wow.. this is soo convenient.. too gud.

I remember last time i edited a pic of mine that had a little garbage lying around that was ruining the beauty of the background hill top and the sky. I anyways cleaned it using MS paint (painful, i know!) but i ended up spending around an hour on cleaning.

Now since i know this, it would be a piece of cake. Thanks for the post!

Dears, can anyone help me to find “Content-Aware” content in Edit -Fill part, because there is no such tool in this area, and I’m not able to make correspondent changes. Where else can I find “Content-Aware” tool?
Thank you in advance!
