It&#8217;s called the &#8220;content-aware&#8221; fill tool and it is available in Adobe Photoshop CS5<span id="more-2354"></span>. This is radical!</p>
<p>See before &amp; after pictures below.</p>
<p>Notice how in the &#8220;after&#8221; shot below, we have removed the motorcycle, street sign or pole, antenna above the roof, satellite dish, and pipes in the foreground&#8230;</p>
<div class="info"><strong>Difficulty:</strong> Beginner<br />
<strong>Tutorial time:</strong> 5 minutes<br />
<strong>Requirement:</strong> Adobe Photoshop CS5</div>
<div class="big"><strong>Before</strong> (picture exactly as shot):</div>
<p><img class="size-full wp-image-2356 alignnone" title="Before changes" src="http://www.basimmousilli.com/files/blog/2011/01/CIMG4788.jpg" alt="" width="538" height="717" /></p>
<div class="big"><strong>After</strong> (applying the content-aware tool to remove unwanted items):</div>
<p><img class="size-full wp-image-2358 alignnone" title="After changes" src="http://www.basimmousilli.com/files/blog/2011/01/Content-aware-CIMG47882.jpg" alt="" width="538" height="717" /><br />
OK, here&#8217;s how we do it.</p>
<p>1. First select the polygon lasso tool from the Tools box:<br />
<a href="http://www.basimmousilli.com/files/blog/2011/01/Lasso.gif" rel="lightbox[2354]" title="Lasso"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-2362" title="Lasso" src="http://www.basimmousilli.com/files/blog/2011/01/Lasso.gif" alt="" width="60" height="130" /></a></p>
<p>2. Then create a selection around the object you want to eliminate, i.e. this antenna:<br />
<a href="http://www.basimmousilli.com/files/blog/2011/01/Selected.jpg" rel="lightbox[2354]" title="Selected"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-2364" title="Selected" src="http://www.basimmousilli.com/files/blog/2011/01/Selected.jpg" alt="" width="424" height="494" /></a></p>
<p>3. After you make your selection, goto &#8220;Edit &gt; Fill&#8230;&#8221; like this:<br />
<a href="http://www.basimmousilli.com/files/blog/2011/01/Menu.jpg" rel="lightbox[2354]" title="Menu"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-2363" title="Menu" src="http://www.basimmousilli.com/files/blog/2011/01/Menu.jpg" alt="" width="394" height="338" /></a></p>
<p>4. Make sure &#8220;Content-Aware&#8221; is selected and press OK:<br />
<a href="http://www.basimmousilli.com/files/blog/2011/01/Dialog.jpg" rel="lightbox[2354]" title="Dialog"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-2361" title="Dialog" src="http://www.basimmousilli.com/files/blog/2011/01/Dialog.jpg" alt="" width="322" height="251" /></a></p>
<p>5. Like true awesomesauce, Photoshop will remove the item you selected:<br />
<a href="http://www.basimmousilli.com/files/blog/2011/01/Applied1.jpg" rel="lightbox[2354]" title="Applied"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-2365" title="Applied" src="http://www.basimmousilli.com/files/blog/2011/01/Applied1.jpg" alt="" width="424" height="494" /></a></p>
<p>That&#8217;s it! Let me know if you benefited form this tutorial.</p>

<p>Here&#8217;s a breakdown of my creative design services&#8230;</p>
<div class="big">Website design (and redesign)</div>
<p>This includes re-designing your website, creating new websites that are…</p>
<ul class="checklist">
<li>Easy to use and user-updatable, or for complex article management</li>
<li>Video-based with a narrator walking around and talking like on TV</li>
<li>Flash-animated or database-driven sites with custom requirements</li>
<li>App-driven with calendars, news, blogs, contact forms, shopping carts</li>
<li>The list goes on and on…if you’ve seen it done, I can do it</li>
</ul>
<div class="big">Print media design (anything printed)</div>
<p>This includes pretty much anything that can be printed&#8230;</p>
<ul class="checklist">
<li>Magazine ads, newspaper prints, billboards, event banners</li>
<li>T-shirts, CD covers, jars, hats, mouse pads, vehicle graphics</li>
<li>Business cards, brochures, flyers, door hangers, you name it!</li>
</ul>
<div class="big">Logo design (and logo recreation)</div>
<p>OK, here’s what we can do as far as your logo…</p>
<ul class="checklist">
<li>Create a new custom logo or revamp your existing logo</li>
<li>Make your logo 3D, animated, with voiceovers and sound effects</li>
<li>Re-draw your logo if it’s not fit for print (or if you lost the original)</li>
</ul>
<div class="big">Multimedia design (3D/animation)</div>
<p>Multimedia means any design that moves…</p>
<ul class="checklist">
<li>Video production, TV ads, radio ads, voiceovers, sound effects</li>
<li>Flash animations for whatever occasion – to grab attention</li>
<li>3D product renderings, layout maps, interactive diagrams</li>
</ul>
<div class="big">Photography services (photo studio)</div>
<p>Nothing makes a design look better than great photos…</p>
<ul class="checklist">
<li>Product galleries (for the things you want to advertise)</li>
<li>People photos (for the team profiles section of your design)</li>
<li>Location photos (of your building, office, studio, or equipment)</li>
<li>Event photos (to post in your blog…for PR exposure reasons)</li>
</ul>
<div class="big">Marketing your design (spreading the word!)</div>
<p>We have both online/offline marketing campaign approaches that include…</p>
<ul class="checklist">
<li>Viral Youtube videos, Facebook groups, Myspace pages</li>
<li>Interactive ads, annoying pop up ads, website banners</li>
<li>Search engine optimization, newsletter management, etc.</li>
</ul>

This photographer uses a technique called HDR, High Dynamic Range Imaging as described below and by <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High_dynamic_range_imaging" target="_blank">Wikipedia</a>.</p>
<p>You can produce these high-contrast, nice color range, cartoon-like images with your Nikon D60! I’ll explain briefly the concept. My friend Asem actually showed me how to do this once. He does this at Little Woodrow’s bar where he is shoots low-light settings.</p>
<p>You set your camera’s image quality to RAW mode. Then you take a normal picture, a picture with low exposure (dark) and a picture with high exposure (light). Then you use a compositing software which I can give you that puts them together.</p>
<p>The effect is when you have low exposure (black looking), the white areas look more detailed. Likewise, when you have high exposure (white looking), the black areas look more detailed.<br />
When you put it all together, you have a picture that has a nice color and contrast range.</p>
<p>He does this at the bar because there is poor lighting at night in certain areas but near the light or the window for example the lighting is better. This distributes things better.<br />
Try it out. I’d love to see what fine things you come up with.</p>
