Content-Aware Crop to land in Photoshop CC 2016

   A preview of where Content-Aware Crop can help artists add computer-generated content to their photos

 

June is approaching and so is a new major release of Adobe's flagship product, the Creative Cloud suite, made up of several utilities aimed at creatives.

To get people excited about what's coming in the company's upcoming version, Adobe released today a teaser of a new feature called Content-Aware Crop.

If the name sounds familiar, it's because the new cropping option has a direct tie to Photoshop's now infamous Content-Aware Fill feature, and naturally, works in the same way.

Content-Aware Fill works by allowing users to delete a small part of their photo and relying on Photoshop to add computer-generated content to the deleted section, based on what's near the removed area.

Content-Aware Crop works in a similar manner, but when you crop (cut-out) photos. The most obvious use case for this tool is when you're cropping tilted photos.

New feature expected in Adobe CC 2016

As you'll see in the video below, users can rotate the photo until the horizon line is leveled, and then use the crop tool, with the Content-Aware Crop option enabled, to crop the photo, even by going over its edges.

In the sections of the photos where the user has cropped empty space, instead of white blobs, Photoshop will use the same Content-Aware Fill algorithm to generate and fill in the picture.

Further, the tool works even with large portions of the image, not just tiny areas, which makes it very useful for amateur photographers that sometimes muddle their photos. Ideally, Content-Aware Crop could be used to add more sky or more ground to a cropped image, helping artists center their photos.

Since a picture is worth a thousand words, a video is technically worth an entire book. So here's the video. Now relax and enjoy the magic.

It's a spectacular feature, but usually not useful for pros. Incentive to upgrade?

Adobe is a little behind the curve on this.  Microsoft Digital ICE (Image Composite Editor) program has had this feature for several years now.  And best of all it is free.

I'm not against progress; it's great to have more perfect and better applications for those who really need them. But, as a casual user of grapghic applications, I feel Adobe should have a "feet on earth" simplified version for those of us who really are not interested in their bloatware and it's infinite number of add-ons. This goes for many other applications offering more and more features with scarce practical use for casual users like.  But this is not really a problem, just "philosophy". I can live happily forever without the need to use Photoshop. My favorite graphic application is a portable version of Paintshop Pro 5. Some of those great features of Photoshop I might need to use occasionally, are supplied by simlpe and easy to use standalone applications.

I wish if they fix a lot of lagging, memory leak, able to ad more fonts than 4000 or so, also the subscription is killing their business.

Cloud bollocks is not needed by any pro, cause we create our own textures, brushes...

 

And finally they need to expend Typekit services which is their most useful cloud crap we use.

For quite a few years I can't see Photoshop coming out with some significant feature, they just put some unusefull feature and coax users to upgrade.
