Last night I was pleased to win the Advanced open section in our monthly competition. I wanted to remove an element in the image that made it look very cluttered so I tried for the first time the Content Aware Fill feature introduced in Photoshop CS5. It requires you to select what you want to remove select the option and it does an analysis of the surrounding area to decide what should be there. It doesn't always work the way you expect but I was very pleased in this case that it worked perfectly first time, so here's a short video on how I used it. To get a clearer view select the full screen icon in the bottom left hand corner of the video (after the words YouTube) and it will show in full screen.
I've also decided to show you the image as it came out of the camera and what I finally presented:
