The big deal is using a Layer Mask. Make a copy (Ctrl J) of the background image. Add a Layer Mask (the front loading washing
machine looking icon at the bottom of the Layers Panel). Mask off whatever you don't want Content
Aware Fill (CAF) to look at. Make any
sort of selection you are comfortable with.
i.e. The Loop Tool (L) or the Marquee Tool (M). This way you're preventing CS5 from
"looking" at areas that might produce false fills. Look at the center image. Part of the "R" was picked up, as
was a double part of the "0".
After making a selection of the "C", the right "R" and the "10"
and "2" you would add a Layer Mask.
This will create a Mask that "hides" those parts of the
image. Go back to the image itself (not
the Layer Mask) and select the middle "R" and the "7". Now do a Content Aware Fill on that
selection. Because CS5 can't "see"
the other letters and numbers it'll take all its information for doing the fill
from areas that are still "visible" to CS5.
In the case of today's image, the bright area at the top doesn't
come into play. Therefore there's
nothing that has to be done to that area.
If it had it would be a simple matter of adding that area to the
Mask.
The "morale" of the story to making a tricky
Content Aware Fill is to "show" CS5 only what you want it to use to
that matches up well with what you're trying to fill. Leaves with leaves, fences with fences, etc.
Try it, it'll help.
