Do you remember when Content-Aware
first became available in Adobe Photoshop?
It was a game-changer. Not because of
how well it worked at the time, but because
the feature laid out a path toward intelligent
auto-corrections in Photoshop. For those
new to this feature, it allows you to
replace pixels, or areas on the canvas, by
evaluating the surrounding pixels. It looks
at colors, patterns, and tonality, then
the software tries to “jigsaw-piece”
the replacement fill based on the
neighboring pixels of the area
you’re replacing. It can be really
impressive with the right image.
