My own opinion on enhancements such as this is that's a good thing. I'm very much a believer in the old adage of 'Garbage in, Garbage out' so as is the case with all editing this incredible functionality will not turn a poor image into a masterpiece; it will only serve to enhance and allow photographers/editors to work that much quicker than before.

A very welcome addition to an already fantastic piece of kit.

Oh the time this will save.

I'll believe it when I see it [on my own desktop]. That looks too good to be true, yes.

Is it just me or did Content-Aware add a bird to the upper-left of the panorama?

Yeah as Ghill stated below, that's exactly where his tool cursor stopped while he was doing the modification, and he didn't move it again after it was done.

Blimey this does look good. I would use this loads for any pano images

very powerful.. i hope its real

I went to an “exemplar based inpainting” seminar about such a technology about a year ago (somehow Microsoft rings a bell), so it's definitely legit. I just didn't think it would be implemented so quickly!

Nonetheless amazing!

Maybe it's just me, but I do see repetitions in the image created by this filter.

And I will state, it's another tool for lazy photographers. I know photogs that shoot panoramas but they make sure to shoot everything before heading back in.

I'm kind of repulsed by your statement singling out PJs: “Gone will be the days when photojournalists are caught with embarrassing patterns created by improperly using the stamp tool.”
