Make any object disappear with Content-Aware Fill.

Using artificial intelligence and machine learning from Adobe Sensei, the Content-Aware Fill looks for the best parts of your photo to replace your unwanted object with. Learn how to use Content-Aware fill by trying the following steps:


1. Select it:

With the Object Selection tool, hover over your object or use the rectangle or lasso tool to select what you want to remove.


2. Adjust it:

Choose Select › Modify and enter a small number of pixels so Content-Aware Fill can understand the area around the object you want to cut from the image.


3. Fine-tune it:

Open the Content Aware workspace with Choose Edit › Content-Aware Fill. From there you can preview the fill and refine it.


4. Polish it:

Once you apply the fill, you can touch up smaller areas in need of finesse with the Sampling Brush.


5. Save it:

Output your file and share your edited photo, now free of any aspects you don’t want.
