The output settings allow you to choose to have the output on a new layer or as a layer mask on the current layer. Other times – like when you need a hard edge – it’ll be better to turn it off. The default often works great, but sometimes you’ll need more blending. (I don’t find that these two options help a lot.)Ĭolor adaption tells the tool how much you want it to blend in to surrounding colors. Scaling will make details larger and smaller to try to fit them in mirroring will flip details back and forth. Now you can tell Photoshop exactly where to pull its sampling information from (and where not to). What’s new and particularly useful in Photoshop 2021 is the sampling area options. On the toolbar to the right you can adjust how the mask looks, the color adjustment level, and the output settings.

Now we have a dialog box with a lot of controls. You either lived with the results or did things by hand. Until recently, Photoshop’s content aware fill tool used to just do everything automatically. Next to it is the image preview, which allows you to zoom in or out as needed.

(It’s usually on the left, but I’ve it moved to the right here so we can see what’s happening in the image.) The green area is where the content aware fill tool is going to sample from. The image on the right shows the selected object and the area from which Photoshop is going to pull the pixel information (in green).The first thing you’ll notice is an image box with your selection surrounded by a green mask. The image on the left is the preview of the object removed.
