VOTW: Adobe Makes Photoshopping Easy as Pie

Adobe this week released a sneak peek of one of the tools that will be available in Photoshop CS5.

The 'Content-Aware Fill' tool allows you to remove unwanted items, like camera lens flare and stray pieces of trash or out-of-place rocks with just a couple of clicks. Adding, moving and repairing just got a whole lot easier – all you have to do is select the problem area with the Content-Aware Fill tool, click and Photoshop does the rest.

Check out the video below for a demo.

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

    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 :)

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

    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

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

    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.

    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.
