How to remove an object from a photo
- Choose or drop a photo. It opens with the Heal brush selected.
- Set the brush a little larger than the thing you want gone, then paint over it. When you let go, the area is filled in.
- For areas with clear lines, such as a brick wall, switch to Clone, Alt-click a clean spot and paint. Save from Export when you are done.
Good to know
- Several small strokes work better than one big one.
- Heal works best on small and medium objects with plenty of clean background around them.
- Remove dust and speckles, under Whole photo, cleans up scanned prints in one click.
Questions
How does the heal brush work?
It searches the area around your stroke for patches that match the edges, copies them in, then blends the colors so there are no visible seams.
Can it remove a person from a photo?
Small figures in the background, yes. A large subject in front of a detailed background is hard for any tool and may need several strokes plus the clone stamp.
Is this AI? Is my photo sent anywhere?
It is a classic image-processing method that runs on your device. Nothing is uploaded.
