Watch the whole thing, it goes from pretty impressive to completely insane.

That's sweet
Holy shi'ite, that's cool!
They should call it the David Copperfield filter because who else would make a road disappear?

Photoshop has come a long way in the last 20 years.
I remember working in Photoshop before there was such thing as Layers. Can't wait for CS5!!
And to think all the years I spent learning film photography in the 70's and 80's.
Holy crap, me wants "content aware fill". :P
the film was photoshopped!!! I could tell by the pixels!!!! sorry, couldn't resist

I want it!..
I've been using PhotoShop since the "Space Monkey" days.
Anyone recognize that?
Hint: Not the easter egg.

I think my first copy was either version 2 or 3.
And not with a CS in front of it.

I don't know about any Space Monkey but I do remember the alien that would delete things for you in Quark. He would march out and zap stuff.
I used to work at a certain alternative publication when it first started up. I was always envious of the great programs available only for Mac at the time like Photoshop, Quark, Pagemaker, Corel, etc. I thought I'd gone to Heaven when Quark finally came out with a Windows version.
I've done some graphics stuff in the past, but that was 16 years ago for a small and specialized client base and I've been out of that loop for a looong time. That all left me behind many moons ago.
Before it was called Photoshop, the Beta name was "Space Monkey."
It worked really well on the first image, then surprisingly well on the second. With the panorama, though, it got some parts of it "right," but the upper left corner was an utter disaster area.
I could have really used content aware fill a couple of days ago when I was cleaning up an image for a web site I'm doing.

Yeah, I used to teach darkroom photography in the 80's. Another lost skill set.
Dove headlong into something called Cibachrome. Very hip at the time.

HAR! I used to create with light. So there, Pfffttt. :P
...But funny you should draw the parallel. Darkroom design is all about making the most of the least light.
I was ahead of my own curve ;)

I'm sure you could still go to Apertures and get your geek on.
There's a GIMP plugin that pretty much does the same thing:

I use Gimp on one of my Linux boxes. Didn't know there was a Window's version.
Thanks
Wow! That really works well in Gimp!

Yes, I've been using Gimp for a while now on Windows. Not a whole lot different than PS and most of the PS plugins work with it.
Edit: I should rephrase that..not a whole lot different than the last version of PS I used (5).

It's something that I have not done in a while, but I still have all of my negatives from way back when, I was a yearbook and newspaper photog at Nathan Hale from '79 to '81 and will soon be in a position that I can set up a black and white darkroom and print off pic's from then. It's funny, I have done digital and film and the people that I have taken pictures with using 35mm film love the warmth and feeling over the crispness of digital. It's exactly the same as listening to a vinyl alblum as opposed to a cd or a musician that uses a tube amp as opposed to a digital amp.
I just looked up Cibachrome, and found that it was a process using one of my favorite papers other than Agfa. I was in my darkroom one night and took a print that I had made on Kodak Polycontrast, turnend it over to make a negative on Agfa 310, processed it, dried it, and then flipped it again as a negative onto another Agfa 310 and made a print that was just black and white. There were no greys or transitions, it was black and white. There was definition/transition between the black and white, but it was something that the other photogs had never done.
The gimp plugin shown started with the first photo almost finished. It only removed the tree, not the trash, poles or lens flare. Makes me wonder if it can only work on larger items.
Okay, was playing around with cs5 and after about 20 minutes I took the top portion of this photo and made the lower portion
