Hi all

Back in Dec my mid 2010 imac died and i recently replaced it with a 24"
imac M3.
I had to update my LR and PS to subscription base and did so last week
I'm not to good at PS, much better at LR, but one thing I use PS for is
flipping lens balls and trying to clone out a tripod mount if not holding
the ball in my finger.
I'm horrible at it and was hoping PS 2024 would be easier to do so it in
but i'm pulling my hair out to get content aware to do so,

I've looked at a number of utubes but nothing seems to work or cannot
locate the buttons or links needed todo so.

Asking the group if anyone has any helpful links they'd like tos hare,

Dave .

Rather than using content aware fill, try using generative fill.

I opened the image in Photoshop, drew quite loosely around the tripod
head with the lasso tool, then edit/generative fill and clicked fill
with nothing in the dialogue box.

If you do too tight a selection Photoshop will screw it up, it needs
surrounding detail to create the fill so you need to give it plenty of
elbow room. The selection I gave it was about the same size as the globe.

My understanding is that generative fill in it's present form creates
everything at a maximum resolution of 1024x1024. The people who know
more than me seem to be using fixed size boxes at that size and then
doing multiple passes with generative fill with higher resolution images.

One of the things you might have received with your subscription is
access to Photoshop Beta which is the test bed for Photoshop, so new
features appear there and as they are perfected they then trickle into
Photoshop 24 as updates.

For example, the image I posted was done on Photoshop Beta version 25.0.0

so, it looks like I may have been trying to do this with the wrong tools,
saw a video on the removal tool which worked on my example photo.
