Can this be used to replace Photoshop's Content-aware fill as well? Or does it require some sparse sampling of the whole area that needs to be reconstructed?

You can cheat this to a limited extent using inpainting.

would be very cool to see seam carving in this.

Cool idea, liked it! Can you give some hints about the image processing you have done or what kind of trick did you use?

hi there! this looks awesome. we need something like this but for image matting. is image matting on your roadmap?

I would have thought software image processing could handle this.

Cool... Is there anyway to combine this with a seam carving approach?

They could easily solve this by blurring the background.

the use case here is really for segmented inpainting.don't like a part of an image? replace it instantly

Seems similar to image inpainting...educated guesses that can be stunningly accurate, or stunningly bad :)
