Content Aware Fill Loading Issue

Hi Photoshop community, 

 

When I use the Content Aware Fill tool, sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't at all. The photos attached show the photo I want to fill and what happens when I fill it. I get a blank, green image that seems to be loading, but it never loads. 

 

Any suggestions?

Thank you,

Jamie

Hi @JamieBarmakian 

 

It appears (to me) that you were on the white background layer when you did the content aware. Can you check that?

 

The layer you want is a smart object, so you will need to either open it or rasterize it first before you use Content Aware.
