Do you ever have something in your photo that's distracting from the shot?
The easiest way to remove unwanted objects is with generative fill.
All you need to do is make a selection and Photoshop will do the rest.
Let's remove the blue bars obstructing the view of this harbor scene.
Using the Lasso tool from the toolbar, draw a selection loosely around the bar at the top.
Don't be precise.
Selecting some of the surrounding area gives better fill results and seamless blending.
You will see the contextual taskbar beneath the selection you made.
Click Generative Fill.
When you want to remove something, leave the prompt field empty.
It's the pixels within and around your selection that determine what's generated so no text information is needed.
Click generate, wait a few moments and check out the results.
Magic, right?
Look at the properties panel and click through the variations to find the best match.
If you want more options, click generate again.
Now find the layers panel on the right.
The fill you just made is on a layer above the original image which hasn't been touched.
Generative fill is great for nondestructive editing like this.
Keep going.
Remove the second bar and see how clean the final result is.
Generative fill makes quick work out of retouching.
Give it a try on your own images.
