Question

Content Aware Fill omits color corrections

This just happened recently. Yesterday it worked well. I try to use Content aware fill on a new transparent layer. Attached you see my settings. Now, content aware doesn't integrate the color correction into the filling.  The preview looks fine, but the result changes. If I reduce everything on one layer and do the same, it works without any problems. But the biggest benefit out of this content aware is, that I don't need to reduce my layers normally. I'm using these hundreds of times every day. 

 

Thanks in advanced Marco

Hi @photocope I am sorry you don't have any replies yet. I can't duplicate the issue with the same settings (Windows 10, Photoshop 24.0.1 Release). You say you are trying to use Content Aware Fill on a new transparent layer? Is the new transparent layer being generated automatically after you apply the fill?

 

If something worked yesterday, but not today, and you haven't made any other system changes, try restoring your preferences using this manual method: https://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/using/preferences.html#Manually

 

Let us know if you are still having the same issue after this.

Thanks for your reply. The issue just appears if there are some color corrections layers. Seems like content aware doesn't recognize the color layers anymore and just fill pixels. 

 

1: random picture with 2 color correction layers. Transparent layer is empty.

2: Content aware fill. All layers

3: The result

4: Now it's getting interesting. When I turn the color correction layers off, the content aware filling match. Means the content aware filling doesn't fill with the color correction information for some reasons. 

 

I will try so reset my PS settings tomorrow. 

 

Thanks a lot for your effort. Marco

Hmmm. The user Library folder is hidden by default on macOS. If you need to reveal it, there are instructions here. Otherwise, the file name is Adobe Photoshop [version] Prefs.pspit and should be located under Users/[user name]/Library/Preferences/Adobe Photoshop [version] Settings.


I got it. Thanks a lot. I also reset the preferences but nothing changed. Content aware still ignoring the color correction layers.
