Its amusing people think that tick box is going to perform some kind of miracle like on tv shows where they magnify the reflection of a killer in a shop window on a cctv photo and suddenly have a pixel perfect picture of the bad guy. Do you think Scotland Yard have upgraded to CS5 yet?
So can someone explain why Willis' hasnt worked?
Because Dennis and Asim and Simulator are all making decent sized selections. With what I would have thought is less patching data for the algorithm. The sky should be an easy one for it to handle and yet its using the clouds as the patch?
Just tried it and as you can see its done a amazing job

That video shows exactly how good content aware can be!! And is also a good example of using it in the correct circumstances, ie a fairly random patterned background.
As with any tool in Photoshop, it takes time to learn exactly what the tool can do and then it takes good judgement by the user as to which tool is correct for the job in hand!
