Content aware fill for edges in LR

[tenohfive]

I'm an Elements user but have downloaded the LR5 beta and I have to say I'm really impressed with it - much as it's an adjustment in how to work. Whilst Elements is a handy but of kit when Amazon do their first offer/price drop on LR5 I'll be buying it. Anyway. I recently discovered content aware fill in Elements and I'm trying to use something similar whilst working a shot through LR5 but I can't work out how.

The part I'm trying to fill is the edges following the straightening of the image - it's a pretty substantial rotation and I'd lose too much by cropping. The healing tool won't work on the blank edges - so any idea how I'd do it?

I'd try PS clone tool and next time try to hold it more level

To be honest it wasn't really wonky - long story, but there's about a 50 degree angle of 'right.' But the LR straighten 'right' is moreso than my eye.

If I'm honest it's more about playing with it to find out what it can do, and how to do it - as I'm now an LR convert.

I've not tried the LR5 beta, but in previous versions there isn't any content aware fill stuff, for that I've always needed to go to Photoshop.

That's a pity. The new advanced healing tool actually works very well within the main picture - but rotating and cropped edges are beyond it's capabilities.
