Hi

I've been stitching together some panoramas in photoshop. They tend to have edges that need cropping after the process of stitching and blending. This image is 7 Nikon D200 Nef files taken in portrait orientation and stitched together. Usually I'd crop out the white areas. (ps. i have not applied any post processing to the file except stitching - it needs some tweaking)

So instead of cropping this area I decided to see if the new "content aware fill" tool would work and I chose the left bottom corner to show you the results. It rocks! Ok, its not perfect, but look at how well the program fills the space automatically. [you select the space needing replacing and the program fills it by analysing the content of the area around the selected fill area]

And here is the full image. I've done nothing but apply this content aware fill tool with about 5 clicks of the mouse.

Now before the purists amongst you jump in :) I can see some repetition of elements in the picture and its not ideal to add to a photograph in post processing. Grass is a difficult thing to clone! Isn't it amazing what technology can do!

By the way that's Ambleside and Lake Windemere.
