Expanding a Background with Content Aware Scaling
I was pretty blown away by the power of the content aware scaling when Photoshop CS4 was launched last year, but up until now I have not really found away to use it well. So watch and learn how to expand a background. Its so easy, its child’s play

Excellent info!
When I think of images that I’ve spent hours working on, blending bits onto the side…
Another reason to upgrade to CS4 perhaps? Probably not, I’ll wait now for the next upgrade.
Thanks again. Another great screencast.
That’s fantastic. I might just have to upgrade to CS4 for that little tool.
I use this all the time for textures as well. Its becoming a favourite!
great tip, very easy and useful. Will comeback more often to this site.
thanks a ton.
