Content-Aware Fill is that idea's logical extension, letting you excise certain elements while preserving the image's background. Sound familiar? It should- Photoshop CS4 ($700 - $1,000 street, ) added Content-Aware Scaling, so you could resize images to reduce dead space, but preserve the content you cared about.
