Content-Aware Fill: Removing Stuff Using Content-Aware Fill
The Healing Brush is great for removing spots, wrinkles, etc., and the Patch tool is great for removing larger objects. But, the mack daddy of all cover,
remove, fix, and hide tools is Content-Aware Fill—it uses some amazing technology, and is simple to use. Unless it’s just a spot or speck, I come here first
(even before the Patch tool). It’s particularly handy for filling gaps on the corners or edges of an image that are sometimes left after a major lens correction,
or when you’ve stitched together a pano. Content-Aware Fill is perfect for these because it’s faster, easier, and cleaner. Here, we’ll just do a simple
Content-Aware Fill, and then we’ll look at a more advanced technique, which lets you tweak the results before you commit, so the result is really clean.

Step One:
Here, we want to remove the window and column on the far right, the weeds popping up into the photo from the bottom, and the small edge of the window
ledge along the left side. This feature is called “Content-Aware” Fill because it is aware of what is around the object you’re trying to remove and it
analyzes that surrounding area and does its best to intelligently fill it in. So, start by getting the Rectangular Marquee tool (M) from the Toolbar and make a
selection around the window and column—from top to bottom (as seen here).
