Hi everybody. I have one correction to make to the Content-Aware Fill and Heal video. The Shift-Delete shortcut is for the Mac. On a PC, you will need to use Shift-Backspace. My apologies for the oversight. Thanks, Mark

I cannot get my “shift/delete” combo to work on the duplicate layer. Any ideas??

Very nicely done!
I hadn’t seen the content aware as a part of the healing brush
Truly amazing.
Thanks

Nice job as always Mark.
Got the same issue as Pete Chatfield. Running 64 bit uner Windows 7.
BTW – Wish we had this feature back a few years ago when you worked on my Jacoranda Tree Image (cows – no cows) back in the Radiant Vista days.

EDIT/FILL or shift/ f5 either work for me.

Thanks Garth – shift/f5 works

Mark,
Content-aware editing is Awesome!!! Your last photo of the “vanishing” clubhouse on the golf course was amazing. This new feature will definitely save a lot of time. Thanks for the video tutorial. Looking forward to more!

The key command isn’t Shift-Delete (on Windows) it’s Shift-Backspace. Took me a while to find the answer, but it works now! Great video!

Since I started to watch your work benches (3 years ago), I can’t tell you how many things I learned about photoshop. I’ve recommended your website to a lot a friends interested about photography and photoshop. These are the right tutorials to watch and learn.
Tank you very much!!!!!

Great video! But, please Mark, give the PC users the shortcuts commands. Thanks in advance.

All I dream about is these two thing’s in LR. I feel it’s time Adobe had them as separate entities. There is good reason for you to be excited about it. These features have put CS5 to a new level.
Mark, I don’t come here much, the only reason is I would love if there was a better forum. I can’t fault your teaching of PS, even bought the disc’s, really into your thing, sorry, I’m not good with words.
But I forget about MSJ Photography because it’s missing the interaction. I raelize your very busy etc, but we could entertain ourselves while your not around….
That or could you please do more emails, to bump my thick head into coming here.
Regards

Mark,
One last comment on this post. Ref the clubhouse removal – according to Dr Brown of Adobe – http://tv.adobe.com/watch/the-russell-brown-show/content-aware-fill-part-1/ If you do a more refined selection around the item that you are removing,the content-aware fill will do a better job of determining what it has to work with in the remaining area.

Thanks for doing this!

Thanks so much for this video. I was trying to use the fill content-aware on a photo yesterday on a background copy and found out why I couldn’t get it. I didn’t know that I had to press the shift key when deleting. I also learnt that to change the fill I can keep trying. So, two big lessons learned in just a few minutes.
Great!!
