Step Six:
Here’s a different image, with a different problem (and a different solution). In the Content-Aware Fill panel’s Fill Settings section, there’s an option called
Rotation Adaptation and it’s used when you need to influence how Content-Aware Fill picks its patch area from a round object. Here, at the top, the green
plate on the right has a bright highlight that’s messing up the detail in the bottom of the plate. So, I selected it with Lasso tool (L), and then brought up the
Content-Aware Fill workspace. Below left, you can see the result of the default Content-Aware Fill repair (which is a mess). After choosing High from the
Rotation Adaptation pop-up menu (which is precisely for problems like this), you get the far better result you see below right. You should try out each of
the rotations to see which one you like best, because they all worked pretty well, but the results here were just a bit different (I thought Full looked really
good for this image, as well, but I went with High).

Step Seven:
Here’s a different problem. In this case, I want to remove the celery from our plate of boneless wings (apparently, it doesn’t have enough fat, sodium, or
calories to be in this image). You can see I’ve selected the celery with the Lasso tool, so that area appears in a green tint. When Content-Aware Fill did its
thing, you can see the results (below left) were less than awesome. To see if you can coax some better results, head over to the Fill Settings section and try
turning on the Mirror checkbox, which lets Content-Aware Fill flip the patch if it thinks it will do a better job. While turning on the Mirror checkbox here
didn’t make it perfect, it sure made it a lot better. Another option in this section is Color Adaptation, which I mentioned in the last project, but here you can
choose different levels of it (from None to Very High). It didn’t help with our wings picture, but you’ll want to know it’s there as an option. The Scale
checkbox lets it change the size of the patch if it thinks it’ll give you better results (particularly helpful if there’s a repeating pattern on a floor or a
background).
