Question

Fill not working

Hi,

I am trying to remove a head from a photo using the lasso tool and Fill-content aware Fill (latest version of Photoshop). I can select the head with lasso tool but when I go to Edit menu the Content aware fill is grayed out. I also tried a couple other methods to get rid of the head but nothing works. I feel like I am following the instructions, but something must be wrong.

The photo is an old one that I scanned with JPEG. I converted it to PNG but that didn't help, nor did PSD.

This must be something so basic !

 

Thanks in advance,

AM

»but something must be wrong.«

How about actually showing the image in question? 

Ideally a screenshot with the pertinent Panels (Toolbar, Layers, Channels, Options Bar, …) and the menu visible?

That you saved in other formats afterwards does not undo the damage of the lossy compression. 

What are the image’s Color Mode and bit depth?

It would appear that you already deleted the head … so please undo that, make the Selection and show the Edit-menu (again with th epertinent Panels visible). 

But quite frankly I am not optimistic that Content-Aware Fill will be able to create good content to fill that area. 

 

What are the Photoshop > Preferences > Perfomance > Graphics Processor Settings?
