Adobe is soon set to bring a new feature Photoshop users' way - the Content-Aware Crop tool, which builds on an existing feature.
Plenty of times when one takes a picture, there are things in the background which one would ideally like omitted. While plenty of editing methods are at one's disposal to get rid of the unwanted item in your perfect image, the simplest way to remove it in Photoshop is by using the Content-Aware Fill tool.
This tool basically requires that a user select the area around the object they wish to remove and then select the Fill option, followed by Content-Aware. In a matter of seconds the selected spot gets automatically filled with new content, making the spot unidentifiable from the area around.
Building on this handy tool, Adobe is poised to introduce the Content-Aware Crop tool in the next Photoshop Creative Cloud (CC) update, and gave a glimpse into the feature in a new video posted on YouTube on Thursday, May 26.

"Every now and then, as we are building a new feature, we decide that it's just too good to keep to ourselves and we show it to you early - before it is ready to ship to customers. So today we're giving you a peek at Content-Aware Crop, a feature the Photoshop team is currently working on for you," noted Pam Clark, product manager of Photoshop at Adobe.
The YouTube video on the official Adope Photoshop channel demoes the Content-Aware Crop feature, showing off the software's capabilities to fill up the missing areas in a photo automatically with the crop tool.
The Content-Aware Crop for Photoshop tool basically utilizes the Content-Aware technology to fill the gaps automatically when one uses the Crop tool to revolve an image, or expand the canvas "beyond the image's original size."
So thanks to the new tool, even if one end ups with unnecessary white space, the Content-Aware Crop feature will fill it up automatically and seamlessly so that there are no jagged edges.
Check out the video below which demonstrates the upcoming feature. When will it release? Adobe does not give a time window and merely lets on that it will arrive for Photoshop CC as part of an "upcoming major release."
