When using content aware scale, you can select a channel to protect. But this video shows a feature where you can select an area to remove instead.
Is this feature present in CS6 somewhere? It looks like a very useful tool, and quite different effect than just a fill.

*ignore "feature removed" in the title, more likely it was never implemented

Not sure what your asking. Can you be much more specific?

There is no "Content aware resizing", "re-targeting", or "seam-carving" feature in Photoshop.

Content aware fill removes selected areas. Content aware scale allows you to stretch images.

Yes, content aware scaling is just another term for resizing afaik

The video shows a little about how the process works. The protect feature, as you know, will prevent an area from being changed when it is resized.
At 3:42 and 4:10 it shows a different function where an area can be marked for removal upon resizing, which has a very interesting effect.

What you're seen in that video was not done in Photoshop

Adobe Systems acquired a non-exclusive license to seam carving technology from MERL,[SUP][4][/SUP] and implemented it as a feature in Photoshop CS4, where it is called Content Aware Scaling.[SUP][5][/SUP] As the license is non-exclusive, other popular computer graphics applications

Thanks Ged! The thought had not occurred to me that the OP may have been under the impression that this was a Photoshop video. I wrongly assumed that they understood that it was not. In hindsight, the way they worded the post actually makes me certain that your right.
