One of the great retouching tool is content aware fill. And this example, let's maybe say we need to clear the sky from these birds again. So it can be selecting all of them within one selection, maybe using the lasso tool, pressing Shift, then go to Edit, then selecting content our fill. Here we have our preview and we have our sampling area in here, mark it was green color. As you can see, it's going to be outputting new results to a new layer. And within that example, everything is going fine.

We don't need to change anything. So we're going to be pressing OK. Now we have clear skies easily like that we can be pressing Command D to remove that selection. And let's even move to that image. Here, let's say you need to get rid of these branches within our image, maybe because we like that background. And I've got that selection already saved for you guys. So I'm going to go to Select node selection and pressing OK. Now we can go to Edit, we can be selecting content aware fill.

However now let's select Phil for instance. And we need to be selecting content our instead of foreground or background color or color. pressing OK. Now we can be hiding that selection pressing Command H. And we have an amazing job in here we got our background filled with that color. However, we don't have that one in a super clear, and we don't also have full control over our fit. So let me undo that recent command Z and pressing Command h once again so we can see our selection. Then go to edit content aware fill now At least we're going to have that effect on a new layer.

So I'm going to be pressing OK. And we have the same result however, we have that one in a separate layer. Now let's move to a harder example in that image. Here we have those airboats and we need to remove them from our image, selecting them using lasso tool as well, along with their reflection. And let's go to edit content aware fill. In that case, it's not doing the best job as you can see, we have that spot in here we can be zooming in a bit so you can see better. However, we can try to enhance that one a bit.

So let's select that brush in here. And it's assembling Brush Tool, where we can be removing these areas as we don't need Photoshop to sample from these areas. And also above blue is not required in that area we need to tell Photoshop to only mimic from that gradient area from our image, which is similar to that area. So let's also move apart from our image as it's not a similar gradient area maybe let's move apart as well. I still don't have the best result yet. So let's go with color adaptation.

We have some settings in here so let's select very high. Does it look amazing that way, so let me try even high and for patient adaptation as well. You can be selecting full It's not helping is that case it's trial and error. So you can keep trying with these settings in here, maybe medium. So I'm going to get back to long as it was better that way. And also can be trying scale especially as button.

If you hover over that one, you can be seeing a nice demonstration by Photoshop in here for scale. And same as well for mirror. If you hover over that one, this will be amazing for symmetry elements. Then let's press OK. I know it's not looking amazing that way, it's not the best result. However, we can be enhancing that one using maybe Spot Healing tool or healing brush tool.

In that case, maybe healing brush tool might be noise, D selecting or selection pressing Command D. Then I'm going to be pressing ALT to sample from that gradient area in here. I'm going to be painting over the post the same as we're in here. Now we have clearly got rid of these airboats. And as you can see, using content, our fill can be accurate, up to maybe 40 or 50 percents in some cases and maybe in other cases, you might need to be using other tools, like maybe Healing Brush tools or chloro stamp or something like that.
