Hello again students.
Something that I want to show you how to use is something called content aware.
I’m going to duplicate my layer again as always
and let you know that content aware helps you to get rid of unwanted areas in your pictures, such as the legs here.
And it has to be a kind of special type of picture where you can blend something in with the background,
and essentially what it's doing is once I lasso the area that I want to be eliminated,
it’s going to sense the other content around it, or be aware of what’s around it, hence content aware; and decide how to fill it in.
So essentially what I’m going to try to do- if my computer has enough ram here- is to lasso the area that I don’t want,
to right click and go to fill, and automatically what usually comes up is background color,
you want to scroll down to where it says content aware and select OK.
And what it should do is essentially fill in that unwanted area and it does take a few minutes to do with the area around it.
So it should fill all the places where those legs are with water.
This is a very cool tool because it replaces the need for doing, level 3’s would know, extensive clone stamping or healing.
And that is something we will do with some skin tones, level 2, next month.
The content aware allows you to kind of bypass those ideas and simply eliminate with just one touch.
And again, this works on pictures where the background is very similar, I’m not sure you could delete an entire crowd this way.
See and as I click off of that, legs are gone, and water remains.
So content aware, very simple, very useful, getting rid of an extra arm, a leg, something unwanted in the picture.
If your background is simple enough that it can kind of fill in the gaps.
So I hope that you enjoyed content aware, and it’s something you’ll probably use very frequently.
Good luck!
