Adobe Photoshop is often used for removing backgrounds and other unwanted objects from a photograph but this new "content aware" technology not only improves that process but makes it easy for Photoshop newbies as well.
You just have to paint the object that you want to remove using the Spot Healing Brush and the program will automatically fill that area with a surrounding pattern.
While Adobe is not talking dates, we could see this feature live in Photoshop CS5.

I have been using other ways to remove unwanted objects from pictures for years but with a lot less than presentable results. This new Adobe Photoshop CS5 would be fantastic, although I am a novice, but I like my photos to look better like everyone else so I do the best that I can. My question is: Is CS4 user friendly? I do not own Adobe Photoshop CS4 or any other photoshop because I figured it was for the pros and too complicated for the average user like myself. If I purchase CS4 now, do they offer free upgrades to CS5??? I am assuming that they do not since like all other programs sell each one as it’s own entity. I am tired of retouching my photos with less that desirable results but I am afraid that I will purchase a program too complicated to use. Which photoshop program give you the best bang for your buck and user friendly? I would appreciate any help with this matter!
