How to Remove a Person From a Photo

If you have photoshop downloaded to your system, what you need to do is follow these crucial steps to get to the desired results;

  1. Start Photoshop and open the image file from which you need to edit or remove the person/object. Once opened, you will be able to see the image in front of the main editing screen.
  2. Now enable the ‘Object Selection' tool and make sure to activate or check the box that says; ‘Object Finder'.
  3. Once everything is selected and ready, hover over the person or object that you want to remove and click to select them. This will automatically create a lining around the object/person so that you can see the particular place about to be removed.
  4. Next, go into the edit menu on the top bar and select ‘Content-Aware Fill'. A pop-up dialog box will open up with an automatically adjusted default setting. If the setting is a bit out of order, consider using an arrow scale to adjust; however, If everything is fine on default, output the result to a new layer and click on OK.
  5. Disable the selection using CTRL D (Windows) or Command D (Mac), and you are done. If you think there is still some availability of sharp areas that look odd, select the blur tool to make things secure.
