In this latest tutorial we’re going to take a look at a little known (but super powerful) tool in Photoshop called the Content Aware Move tool. It’s one of those features that requires a certain photo to work with, but once you know the formula, it can actually come in really handy. Enjoy!
About Me
I love teaching and photography... In that order. I feel that enjoying photography, and photo editing can get WAY too complicated. So my personal mission (and favorite thing to do), is to create education that simplifies the process of taking great photos, and how to edit them to get the results you’ve always wanted.
thanks Matt.I was wondering if that works well with cloning the grass on my lawn to fix patches where there is no grass.Once in a while there is a time when its best not to use a special tool. Ex. if the sky has clouds, would this tool work the same. Otherwise, I’ll be experimenting with that tool for sure.
Thanks Matt
Thanks for the update and keeping my version of the Photoshop System up to date. I am getting much better at what I want to do in PS since buying your course.
Thanks Matt,
Another great tip and that tool is going to make editing easier. Wish I had know about it earlier. All your courses and tips are easy to follow and I appreciate you teaching skills.
With the current COVID-19 environment, I took the challenge that this was the year I was going to learn Photoshop.
Matt’s Photoshop System course allowed me to achieve this goal! I am by no means a Photoshop guru, but it does not intimidate me anymore as I now know how to use the tools that I need to develop a workflow to get results. I also love that this course covers only what you need to know as a Photographer which makes the Photoshop interface and menus less overwhelming. The course also describes things you can do just as well in the raw editors in either Lightroom or Camera Raw without going farther in Photoshop.
Well worth the investment, it will increase your digital darkroom skills. Thank you, Matt!
Matt awesome! Thanks, excellent, and easy to understand.
Thank you Matt! Your photo education is fantastic as always! Greatly appreciated! I have learned so much from your tutorials!
You are very kind.
Awesome! Thanks Matt!
Simple and easy to use, as you said, given the right image. It really did a good job moving Comet Neowise and the star field around the comet when I gave it a try.
I found this to be a really effective training. Matt focused on the the things we use as photographers and covered anything I could possibly use to process my images. While I came into it with some knowledge of photoshop, I am a experienced Lightroom user, there were so many details in photoshop that were unknown to me, until Matt’s class! I would highly recommend the series for anyone interested in image processing. Matt;s style is engaging and easy to listen to!! Great job and thanks for taking the mystery out of the application!
Great add Matt, thanks
What do you do when Content Aware leave a shadow of the area selected?
paint over the shadow with the content aware tool and select proximity match.
Thanks again, Matt, for this great tip! And for the free course update to Camera Raw! I love your Photoshop System Course! Very easy to understand.
Guess I was late in finding out about this class since I was not able to view it.
Will it be available for viewing at another time?
Hi Edward. What class are you referring to? My Photoshop System is an online course you can purchase at any time. You can find it by clicking on “COURSE LIST” up top and looking for the Photoshop System.
Thanks!
