In sci-fi films the s**t usually hits the fans around about the time that the computer or robot becomes ’self aware’. Well photoshop has become almost self aware except this new tool is called ‘content aware’.

This video from Adobe shows how the new tool goes beyond the usual retouching tools to actually reimaginging and creating imagery in your picture where there wasn’t any before.

The first photo example shows how handy this tool will be, but skip along to towards the end and the last two examples. It’s gets a bit creepy for me.
