It is interesting to read the different reactions within this group to the
new Photoshop features though. Some folks see this as some improved tools
and I think admire the technology too. I am certainly in that group. Others
have a more traditional mind-set and disapprove of the possibilities for
image manipulation. Each is correct for themselves of course.

As far as the Content Aware Filling, some may not be aware that it is an
extension of a capability that Photoshop already has. That is Content Aware
Scaling which allows for intelligent scaling of objects within an image.

I could see the new feature being an absolute boon for people interested in
stitching together panoramas while news reporters of course are not
permitted to manipulate their images beyond whatever rules their
organisations set.

Cheers
