O_O thats pretty good


man i could make textures for my maps way easier with that

 

[curnel_D]

Uh... Holy ***! Adobe just turned me into a Photoshop professional.

 

[leo2kp]

That's...awesome.

 

[dan117]

I hope it's not some April fools' joke from Adobe. This would be very useful.

 

[deadly4u]

OH... MY... GOD... Content-Aware Fill is my new best friend *cry*

The amount of time I spent doing EXACTLY what this tool is showing me, could have saved me SO MUCH TIME

 

[saaiello]

Well that just frickin awesome

 

[Guest]

If this is true, it will be the very best thing Adobe have ever created!

I will pay for this kind of functionality! I spend hours every week doing exactly those touch ups, hours of life given back to me

content aware. THE reason to buy CS5.

but this has a down side...how many photo manipulating companies are gonna go bust now???

 

[salimbest83]

i just..WOW

 

[SchizoFrog]

Will this tool also be included in the next version of Elements or only in the full CS5?

 

[jerrspud]

wow .. I poopped my pants. good thing I can fix that now

 

[warezme]

Now if Adobe makes Photoshop 5 PC only, I think Steve Jobs may quit slamming Adobe Flash or risk losing a chunk of its market.

None, making things simpler means prices can be lowered and more clients can get access to the services, which means everyone benefits (It's not like Photoshop can turn you into an artist or designer, it can't).

I don't want to rain on anyone's parade but i was in my uber-cool mode when i saw what could be done with gpu acceleration and filters as cs4 was preparing to launch (don't get me started on flash cs4 which is a pain in the rear) .. but the end product proved to be disappointing, it didn't live up to the expectations. I might be reserved on this one, but i doubt that the finished product, cs5, will be anything close to this. Final argument .. it's Adobe we're talking about.

Let's face it

 

[michaelahess]

Holy Crap! Adobe made something cool! Hope paint.net gets something like this now, even with this ps is not worth the cost.

 

[sliem]

How the f-ing f can a program do that? amazing!!! It's got a brain of its own!

 

[CBaca]

Awesome tool. I guess I will have to think about upgrading from CS3 now. I'll wait and see what the finished product is like.

 

[1pp1k10k4m1]

Freaking amazing...this is the single coolest feature in photoshop ever. I work as a graphic designer, and do web too. This would save me so much time I don't even know what to do...I want to cry, really long and hard.

 

[blacksins]

YOU GOTTA BE KIDDIN' ME!!!!!

 

[aethm]

Wow... gotta say. I'm impressed. I may actually buy this..

Make sure you have allot of $ with you. It is not a cheap program.
I have the poor mans Photoshop (Photoshop Elements) and it does a nice job on my Mini Mac. I use the clone stamp to clear out cross hairs and the likes in game screenshots to make wallpapers for my gaming computer, works great.

 

[sailfish]

Crap! They had to go and do that to where now I really do want to buy the upgrade. I love it!

 

[ben850]

I'm hardly ever impressed with new technology/software but this one has me shitting bricks!

This is the foreground tool http://www.siox.org/
combined with some statistical analysis and this: http://grail.cs.washington.edu/projects/videoenhancement/videoEnhancement.htm
(Look at the test pictures. In the third, the software generated a good fitting replacement piece of tree cortex.

Thus what adobe could be doing would be a combination of these three. It might work, but that doesn't mean it will work always right of course. These kind of algorithms are always very fragile in complicated situations.

I'm hoping someone will with these links be able to make a free & Open Source plug in that also works with Gimp.

(I still think the content-aware scaling from CS3 is crap. It might give good results but things in your pictures will have wrong dimensions. You get size distortions. I really don't like that. )
