Wow ... is this neat.
 

For Christmas, my kids got me Adobe Photoshop CS5 Extended ... a photoprocessing software package. While there are tons of really neat features, the one that first caught my eye was one called "Content Aware Fill." Sounds wierd, but basically you get a picture that has a flaw in it. Maybe it's a landscape where some silly telephone pole got in the way of the mountain in the background ... or, you create a panarama of several photos and it leaves some blank border areas where the pictures didn't quite align.

With CS5, you highlight the blank area or the obstructing object; expand the area by a few pixels (say 10), and then, select the Content Aware Fill option from a drop down menu. Voila' ... CS5 creates an appropriate "fill" for the area selected and you end up with a picture that is complete. A scene with no telephone pole or a landscape where the blank border is now sky or scene.

I won't mislead you. There are things it just can't do. For example part of a person is near the edge you want to "fill." It has no way of creating the missing part to a person ... or how to take the pixels of a person near the edge and create background that would blend with everything else.

Anyway, look at the sample. I think it's amazing.

Wow ... Part 2
 

Here's a sample I call, "A Person Got in the Way". CS5 fixes it. :)

Didn't we have a thread recently about the camera never lying?

It was more an argument over the ease at which photo manipulation has become vs. the authenticity of the older photos because 35mm film requires a dark room.

That is cool as hell. I could edit out half my ass :p

Why?

It's fine just the way it is.

You can give me that half. :hump:





Really, really neat DB. :thumb:

If you were to do so, you'd have to edit out all of our hearts here at Pixies. We love your ass just the way it is.

It is considerably smaller than the last you saw it :) My rump shaking is working some.

Shake it on this. :boink:















:doorpeek:

Video profit opportunity going begging here folks. LOL

So long as it's still yours, it's still the subject of my lust.

Sounds like a crazy half-assed idea to me.

Nah, I want the whole ass Oldfart. Not just half.
