- Choose the Content-Aware Scale command. Choose Edit→Content-
Aware Scale, which is featured in Figure 8-37. If you did not
load my dekeKeys shortcuts, you can invoke the command with
Ctrl+Shift+Alt+C (�-Shift-Option-C). Otherwise, I reassigned that
shortcut to the more frequently used Image→Crop. In any event,
Photoshop surrounds the image with eight scale handles, just as
if you were working in the free transform mode. - Scale the image as tall as it will go. Go ahead and scale the image
window to give yourself some extra gray pasteboard so you have
enough room to work. Then drag the top handle all the way to the
top of the canvas. If you drag slowly, you’ll see that Photoshop fo-
cuses most of its efforts on the background sky. But after a point, it
can’t help but engage the leaping woman to a lesser extent. Lesser
or not, the command still manages to make an absolute mess of
things, as witnessed in Figure 8-37.
