Content-Aware Fill in Photoshop
Have you ever straightened
or rotated an image only to be left with blank areas? Hereās where
Content-Aware comes to the rescues to fill in those areas. You can call it
smart technology!
Use the Magic Wand tool and
select the blank areas. Next go to the select Menu and click Modify >
Expand. Increase the selection area up to 10 pixels depending on the size of
your picture and the amount of empty space. Then go to Fill in the edit menu.
Click on it and youāll see the Fill options window appear. Content-Aware should
be selected by default, but if not choose it from the drop-down menu.
There will be a short pause
while Photoshop goes to work filling in the blank areas with textures derived
from the content of the immediately surrounding area. And like magic - no need to crop those areas unless you want to!!!
Lastly, to add a creative
effect I applied an Oil Paint Filter (Filter > Stylize > Oil Paint). I
used the Find Edges filter (Filter > Stylize > Find Edges) to desaturate
the image and changed the blend mode to Multiply. This is one of the castles we visited while in Copenhagen.
Renewing our Minds
If we are to effectively create for the glory of God and the good
of others, rather than primarily for our own fame and fortune, we must, in the
words of the Apostle Paul, ānot be conformed to this world, but be transformed
by the renewing of [our minds]." In order to effectively do this, a
community of fellow Christian creators is an essential ingredient.
The simple act of being faithful to Godās call to create has
eternal significance. As we create in this world, it takes regular communion
with our brothers and sisters in Christ to renew our minds and continually āfix
our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseenā (2 Corinthians 4:18).
Be Blessed and be a blessing!
