CS5 Content-Aware practical use

[bhursey]

I downloaded the trial of cs5. The demos wowed me. So I downloaded it and tried to first remove powerlines from the sky after multiple attempts and following instructions online I gave up because using the brush the area is darker than the other. So for sky areas Aperture 3's heal brush works much better. So I think the content aware is more for patterned areas. I noticed taking out polls from in front of bricks worked well also. I did a photo shoot this past weekend and after it was done I was disappointed in noticing that the pillow was turned the wrong way. So now we have this ugly tag in my picture and I would have to crop it out taking away the frame that I wanted. So I thought why not lets try this content-aware fill. It worked quite well see the before and after and the screen cast on doing the process below.
