Replace distractions with Remove tool

Learn how to replace distracting regions in your image using Remove tool in Photoshop

Work with Remove Tool
Use Remove tool to remove unwanted areas in your image by brushing over or around them.

  1. Select Remove tool   from the toolbar. If you can't find it, select and hold the Spot Healing Brush tool to reveal other related tools, and then select Remove tool.

  2. In the Remove tool options bar, use the Size field to choose a brush size slightly larger than the area you want to fix so you can cover the entire area with one stroke.

  3. (Optional) Turn on Sample All Layers in the options bar to sample data from all visible layers.

  4. (Optional) Turn off Remove after each stroke to allow for multiple brush strokes before applying the fill. Use multiple strokes for large or complicated areas. Keep Remove after each stroke enabled to apply the fill as soon as you complete a single stroke.

  5. Brush over an area you want to remove or use the brush like a lasso to loop around an area to remove.

    
When using the brush like a lasso:

    • The loop will be closed automatically if the endpoints are close enough.
    • The overlay will be updated to show that the entire looped area will be removed
    • To remove an area in the corner of an image, you don't need to loop around the entire corner. Simply brush from one edge of the image to the other.
