How to use Multi Image Content Aware Fill in Photoshop Beta<\/h1>\n

This Photoshop tutorial shows you how to use an experimental feature that uses additional images to automatically patch and fill areas of a photo to remove objects and distractions.\u00a0Currently you won’t find this feature in the regular version of Photoshop it’s in the public beta. I show you how to access the beta at the end of this tutorial. (Note: I can’t provide any support on the beta).<\/p>\n

Let’s see how it works on a basic example. Then we will use another example, where we dig deeper with additional features to fix another image.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Why Content Aware Fill doesn’t always work<\/h2>\n

Just to test the traditional Content aware fill, lets see how it does on this image. (how to use Content Aware Fill<\/a>)<\/p>\n

Make a selection with the rectangular marquee tool.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Press Shift+Delete (mac) Shift+Backspace (Windows) to open the fill dialog box.<\/p>\n

Choose Content Aware Fill.<\/p>\n

As you can see the front doesn’t work very well. The reason it doesn’t work, is the detail can’t be created out of thin air (yet.. mid journey Dall-E style ai will change this in the future).<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

New Multi Image Content Aware Fill<\/h2>\n

In order for this new feature to work, we need another image that has the pixels we need.<\/p>\n

(you will need to take multiple pictures to use this feature. You may be able to find a stock photo to use.)<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Choose the object selection tool<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Drag around the first area to select.<\/p>\n

To add additional selections, hold down the Shift key and make additional selections.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Choose Select>Modify>Expand Selection<\/p>\n

Enter 5<\/p>\n

Click ok<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

This will add a nice buffer so there won’t be edges on the selections<\/p>\n

Choose Edit>Content-Aware Fill<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

You can see the result isn’t great.\u00a0Let’s use the new feature.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Click on Add additional Document<\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Grab this other image<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

And you can see the result is much better.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The after image<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Let’s look at a more difficult example.<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

We went to remove the blurred foreground elements.<\/p>\n

Grab the lasso tool and make a selection around the area we want to fix.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Choose Edit>Content-Aware Fill<\/p>\n

You can see the tail and bottom part of the bird is missing.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Add additional image<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Here is a clean bird to use.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

You can see the additional in the Content Aware Fill dialog.<\/p>\n

Unlike the boat, the bird isn’t looking better. Le’s fix it.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Choose the Pin tool<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

We will add pins to the working image.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Add a pin on important areas of the photo by clicking.<\/p>\n

You can add 4 pins.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

On the additional image, drag the numbered pins<\/p>\n

You want to match the locations on the pins between the 2 images.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

As you can see the result has been updated and looks much better.<\/p>\n

There are some settings to fix the color, but at the moment they don’t work very well. (Its still in Beta, so its not finished)<\/p>\n

Click ok.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Let’s fix the color and then I’ll show you how to get the beta.<\/p>\n

Create a new layer and put it on top.<\/p>\n

Change the blending mode to color.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Choose the brush tool.<\/p>\n

Hold down Alt\/Option and click on the image to sample color.<\/p>\n

Grab the neutral color.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Paint over the tail to fix the color.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Get the Photoshop Beta<\/h1>\n

You have to be a Creative Cloud Subscriber to access the beta. Find the Creative Cloud app on your desktop (Its usually in the toolbar)<\/p>\n

On the Left column you will see Beta Apps<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Click on Beta Apps and you will see the available apps<\/p>\n

Click on Photoshop one to install it.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

When you launch Photoshop, make sure it’s the beta version, as both versions will be installed at the same time.<\/p>\n

When you use this, provide feedback to Adobe, they listen!<\/p>\n

Click the beaker icon in the beta.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

It will take you to the beta Feedback \u00a0where you can visit th Beta Community and add your thoughts.<\/p>\n
