question regarding the paint bucket tool

[n8wolz]

Is it possible to fill an area with content-aware using the paint bucket tool? i have been able to fill the exact area I would like to be replaced with a general swatch. perhaps it is possible to create a swatch which uses the content-aware filter?

any responses would be greatly appreciated.

thanks a lot

Not that I am aware of, it's only for color. Edit fill is what you need to use.

Use the magic wand tool to select an area (it selects areas the same way the bucket tool does) then click Edit>Fill or press Shift+Backspace then set "use" to Content-Aware and press ok. That'll do basicly what your asking but had 2 steps instead of 1.
