Photoshop CS6 adds content-aware move

Adobe has announced a very useful and cool feature for Photoshop CS6 called “content-aware move.” You’ll be able to easily move entire objects within the photo and have Photoshop automatically paste in the correct background.

In the image above, when the girl in red is moved to the center of the image, new grass and part of a building is added seamlessly. In the image below, the subject is moved to the right while the appropriate sky, sand, and blue wall is added.

Here’s a sneak-peek video from Bryan O’Neil Hughes, Senior Product Manager for Photoshop:

While Adobe hasn’t yet provided an expected release date for Photoshop CS6, the company has been demonstrating various upcoming features on their official Photoshop YouTube channel. Here are some of the sneak peeks:
