 The term "content-aware games" largely relates to photo and video editing. Content-aware is associated with Photoshop's Fill in tool, which takes an image and examines the contents to decide which part of the image needs removed or repaired (Photoshop, 2013). Moshe Guttman defines content-aware video manipulation as "video retargeting, " a process that visually alters an existing video while considering the importance of various regions (2011). Basically they preserve the experience by leaving the content but relate the video to a particular region that may be watching it. When relating to content-aware games, the same process is followed as in photos and videos. Creators take images and enhance the content or remove what is not needed to bring a more virtual experience to users. Creators can also keep the content of a video but change its targeted viewers to specific region.

Below is an image that used Photoshop's content-aware fill. Notice the pole behind the sign and then look at the second image.



The pole is now gone. Photoshop's content-aware fill kept the content of the image and simply removed the unwanted object.
