Step 1
Using the content aware tool on different images produces different results. An image witha gradient background such as the sky in this image is quite tricky to work with. Open
beach.jpg in Photoshop.

Step 2
We are extracting the person on the left from this photo. Using the Pen Tool, (P) Begin by
making a path around the subject. The nice thing about using content aware is that you donot have to be exact when making a selection. In fact, do your best not to cut too close to
the subject.

Notice in the image below how far I am drawing the path from the subject. Try to keep thisdistance all the way around. If you go too close, Content Aware will take pixels from the
subject. If you cut too far it will take pixels from the woman on the right.

Step 3
Once you complete the path around the subject, turn it into a selection. This can be done byright clicking on the path and selecting Make Selection.

A dialog box will pop-up, make sure the feathering is set to 0px. Leave all other options as
they are. Click OK.

Step 4
Now we have an active selection around our subject. In this step we will make the subjectdisappear from the image using Content Aware Fill. To do this, go to Edit > Fill.

A dialog box will pop-up, make sure the Content Aware option is selected. Blending modeis set to normal and the opacity is at 100%. Hit OK.
You can cancel the selection at any time by making another selection or just clicking
anywhere else on the page with any selection tool.

Step 5
In this step we will remove some of the other artifacts in the image using the same process.
The content aware tool did miss a spot where the subjects foot originally was. To do this,draw a rectangle around the area using the rectangle selection tool. And use the content
aware fill as we have done in the previous steps.

Step 6 (Optional)
Using the Crop Tool (C) lets crop the image so that the focus is drawn to the woman
jumping. To do this, just crop out an area of the image that you would like to keep. Bewareof the shadow that is left behind from the person that we have removed. You can use the
Content Aware feature to remove this shadow but I have decided to crop it out altogether.

Click the checkmark at the top to keep this area. Photoshop will discard the content that is
outside of your crop area.
Step 7 (Optional)
In this step we will enhance the photo by giving it a more vibrant look. The colors currently
appear somewhat dull. There are many ways to accomplish this but we will use ColorCurves. To do this, go to Image > Adjustments > Curves, (Cmd + M). A dialog box will
pop-up and we will select each of the channels, R, G, B and work on them separately.
Select the Red channel from the dropdown menu.
We are going to make two points on the graph. One in the bottom of the top right square,
and one in the top of the bottom left square.

Once you have made these points, make sure you enter the values for each. For the top rightpoint the Output value is 199, and the input value is 185. For the bottom point the values
are 56 and 68, respectively. You can play around with these setting and adjust them to
whatever you feel is appropriate. Repeat this for each of the colors, Green and Blue.
