Jim Patterson shows you how to use an exciting new feature of Photoshop CS5, content aware fill. The photo edited in the tutorial was taken in Canmore, Alberta, Canada with a brand new Kodak 3.1 megapixel point and shoot camera, pretty hot stuff for its time. The photo is blown out at the top, but for the purposes of the video, we want to look at the problem of those electrical wires. We can easily remove them with content aware fill!

Jim Patterson was a contestant in the Next Photoshop Evangelist contest. The Next Photoshop Evangelist contest asked contestants to submit a two-minute Photoshop video tutorial demonstrating why they should be the Next Photoshop Evangelist at www.nextphotoshopevangelist.com by August 24th, 2010. The video must use Photoshop CS5, a new Photoshop CS5 feature, and, to celebrate the 20th anniversary of Photoshop, incorporate the concept of “20” somewhere in the final image. The Winner received a copy of Creative Suite 5 Design Standard, a trip to Photoshop World (Spring 2011), the chance to demo their tutorial at the conference, roundtrip coach airfare, lodging and meals. All Finalists are showcased on the Photoshop YouTube channel.
