Adobe Photoshop CS6 comes with new photo editing tools that open the way for major changes in the images you refinish.

Content-Aware Move Tool is a tool that assists the movement of objects in the image, selected in advance by the user, then patched the void left with an image derived from the texture and appearance of objects in the vicinity. Applied even by inexperienced users, changes can be very convincing, thanks to the use of advanced algorithms for image analysis and processing.

To tailor an image using Content-Aware Move, you must first select it from the list of tools, tool by right clicking on the Spot Healing Brush tool, followed by selecting Move Content-Aware.

Then we select the object we want to move to another portion of the image, its outline closely following the mouse cursor. The best results are obtained if we follow the outer contour of the object without touching it.

After being selected, the object can be moved anywhere in the image by dragging the cursor. The application will proceed to analyze the natural image object and background merge new locations and filling the void with a texture that mimics the appearance of objects in the vicinity.

Depending on the particular background image, it’s possible that the object moved to the new location won’t be done properly, it is too much dissolved in the background. We can correct this by adjusting the parameter before Adaptation. Medium value adjusted default, this setting allows us to choose between a merging of the image as background (Loose, or Very Loose), and preserved the original object, with less risk of a merge with the background picture perfect.

If everything went according to plan, modified image will look natural and the interventions made won’t be noticeable.
