MaxKøngerskov Posted December 10, 2016 Share Posted December 10, 2016 Photoshop has a very nice feature called content aware crop, it basically fill in the empty space of a cropped image with the image itself (don't ask me how they do it) but I want that in my newly purchased Affinity Photo on Windows 10. These features are so nice, so nice we need to have them aswell. Your customerMax Køngerskov ashf 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Staff Patrick Connor Posted December 10, 2016 Staff Share Posted December 10, 2016 We typically no it's a bit if a gimic that very rarely has a use in the professional sphere. It would take a long time to write and perfect, and be a wow in marketing videos, but is there a real world case where you have found it useful on your own real world photos?

Peter Werner Posted December 10, 2016 Share Posted December 10, 2016 I wholeheartedly agree with Patrick. Both Content Aware Crop and Content Aware Move in Photoshop are utterly useless because they don't work on separate layers. Even with Content Aware Fill, I always do a Stamp Visible, select the areas I want to fill, perform the fill, then Cmd+J the generated areas to a new layer and then delete the Stamp Visible layer. For extending images, I always do that manually, using a combination of different tools, from clone stamp to content aware fill to copying image regions to generating portions with their seam carving resize tool. The automated version almost always requires manual adjustment, and having the result baked into the image like Photoshop's Content Aware Crop does is counterproductive. It's pretty much just Adobe adding a useless new button in a different place for the Content Aware Fill feature that has already existed for ages.

Lojza Posted December 18, 2016 Share Posted December 18, 2016 Actually, "content aware" crop and "content aware" artboard resize make a big sense in both Affinity Designer and Affinity Photo. I often find myself in need of cropping an image to its boundaries (get rid of the transparent pixels around the edge) or resizing artboard to its content (in Designer). So basically, this would be a really useful feature. Just making the "Crop" tool and artboards resize senstive (snapping) to conent would do that best.

Peter Werner Posted December 19, 2016 Share Posted December 19, 2016 "Content Aware Crop" is Adobe's terminology for a filter that applies a patchmaching algorithm that attempts to fill in transparent areas (or selections in the case of "Content aware Fill") with pixels gathered from different areas in the rest of the image with an intelligent algorithm. What you are talking about is an entirely different feature, similar to the "Edit > Crop" and "Edit > Trim" command in Photoshop. While I agree that this would indeed be a useful enhancement, you may want to refer to the discussions about this type of feature that already exist elsewhere on the forum if you want to add your vote. I really like your idea of putting that into the crop tool (for example as a button in the tool options bar) instead of the main menu like Adobe did, as it not only makes a lot of sense there conceptually, it allows the user to then adjust the crop rectangle further if need be.

Matt H Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 I'd like to +1 this suggestion. Not every tool is always useful (even inpainting or clone) -- I think seam carving can be useful sometimes. In fact, I have quite a few photos that would benefit from it. Here's a new implementation of it in Go: https://github.com/esimov/caire -- and goes to show that there is still demand for and interest in this algorithm. And remember that this isn't just for cropping: it's also for expanding, which is the part I would find exceptionally useful. Little anomalies could be fixed up with clone or inpainting tools and similar. I do hope you'll consider adding this Affinity Photo. It would make it a highly competitive feature.
