Want to get rid of your daughter's ex-boyfriend in that group shot? Just draw a line on him in
the photo, push the image's edges closer together, and he's history. Couldn't get your feuding
coworkers to stand close together for the holiday party photo? No problem—you can easily
remove the empty space between them.
You can also use the Recompose tool to alter the shape of a photo without cropping it. Have
a landscape-oriented photo that you wish were portrait-oriented instead? Recompose can fix
that. There are limits to what it can do, but with a suitable photo, you can just shove it into
the proportions you want, and Elements will keep everything looking perfectly normal and
not distorted.
So when do you use Recompose and when do you use Content-Aware Fill? The box on
Re-
composing vs. Content-Aware Filling and Moving
can help you decide which tool to use.
