	abstract =	{A new method allowing for semantically guided image
	editing and synthesis is introduced. The editing process is made
	considerably easier and more powerful with our content-aware tool. We
	construct a database of image regions annotated with a carefully chosen
	vocabulary and utilize recent advances in texture synthesis algorithms
	to generate new and unique image regions from this database of
	material. These new regions are then seamlessly composited into a users
	existing photograph. The goal is to empower the end user with the
	ability to edit existing photographs and synthesize new ones on a high
	semantic level. Plausible results are generated using a small prototype
	database and showcase some of the editing possibilities that such a
	system affords.},
