As usual always quite well explained, that makes me keen and curious to how well built and explained are your professional photoshop teaching videos. Thank you!

[@samsargdong1135]

Great video, Aaron.Thanks!

Amazing video tutorial.

[@JonathanSippel]

Your shirt looks like the grain from a high ISO night shot. Now that is dedication to a photography theme!

[@sanjaykumarsingh7882]

Thank you so much 😃 nice learning for me.

[@devussharmi6676]

Thanks a lot phlern....

[@oldgrumpyjim5003]

Have found that a combination of content aware spot heal and content aware fill is the most successful providing you are realistic in what you are trying to achieve e.g don't try to remove stuff that is impossible to remove. Have tried many other alternatives to photoshop like Capture one and the like and for me adobe beats them all the time, for now! Great instructional video as always!

[@ChuckNorris-bf5cj]

Aaron, there's too much color noise on your T-shirt. What ISO did you use when you bought it?

[@-rhys]

Thank you. An interesting run-through.

[@barbarapearson197]

very helpful and very clear thanks

[@BanglaTutorialHR]

Wow...Awesome...🤗

[@INSTAFLIXMEDIA]

Returned to this channel after a long long time. Hope you are doing well Aaron. Loving your new beard style. 😎

[@rufertsoncheever]

great video thanks

[@noonsound4894]

Great stuff as always. Starting to get a Chuck Mangione vibe with your facial manscaping. 👍

[@stanleynich]

Arron used spot healing brush yesterday to remove a fire hydrant and a car passing by in the background it did a awesome

[@Teddy-rh8vl]

I'm phlearning !!!

[@teddy00b]

Hey Aaron, In the second example you did not change the sampling area to just the railing. Maybe that would've helped?

[@flyingvish]

Yeah i think so, also limiting the range of from where the progam can sample by exclusing the lady ,the water and the other wooden structures would also probably helped.

[@BubbleGendut]

Agree! But I think the idea was to compare the Three methods, therefore test conditions need to be the same. I will try with test image kindly supplied.

[@Mrtom40]

Dude good vid thank you what Wacom do you think is the best to use and what do you use

[@khalidalneeamy319]

thanks phlearn

[@scenesnatcher]

simply genius . . . .

[@PJZ]

Take a drink when Aaron says "Guess and Check."

[@goergematei1484]

You are a smart guy ;) These are easy situations

[@UncleJimsBand]

Thanks for the great walk through and comparison. But, Aaron, we're right here, behind the first camera. There's gotta be a motivation for looking off axis into that second camera. I know the affectation has become popular. I know editing a one camera shoot is boring. I know everybody's using this stunt now - but it's silly. Other than that, this was another perfect Phlearn video with excellent knowledge presentation. You're incredibly effective at this.

[@UncleJimsBand]

BTW, I am a paid subscriber to your service. I pay because I have learned so much watching your freely provided youtube videos. Watching you solve problems is the quickest way to learn, but every time I launch myself into a psd I feel the pressure of a million details half understood. At some point I'll carve out a week straight to sit through all your paid tutorials. Thanks!

[@stuartschaffner9744]

Excellent! However, I think of content-aware fill as being more of an automated clone stamp, especially if you use the clone stamp control window with its scaling and rotation controls. With that in mind, how about removing the birds in two steps, first removing one fence section worth and restricting the sampling area to the clean fencing on the far right? If you get the first step right, the second content-aware operation should be easier. That’s sort of how I would do it with the clone stamp tool.

[@LamarcusWayne]

I love all of your content! Do you have any videos on photoshopping fairy lights into images???

[@phlearn]

We do have one on adding bokeh in Photoshop - the techniques there should help out: phlearn.com/createbokeh

[@jwkooi1979]

Hi, could you advise me which macbook the minimum is i need for good photo editing? I only know windows laptops. Thank you.

[@TheMisterBlueberry]

guys i know you love macs, but what do you think about the new microsoft surface studio 2

[@kapturebenoit8173]

Spot Healing Brush Tool is my tool to go first... Pscc should concentrated their effort to even make it better.. This tool is so useful.

[@Shaanyar]

Hey Aaron 😍 you look like "Jonny Deep" with this style 😄🤗😍

[@back2lay]

Your wacom tablet still works?! Mine has gone pear shaped since the last round of Adobe updates. On wacom's website it says they are still trying to find an answers to the problems people are having.

[@torinux4980]

So Adobe finally took a shot at Affinity Photo content aware tool. I don't think Adobe has what it takes to make me go back to Photoshop. But I'm glad that Adobe fans are getting more cool stuff :)

[@MikesVoyagesAndDrives]

Bet you would get the same result with the birds if you wouldn't select the whole area with the lasso but select every single bird seperately using the add selection option and then use the content aware fill tool to remove all selected areas (old or new should work).

[@ThoughtFission]

Would be good to see you use the new tool on your old photo you used in the "Remove Anything" video from June 2014 to see the difference.

[@DJKNKT]

Hello. Love your channel. I’ve noticed that you use the Wacom tablet with your Mac. I bought a tablet because of your channel and how much you swore by them. I love mine tremendously but since DAY ONE, I’ve had problems with the tablet not switching to apps correctly, and/or remembering my settings. But, when I plug it up to a PC, it tends to work better. Just curious, have you ever had those kinds of issues with your Wacom tablet? And if so, how did you fix it? I’ve been contacting their support for a couple of weeks now and they haven’t seemed to be able to fix it. Just curious, Thanks! Troy

[@eddybax1]

Shop till you drop!

[@terencekearnsphotography1564]

Need to do one on content aware scale as it is confusing now and does not work as before.

[@mukeshrawal8537]

Phlearn, can you do the Photoshop 2019 full tutorial..? What's new inside.

[@AzuRaLiiGHT7]

I need to open Content aware fill in the fill options + I don't have the option to have a green area.

[@imjody]

10:00 - Is the problem here not the fact that you're telling Photoshop to try and replace the railing? You're selecting the railing with the lasso tool, which you are then telling Photoshop to try and remove. Had you of just selected the birds to remove (which is what you were trying to do) this all would have worked 100%.

[@thequantumvacuum]

Phil already knew that.

[@phlearn]

Yes, Phil is very aware.

[@actiaint]

I hope you're ok! oops - was watching at 0.75 speed (setting from a previous vid I was watching) - A very good Downey Jr of old impersonation results ;)

[@FermSingh]

someone should make a subreddit for content aware fails

[@sushimamba4281]

I screen shot the image of the girl, and by multiple selecting the birds only with the lasso they were removed using the old CA fill tool. It took 52 sec from opening document to final result.

[@vksvisionentertainment6248]

Hi Aaron It's my very humble request, Please Start Adobe premiere pro and after effects tutorials soon. Eagerly awaiting for your reply

[@oriomenoni7651]

Why for some of my image the option is greyed out?

[@DavesChaoticBrain]

K, but now get rid of the woman from the last example. ;-) The birds were easy peasy. They were just much smaller versions of the helicopter example.

[@amjadafridi5734]

Plz sir one touterl completed link on software download PS cs3 etc. Plzzzzz

[@FatehMuhammadRaja]

wow thats awesome but we still have cc18

[@subclash]

That was not very smart... you need to tell the program which information it should use. The whole picture is a bad choice. And also you should decrease the radius around the birds a bit.

[@jcgbtv9444]

You look like tony stark (Robert downey) when you zoom out.

[@heatherhottiman6338]

Phlearn can you teach us how to do nice morps for secondlife avatars to a human photo

[@CreativeForcePro]

[@hidroman1993]

Video starts at 7:00

[@TheRayInPV]

If you would have just selected the birds without the rail it would have been better. Content Aware doesn't know you just want the birds gone.

[@hidolfadler2309]

✔👌👍

[@MrDammed1]

you totally look like the appletini drinking version of robert downey jr. #nohate

[@Trancilian]

Why is Tony Stark teaching me Photoshop?

[@gundamizer4352]

hahah you reminds me tony stark. but nice video.

[@sgtv1229]

wait a minute!!! did they film on a green screen? i think so...

[@Jon4as]

I think the tool would have worked better, if the sample would have been just the railing

[@ksmgmedia]

I like your beard

[@vexphoto]

Phlearn on your intro, could use a bit of kerning.

[@armandoprieto3252]

Why do you hate birds? Birds are part of nature.

[@UncleJimsBand]

lol

[@Nagria2112]

But the helicopter looks cool =(

[@29chhangte]

Lip sync 2018 (2019) @ 2:16 .. 😉

[@WheatMillington]

This video pretty much demonstrates why I don't use this tool. You can do a better job, faster, doing it manually.

[@zaki5406]

Facebook is down

[@josephatkinson1132]

Zaki Good

[@mariaaaxotiny]

Does he kinda look like Tony Stark in this video or it's just me?

[@WanderFeetChronicles]

lol better without the light. Moody. Haha

[@TheJwwinter]

The content aware for birds was a really bad example.

[@alexstava]

manually is better

[@mnadeem7958]

are you in anyway related to Robert Downey ???

[@googlepromotion]

He says "content aware" 48 times... I think

[@JorgeRodriguez-ro9zj]

Long time no see. How can I disable all the make up in your face? It distracts a lot

[@aguilar897972]

1st

[@hidolfadler2309]

enough!

[@lightingbryan]

Ummm. The video was well done except the examples and the choices of what to remove made this video fail. Of course the spot brush works better, because you choose to work on items that best work for small or easy items (you even mentioned this a dark helicopter on a light sky). I would pull this video because it's misleading to those who are learning. The tool was used in the wrong way and it's embarrassing to be honest. But the guy did do a good job and it was well made. Just the wrong use of the tool.

[@lightingbryan]

Or you could have at least shown examples where it works better then other tools. Good luck using the spot brush around lots of texture and patterns when the object is large. It often pulls samples from weird places. Such as when you are spot healing hair and it pulls samples from an eye and you give the person a third eye. Haha
