead drag the lasso over to what I prefer that it sample and let go. Usually that's all I have to do.

[@user-ud3kd1xg6l]

thank u

[@AnthonyMarcano1]

Hey Matt! maybe you can answer this question. I've notice when I make a selection and do the whole process. the part that gets replaced is super soft ( blurred ). what do you suggest to do? I wish I can attach a screen shot of it so you can see. thank you.

[@TheIronDuke9]

content aware fill leaves a white outline around the object I'm trying to get rid of when it's on a darker background, I guess I just use the clone stamp to get rid of that?

[@MattKloskowski]

Yep. That or healing.

[@Ken_in_Wisconsin]

I have Photoshhop CC 2017.1.0 and I don't have the "Content-Aware Fill..." option showing. Do I need a newer version of PS?

[@MattKloskowski]

Hi. Yes you’ll need the subscription version.

[@Lapusso650]

Why'd you leave the cursor on "find or remove text"...
