I was recently selected as an “Adobe Influencer” and have been playing with CS4. There are a lot of amazing changes in the updated version and below is one of my favorites:Check out the “Content Aware Scale” Tool. Here is an image of my cousin with its original aspect ratio:
I am usually a full frame shooter and have significant content from edge to edge. I always hate having to crop a photo to fit standard frames (ex – 8 x 10 crop when a full frame image is 8 x 12 – bye, bye 2 inches of my image!). The brilliant technicians at Adobe came up with a tool that will intelligently crop your images analyzing which data can afford to be lost without effecting or stretching the important aspects of the image.
It took me about 1 minute to scale the image below to a frame proportioned 8 x 10. I just duplicated layer, went file – content aware square and made the crop. Powerful stuff!
One of my favorite 2008 weddings has been selected to be published in the summer edition of Modern Bride. Keisha Martin and Troy Dixon’s wedding was absolutely amazing and I look forward to sharing the images with everyone!
