CONTENT AWARE: AWESOME!

That is perhaps the best way to describe this new feature. This feature easily does 50-90% percent of the work right away. Simply select an area you want to remove then press Shift-Delete {PC:Shift-Backspace} and choose Content Aware from the Use menu and watch the magic. Now it’s not perfect but if it does 75% percent of the work only requiring you to do some minor tweaks, then it’s well worth it. I guarantee you will try this on every image you have. Even if they don’t need it. It’s that cool to see in action.

  3. I use this quite a bit. Makes you weep with joy for Photoshop CS5. Doesn’t always work, but when it does, it’s quite a time saver and sometimes better than I would have done manually!
