Like magic, the Remove Tool\u2019s AI replaces unwanted objects with new and realistic content that blends seamlessly into the image as if the object was never there.<\/p>\n<p>Best of all, the Remove Tool requires no selections or confusing dialog boxes. Just paint over the person or object you want to remove, release your mouse button and watch them disappear!<\/p>\n<p>The Remove Tool is also the perfect companion to <a href=\"\/photo-editing\/extend-images-with-generative-fill\/\" title=\"Learn more about Generative Fill\">Photoshop's new Generative Fill<\/a> because it makes it easy to clean up problems in the AI-generated content. So let's see how it works!<\/p>\n<h3>What you\u2019ll learn in this tutorial<\/h3>\n<p>We\u2019ll start by learning the basics of how to use the new Remove Tool in Photoshop to remove people or objects from your photos. Then we\u2019ll look at a couple of options for the Remove Tool. The first option lets you remove objects nondestructively, and the second makes it easier to remove larger objects or multiple objects at once.<\/p>\n<p>Along the way, we\u2019ll compare the Remove Tool with Photoshop\u2019s Spot Healing Brush to see how much better the Remove Tool really is. Plus I\u2019ll share some useful tips, including the best way to use the Remove Tool to repair or rebuild edges.<\/p>\n<h3>Which version of Photoshop do I need?<\/h3>\n<p>The Remove Tool was added to Photoshop in the May 2023 update, which brought Photoshop to version 24.5.<\/p>\n<p>You can <a href=\"https:\/\/adobe.prf.hn\/click\/camref:1100lrdjJ\/destination:https%3A%2F%2Fwww.adobe.com%2Fproducts%2Fphotoshop.html\" title=\"Get Photoshop from Adobe\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">get the latest Photoshop version here<\/a>, or use the Creative Cloud Desktop app to make sure that your copy is up to date.<\/p>\n<style type=\"text\/css\">\n.ads-middle { display: inline-block; width:300px; margin:6px 0px 24px 0px; padding-top: 16px; padding-bottom: 16px; }\n@media (max-width: 515px) { .ads-middle { margin:20px 0; } }\n@media (max-width: 480px) { .ads-middle { margin:20px 0; } }\n<\/style><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-6601556224092982\"\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\n<!-- photo effects 300x250 middle responsive -->\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle ads-middle\"\n     style=\"display:block\"\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-6601556224092982\"\n     data-ad-slot=\"4216941496\"\n     data-ad-format=\"rectangle\"\n     data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\n<script>\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\n<\/script>\n<p>Let's get started!<\/p>\n<p class=\"members-ad-top\"><a href=\"\/print-ready-pdfs\/\">Download all of our Photoshop tutorials as PDFs!<\/a><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"sub\">How to remove objects with Photoshop\u2019s Remove Tool<\/h2>\n<p>Here\u2019s the basics of how to use the Remove Tool to remove a person or object from your photo.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ll be using several images throughout this tutorial.

You simply paint over the object or person you want to remove. <\/p>\n<p>Resize your brush using the <strong>left and right bracket keys<\/strong> ( <strong>[<\/strong> and <strong>]<\/strong> ) on your keyboard. The left bracket makes the brush smaller and the right bracket makes it larger.<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-editing\/2023\/remove-tool\/resize-remove-tool-brush.jpg\" alt=\"Resizing the Remove Tool brush\" width=\"803\" height=\"509\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">Resizing the Remove Tool brush.<\/div>\n<h3>Step 3: Paint over the person or object you want to remove<\/h3>\n<p>Then paint over the person or object you want to remove from the photo. Make sure to cover the area completely.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Tip!<\/strong> Always include a bit of the background as well for the best results.<\/p>\n<p>By default, the Remove Tool will try to remove the person or object as soon as you release your mouse button. We\u2019ll learn how to change this behavior in a moment. But for now, I\u2019ll cover the entire woman and some of the background area surrounding her with a single continuous brush stroke.<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-editing\/2023\/remove-tool\/paint-over-person-to-remove.jpg\" alt=\"Painting with the Remove Tool over the person to remove from the photo.\" width=\"803\" height=\"509\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">Painting with the Remove Tool over the person to remove from the photo.<\/div>\n<h3>Step 4: Release your mouse button<\/h3>\n<p>Release your mouse button once the area is completely covered by the brush. The Remove Tool\u2019s AI instantly removes the object.<\/p>\n<p>The result here is not perfect, but overall the Remove Tool did an amazing job. And as we\u2019ll see in a moment, the Remove Tool can clean up problems just as easily.<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-editing\/2023\/remove-tool\/person-removed-from-photo.jpg\" alt=\"The person was removed from the photo using the Remove Tool\" width=\"803\" height=\"509\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">The person or object is removed when your mouse button is released.<\/div>\n<style type=\"text\/css\">\n.ads-middle { display: inline-block; width:300px; margin:6px 0px 24px 0px; padding-top: 16px; padding-bottom: 16px; }\n@media (max-width: 515px) { .ads-middle { margin:20px 0; } }\n@media (max-width: 480px) { .ads-middle { margin:20px 0; } }\n<\/style><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-6601556224092982\"\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\n<!-- photo effects 300x250 middle responsive -->\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle ads-middle\"\n     style=\"display:block\"\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-6601556224092982\"\n     data-ad-slot=\"4216941496\"\n     data-ad-format=\"rectangle\"\n     data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\n<script>\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\n<\/script>\n<h3>Comparing the Remove Tool with Photoshop\u2019s Spot Healing Brush<\/h3>\n<p>Since the Remove Tool is most similar to Photoshop\u2019s <a href=\"\/photo-editing\/spot-healing-brush\/\" title=\"Using the Spot Healing Brush to remove skin blemishes\">Spot Healing Brush<\/a>, here\u2019s a side-by-side comparison of the results using both tools. <\/p>\n<p>On the left, the Spot Healing Brush oddly chose to fill some of the area with part of the man\u2019s arm.  <\/p>\n<p>Compare that with the Remove Tool result on the right and the winner is obvious. The Remove Tool\u2019s AI did the better job.<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-editing\/2023\/remove-tool\/comparison-remove-tool-spot-healing.jpg\" alt=\"A comparison after removing the person with the Spot Healing Brush and the Remove Tool\" width=\"803\" height=\"490\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">The results from the Spot Healing Brush (left) and Remove Tool (right).<\/div>\n<h3>Step 5: Paint over problems with the Remove Tool to fix them<\/h3>\n<p>Along with removing objects, the Remove Tool can also fix its own mistakes. All you need to do is paint over them again.<\/p>\n<p>With my image, the Remove Tool added a detail that\u2019s too similar to the original content next to it.<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-editing\/2023\/remove-tool\/repeating-detail-problem.jpg\" alt=\"The Remove Tool added a repeated texture\" width=\"803\" height=\"509\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">A repeated texture that needs to be removed.<\/div>\n<p>So I\u2019ll paint with the Remove Tool over that area again.<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-editing\/2023\/remove-tool\/clean-up-problem-area-with-remove-tool.jpg\" alt=\"Cleaning up the area with the Remove Tool\" width=\"803\" height=\"509\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">Cleaning up the area with the Remove Tool.<\/div>\n<p>When I release my mouse button, the Remove Tool replaces it with new content and the problem disappears.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Tip!<\/strong> You can paint with the Remove Tool over the same area multiple times until you get the result you want.<\/p>\n<p>There's a bit more cleanup that we could do here,  but we\u2019ll see more examples as we go along. So let\u2019s move on to the next part of the tutorial and learn how to remove objects non-destructively.<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-editing\/2023\/remove-tool\/remove-tool-cleanup.jpg\" alt=\"The repeated detail is gone\" width=\"803\" height=\"509\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">The repeated detail is gone.<\/div>\n<h2 class=\"sub\">How to use Photoshop\u2019s Remove Tool non-destructively<\/h2>\n<p>In the previous example, the Remove Tool made it easy to remove the person from the photo. But there\u2019s a problem. <\/p>\n<p>In my <a href=\"\/basics\/layers\/layers-panel\/\" title=\"Learn more about the Layers panel in Photoshop\">Layers panel<\/a>, we see that the edit was made to the original image on the <a href=\"\/basics\/background-layer-photoshop-cc\/\">Background layer<\/a>, which means that the person I removed is gone forever (from the photo, anyway). <\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-editing\/2023\/remove-tool\/background-layer.png\" alt=\"The Layers panel in Photoshop showing the object was removed on the Background layer\" width=\"293\" height=\"215\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">The Layers panel showing the edit to the original image.<\/div>\n<p>The reason is that by default, the Remove Tool can only remove an object from the layer that\u2019s currently selected.<\/p>\n<p>Fortunately the Remove Tool can also work on a <a href=\"\/basics\/understanding-photoshop-layers\/\" title=\"Learn more about layers in Photoshop\">separate layer<\/a> so we can remove objects non-destructively. To see how, and for another example of the Remove Tool in action, I\u2019ll switch to my second image.<\/p>\n<p>With <a href=\"https:\/\/adobe.prf.hn\/click\/camref:1100lrdjJ\/destination:https%3A%2F%2Fstock.adobe.com%2Fimages%2Fmiddle-aged-couple-enjoying-a-caribbean-cruise-vacation-together-candid-photo-of-a-couple-holding-hands-and-walking-together-on-a-beach-with-a-cruise-ship-in-the-background%2F320817549\" title=\"View image on Adobe Stock\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">this image<\/a>, I want to remove the couple from the beach.<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-editing\/2023\/remove-tool\/second-image.jpg\" alt=\"The couple will be removed from this photo using the Remove Tool\" width=\"807\" height=\"458\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">The second photo.<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"\/photo-editing\/photoshop-image-adjustments-vs-adjustment-layers\/\" title=\"Learn more about adjustment layers in Photoshop\">Related tutorial: Using Adjustment Layers for non-destructive editing<\/a><\/p>\n<h3>Step 1: Add a new blank layer above the photo<\/h3>\n<p>To use the Remove Tool non-destructively, first add a new layer by clicking the <strong>Add New Layer<\/strong> icon in the Layers panel.<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-editing\/2023\/remove-tool\/add-new-layer.png\" alt=\"Adding a new layer in the Layers panel in Photoshop\" width=\"293\" height=\"250\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">Clicking the Add New Layer icon.<\/div>\n<p>Photoshop adds a new blank layer above the image.<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-editing\/2023\/remove-tool\/new-layer-added.png\" alt=\"A new blank layer is added above the image\" width=\"293\" height=\"184\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">The new layer is added.<\/div>\n<h3>Step 2: Select the Remove Tool from the toolbar<\/h3>\n<p>Then select the Remove Tool from the same group as the other healing tools in the toolbar.  <\/p>\n<p>Since the Remove Tool was the last tool I used from the group, I can simply click on its icon to select it.

Again make sure to cover the entire person or object with one continuous brush stroke (we\u2019ll learn how to change that in the next section) and also include a bit of the background.<\/p>\n<p>With my image, I have two people to remove. But since they\u2019re next to each other with no gap in between, I can easily cover them both with a single brush stroke.

So when that happened, I pressed <strong>Ctrl+Z<\/strong> (<strong>Command+Z<\/strong> on a Mac) to undo the stroke and tried again.<\/p>\n<p>And here\u2019s my result. The Remove Tool did an outstanding job and the edge looks good as new.<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-editing\/2023\/remove-tool\/edge-repaired-with-remove-tool.jpg\" alt=\"The Remove Tool was able to repair and align the edge perfectly.\" width=\"799\" height=\"536\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">The Remove Tool was able to align the edge perfectly.<\/div>\n<h2 class=\"sub\">One Remove Tool to rule them all?<\/h2>\n<p>After spending a few more minutes with the Remove Tool, I was able to repair and align all of the broken edges in the wall. <\/p>\n<p>But the Remove Tool was not able to fix the more complex edges on the ground where the woman was standing.
