But to my knowledge, the newest edition of PSP does not have full "content aware" fill. It does some simple object removal, scratch and blemish repair, cloning. The types of tools that are good when you want to remove an object from a constant background. But I haven't seen the equivalent of true "content aware" on PSP... am I missing it somewhere?
I can't recall where everything is as it's not in front of me at the moment...the equivalent of the smart scaling I believe is called 'smart carver' in PSP. As to Content aware fill...I forget now where I think I saw that in PSP...I'll need to go back in there at some point and dig around but I was fairly certain I found it...I think in the same menu area where Smart Carver was located. Maybe it was right inside the Smart Carver function.
I haven't really used it in a while (content-aware fill) - I actually don't use it too often. I do occasionally find good use for the smart scaling/smart carver though - I love being able to 'squeeze' a photo together, pushing distant objects close to eachother and eating up only the blank spaces between them - it's quite fascinating to watch as things just get closer and closer with no notable adverse effect on the rest of the shot. I remember when I first tried that in Photoshop CS5 and thought it was fascinating technology. When I upgraded to PSP X4, I found they had added it as well.
Photochick - I'll give you that on the differences between the two systems - I find for photo editing even at the advanced level that there are almost no tools missing and both are comparable, however I have rarely delved into digital art so I very well might not know of the equivalence of the two systems for that type of work. I've always been into photography, but not so much into graphical or digital art (I'm more a 'capture' guy than a 'create' guy!).
