I tried the Content aware option and all it did was shrink the image layer down.

    If you happen to be on a windows machine, the extract filter from the cs5 optional plugins download should work in photoshop cs6 on the windows version.

    I tried looking for the the CS5 optional plug in but I haven't found it yet on Adobe site.  I did download a .8BF file but there is already such a file name under CS6 64 bits.

    I jumped from CS3 to CS6. I looked at the refine filter. I haven't used it before.  The Content aware filter does not do what I thought its name implied.

    Hi PhotoRoy5,

    Have you tried the Refine Edge feature in photoshop cs6 for masking?
