When we decide to delete a part of a photo, one of the problems is how to replace it? Choices can be the Healing Brush Tool or the Clone Stamp Tool, but the best is the Content-Aware Fill Tool.
So let’s talk about how to use the Content Aware Tool in Photoshop in this article.
Opening of the Content-Aware Fill box
Content-Aware Fill is in the Edit menu but is disabled. You must select a part of the image using the selection tools to activate it. For example, I used Lasso Toll to remove one of the ladies in this picture and drew a line around it.

Now select the Content-Aware Fill submenu from the Edit menu.
The Content-Aware Fill box will open.
The Content-Aware Fill workspace
In the Content-Aware workspace, we see two images. One on the right, which shows a preview of the result, and the other on the left, most of which is covered in green. These are the points that the tool will use to cover the replacement area.
The Content-Aware Fill workspace, like Photoshop, has a toolbar for itself on the left.
The Sampling Brush Tool
The top tool in the toolbar is the Sampling Brush tool, which is used to add or reduce the image area used to fill in the blanks.
The Lasso tool
The second tool is Lasso Tool, which if you click and hold on it, you will notice that Polyglonal Lasso Tool is also under it. Lasso tools are used to add or subtract selected areas.
Options Bar is located at the top of the page, where there are + and – signs, and with their help, you can add or subtract a region to the selected part.
The Content Aware Fill Panel
The Content-Aware Fill Panel is on the right side of the Preview section. This area provides the user with options for displaying the Sampling Area and its function. We have four parts in this panel.
The Sampling Area Overly
This section determines how to display the Sampling Area. By checking the Show Sampling Area checkbox, the corresponding area will be displayed in the Preview section. Moving the pointer on the slider bar can change the opacity of the color displayed in the sampling area.
You can select the type of color used to display in the Sampling area by using the color box. And from the drop-down menu, you can choose to show Sampling Area or Excluded Area with this color.
The Sampling Area Options
The Auto option allows Photoshop to use an alternative selection surround to fill the selected area. This option is selected by default.
Rectangular: Photoshop uses a rectangular area around the selected area for sampling and filling it.
Custom: This is my favorite option! Because I can choose with the help of it, and by using Sampling Brush Tools where area that I want to be used for sampling.
Fill setting
Color Adaptation: The areas around the selected area may be different from the selected area in terms of contrast and brightness. This option allows us to choose to what extent these two parameters are matched during filling. Photoshop uses textures and gradients to match. Our options are Default, High, and Very High.
Rotation Adaptation: Allows Photoshop to rotate the content, which can be set from low to full.
Scale : Allows Photoshop to use content resizing to fill specified areas. This method is suitable for repeating patterns and perspective situations.
Mirror : It uses a horizontal flip to fill the selected area.
Good luck!
