Photoshop: Content Aware Fill to Remove Objects
Alright, it's time to go to Photoshop, and in order to do that from Lightroom CC, we simply right-click the image, and we say edit in Photoshop. The several things that I wanna do are not super complicated to do, but they will create a big effect on this photograph. So the first thing that I notice here is this bundle of sticks that I'm not interested in seeing. I would rather see rocks or bushes or something like that in front of that cactus. So the first thing I need to do is select the sticks. So I'm gonna go up to the lasso tool and click on that, and I'm just going to circle those sticks. So I'm just selecting the sticks that I wanna get rid of. Like that. And now I'm gonna go up to the edit menu. I'm going to go down to content-aware fill, and it's gonna pull up a dialog box here, and what it's gonna do is it's gonna try and figure out intelligently how to replace all of that information of sticks with something else. Now the problem is is it doesn't know exactly what to replace ...
it with, and we need to teach it just a little bit. So what we're gonna do here is we're going to tell it what it can and cannot use to replace those sticks. For instance, we don't want it to use any lake or sky. So we're going to this little painter tool that I have access to, has a negative on it inside the circle. If I paint, I'm painting out the things that it could use. So anything that's green it's allowed to use, and anything that's not green it's not allowed to use. So we don't want it to use sky, and we don't want it to use this cactus or any of this lake. Once I've done that, it's gonna reconfigure, it's going back over here, and notice that it started to put rocks down inside there. So now there's a pile of rocks on the left-hand side which is quite nice, but on the right-hand side we're still not seeing what we wanna see. We might have to do this twice. So there we go. So now it's done its rocks over here, but it's still not getting anything over here, and that's quite alright because what we're gonna do now is we're going to hit OK, and you can see that I've got a bunch of rocks right over here, but now we're gonna actually tell it to replace again 'cause we wanna replace this whole area here that it didn't do quite so well. Like that. And we're gonna go back again to edit, content-aware fill, and this time we're gonna tell it you don't get to use any of this stuff. All of this is out. No can use. The only thing we're gonna let it use is that rock. There, see it's starting to use that rock as its major basis for what it's. There, that looks much better. So we're starting to get rocks in there now. Now it's not gonna be perfect, but we can also tell it to only use this as a new layer. So it outputs to a new layer, that set of rocks, and I hit OK. So now I've got a set of rocks, and I've got a set of rocks over here, and I don't have a bundle of sticks anymore.

I wish more people would present this way! Each step from beginning to end demonstrated in short, concise and useful actions. Every tool and technique is something that I either use, (now better) or will start using because I now understand how to use it efficiently. I highly recommend this course!

Finally, a video tutorial that taught me what I've known on basic level and truly explore how to use it properly and what everything means. I've been waiting for something like this for awhile now. Greatly improves my technique now so thank you for this!
