How many times do you wish you could go back to a location to recompose the shot because the exposures you did get were off by just a little?
That has happened to me COUNTLESS times. Sometimes I am shooting Landscape and wish I were in Portrait. Other times my horizon line is off and straightening means losing part of my focal point. Things like this happen to everyone of every skill level no matter how long you’ve been a photographer.
Luckily, we can recompose our shot in Photoshop using some clever techniques with Content-Aware Fill and Content-Aware Crop. Never miss that perfect composition ever again… you just have to remember to use these techniques 🙂
f.64 Academy and f.64 Elite are the brainchildren of Blake Rudis. While he is a landscape photographer, he is most passionate about post-processing images in Photoshop and mentoring others.
For Blake, it's all about the art and process synergy. He dives deep into complex topics and makes them easy to understand through his outside-the-box thinking so that you can use these tricks in your workflow today!

Blake: I have and use P’Shop 2021 and am somewhate familiar with it; BUT, your Content Aware message adds more info for me as I’ve not used it previously. Thank You! Ray Valentine
What do you mean? I always get my horizons straight!! Well, almost straight.
I didn’t know that content aware did more functions than just crop. Thanks for passing this on. Great lesson.
Outstanding! Thanks as always for great information and insight.
This is a great technique that I cannot wait to use! Ever take a picture of a church, for example, and find that after you correct for wide angle distortion the top of the church gets cropped out along with the sky? I’m pretty sure this is going to solve that! Thanks Blake!
How did you get the new canvas to be transparent? Mine wants me to add a color.
Answered my own question. Unlock the background. Thanks for this video.
Thanks Blake for another great video and these techniques. No more losing part of the image while cropping or straightening a photo. Yehhhhh!!
I’ve used Content Aware Fill for cropped before but never for expanding a canvas. Great piece of information. Thank you.
Blake, this video just came at the right time for me as I ran into a very similar problem, but not from cropping, but from not paying attention to my borders. Now I can fix it.
Thanks for this wonderful tip.
