Content-Aware Fill
The Content-Aware fill option provides the ability to automatically
generate new textures to fill a selected area. What happens is that
Photoshop randomly synthesizes similar content to fill the area
based on the source image. This is a great way to remove an object
or blemish from a scene. In some cases it completes the job in one
step; in others it offers a great jump start and can be touched up
with a little cloning or healing.
