And now in Photoshop 2024, the Remove Tool is even easier to use thanks to a couple of great new features.<\/p>\n<h3>What\u2019s new with the Remove Tool in Photoshop 2024?<\/h3>\n<ul class=\"f1\">\n<li>The Remove Tool can now remove people or objects just by dragging an outline around them, so there\u2019s no need to paint over the entire area.<\/li>\n<li>The Remove Tool now includes a Subtract mode so you can subtract areas you may have painted over by mistake before removing them. I cover both of these new features in this tutorial.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Which Photoshop version do I need?<\/h3>\n<p>You\u2019ll need <a href=\"https:\/\/adobe.prf.hn\/click\/camref:1100lrdjJ\/destination:https%3A%2F%2Fwww.adobe.com%2Fproducts%2Fphotoshop.html\" title=\"Get Photoshop from the Adobe website\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Photoshop 2024<\/a> to use the Remove Tool\u2019s new features.<\/p>\n<p>If you already have a Creative Cloud subscription, make sure that your copy of Photoshop is up to date.<\/p>\n<style type=\"text\/css\">\n.ads-middle { display: inline-block;

Outline an object with the Remove Tool to highlight it<\/h3>\n<p>Back in Photoshop 2023, we needed to paint with the Remove Tool over the entire object we wanted to remove. Depending on the size and shape of the object, this could take some time. <\/p>\n<p>Here I\u2019ve painted over the entire chair and bag, plus the shadows in the sand. The areas where I painted are highlighted in magenta.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Tip:<\/strong> You can adjust the size of the Remove Tool brush using the <strong>left and right bracket keys<\/strong> ( <strong>[<\/strong> and <strong>]<\/strong> ) on your keyboard.<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-editing\/2024\/remove-tool\/paint-over-entire-object-remove-tool.jpg\" alt=\"Painting with the Remove Tool over everything I want to remove.\" width=\"798\" height=\"506\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">Painting with the Remove Tool over everything I want to remove.<\/div>\n<p>But now in Photoshop 2024, there\u2019s no need to paint over the entire area. We can simply paint an outline around the object we want to remove. Photoshop will then highlight everything inside the outline when you release your mouse button.<\/p>\n<p>So I'll drag an outline around the chair, the bag and the shadows.<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-editing\/2024\/remove-tool\/outline-object-with-remove-tool.jpg\" alt=\"Painting an outline with the Remove Tool around the objects to remove.\" width=\"798\" height=\"506\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">Painting an outline around the objects with the Remove Tool.<\/div>\n<p>I\u2019ll release my mouse button, and Photoshop highlights everything inside the outline.<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-editing\/2024\/remove-tool\/remove-tool-selects-object-automatically.jpg\" alt=\"The Remove tool highlights everything inside the outline.\" width=\"798\" height=\"506\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">The area inside the outline is highlighted.<\/div>\n<p>Then after a few seconds, because I have <q>Remove after each stroke<\/q> turned on in the Options Bar, Photoshop removes the chair, the bag and the shadows from the photo and replaces them with new AI-generated content that matches the surrounding area.<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-editing\/2024\/remove-tool\/object-removed-with-remove-tool.jpg\" alt=\"The objects have been removed from the photo using the Remove Tool.\" width=\"798\" height=\"506\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">The Remove Tool fills the area with AI-generated content.<\/div>\n<h3>Cleaning up artifacts with the Remove Tool<\/h3>\n<p>Even though the Remove Tool uses AI and machine learning, it\u2019s not as powerful as <a href=\"\/photo-editing\/generative-fill-in-photoshop-remove-people-and-objects-from-photos\/\" title=\"Learn how to use Generative Fill to remove objects from photos\">Generative Fill<\/a> and can sometimes add weird artifacts or repeating textures. So you may need to paint over some areas again with the Remove Tool to clean them up.<\/p>\n<p>Here we see an obvious example of repeating textures in the sand.<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-editing\/2024\/remove-tool\/repeating-textures-from-remove-tool.jpg\" alt=\"Repeating textures created by the Remove Tool.\" width=\"795\" height=\"533\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">Repeating textures created by the Remove Tool.<\/div>\n<p>So I\u2019ll just paint over that area again.<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-editing\/2024\/remove-tool\/paint-over-repeating-textures.jpg\" alt=\"Using the Remove Tool to clean up its own mistakes.\" width=\"795\" height=\"533\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">Using the Remove Tool to clean up its own mistakes.<\/div>\n<p>And when I release my mouse button, the problem is gone.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Tip:<\/strong> You may need to paint over an area multiple times with the Remove Tool to get a good result.
