                   Content Aware Move Tool

                  Content Aware Move Tool is one of the best retouching tools that allows you to move

                  an object in an image to a different location and Photoshop automatically takes care of
                  the area left behind. It also helps to duplicate, expand, rotate and contract objects in an
                  image. The steps to use the Content Aware Move Tool are:

                  Step 1:  Open an image in which you need to move an object from one place to another.

                  Step 2:  Select the Content Aware Move Tool from the Tools panel.

                  Step 3:  Make  a  rough  selection around  the  object you  want to move. Ensure that  the
                           selection is not too close to the object's edges to allow Photoshop to blend the
                           background seamlessly.


                  Step 4:  Click and drag the object to the new location and drop it. Photoshop automatically
                           manages the blank area by replacing it with the surrounding/background area and

                           merging the object in the new area.

                  Step 5:  Press Ctrl + D to deselect the selection.
                                                                                           Soft Hint
