Tidy up your scene in a click. Distraction Removal within the Remove tool automatically detects unwanted people, wires, and cables and deletes them — no need to manually brush over them.
Decide how you want to use generative AI when using the Remove tool. You can always use it, never use it, or set it to be used automatically when it’s the most effective option for removal.
Use these tips to refine your edits for the best results when removing an object from a photo. Minor adjustments and the right settings can help you achieve a seamless look.
Adjust the brush size. A smaller brush works better for intricate areas, while a larger brush speeds up removal for bigger objects.
A photo eraser, like the Adobe Photoshop Removal Tool, can seamlessly remove unwanted elements from your images. Whether you’re cleaning up distractions or refining your composition, here are some ways to use object removal:
Removing people from photos, especially in busy places like tourist attractions, parks, or events, can transform an ordinary snapshot into a clean, professional-looking image. Whether you’re trying to capture a crowded landmark or erase someone from a group picture, AI-powered tools in Adobe Photoshop make it easy to edit your photos.
If you’re dealing with a background full of tourists, use the Removal Tool or Content-Aware Fill to erase individuals in open spaces. Try working in smaller sections for more complex edits rather than attempting to erase an entire group at once.
For a more natural look, you may need to refine your edit using the Clone Stamp Tool or Healing Brush to blend textures. You can also manually sample nearby areas to recreate missing details more accurately.
With some advanced planning, you can take multiple shots from the same angle and stack them with Auto-Align Layers. Use layer masking to remove people across different frames.
If you want to remove a specific person from an event photo, zoom in and carefully erase them in sections. Pay attention to shadows, reflections, and interactions with objects in the scene to ensure a natural result.
With the right tools and techniques, Photoshop makes creating the perfect, distraction-free photo easy.
Erasing objects from the foreground and background can instantly improve a photo’s composition, making it cleaner and more visually appealing. Removing distractions like a trash can in front of a scenic panorama or a beach towel disrupting the perfect shoreline will help create the perfect image.
Foreground distractions, like objects near the camera, often require extra attention to lighting and shadows to ensure a natural result. Background clutter, like distant signs, poles, or litter, can be easier to remove, especially if they blend into the surroundings.
Paying close attention to textures and patterns will help maintain a seamless look so the final edit feels like the object was never there.
Removing elements from the sky, such as power lines, birds, planes, or even unwanted clouds, can help create a cleaner, more striking image. Since the sky often has smooth gradients and subtle color variations, it’s important to maintain a natural blend when editing.
Large or complex objects, like power lines, may require multiple edits using a combination of the Removal Tool, Clone Stamp, or Content-Aware Fill to ensure even blending.
For best results, zoom in to check for any unnatural smudging or color shifts, and if needed, use a soft brush to refine edges. A clean, open sky can make a big difference in your photo’s overall balance and impact
Generative AI tools powered by Adobe Firefly, like Generative Fill, make removing unwanted objects or people from photos easier than ever. Use AI to remove object from photo quickly and efficiently, even in complex backgrounds.
