For example, in this image, the phone on top of

some grass is replaced easily by default, and it’s

nearly impossible to tell that the phone was ever

there at all. The variance that can be replicated in a

seemingly random way helps keep the texture looking

believable, because the viewer can only look at so

much of the image detail at any moment.

Understanding that Photoshop creates variance,

it’s worth mentioning that, although the phone

is a basic rectangular shape, you’ll improve the

results by making your selection more organic in

nature so that it can blend better. If you were to

make a rectangular marquee selection on such

a random texture, you’ll often see horizontal and

vertical edges in the replaced area. The red area

in the middle image below represents the shape

of the selection used to Content-Aware Fill the

phone area.

PROJECT: RECOMPOSING

WITH CONTENT-AWARE

Here’s an image from Un splash

that you can download and

use to practice re-creating

the final result shown here.

This image is perfect for a

Content-Aware reconstruction.

We want to modify the image

so that it suits a different ori-

entation for layout purposes.

This is a very common task in

real-world projects because

a client may ask for a design

treatment of “more photo to

place text.” Rather than going

back to the location to recap-

ture the image, try some of

the following techniques.
