Remove objects in photos with Photoshop's new AI-powered Remove Tool

Adobe's new AI-powered Remove Tool, now in Photoshop beta, removes people and objects from your photos faster than ever! This tutorial shows you how to use this amazing tool!

Adobe Photoshop launches Remove Tool: The ultimate AI object removal tool

Adobe just added another new tool to Photoshop's list of AI-powered features, and it could be the biggest game changer.

The Remove Tool, available for preview in the latest Photoshop beta, uses artificial intelligence and machine learning to remove people, objects, or other distractions from your photos simply by painting over them. . Like magic, the Remove Tool's AI power replaces unwanted objects with new and authentic content that blends seamlessly into the image, as if the object was never there.

Best of all, Remove Tool requires no confusing selections or dialogs. Just paint over the person or object you want to delete, release the mouse button and watch them disappear! Let's see how it works.

Which version of Photoshop has the new Remove Tool?

Currently, the Remove Tool is only available as a preview in the latest Photoshop beta. But that doesn't matter much because the Photoshop beta is available to all users with an active Creative Cloud subscription.

How to remove objects with Photoshop's new Remove Tool

Here's the basics on how to use the Remove Tool to remove people or objects from your photo.

Step 1: Select Remove Tool from the toolbar

 

In the Photoshop beta, the Remove Tool is found on the toolbar, grouped with the Spot Healing Brush and other Photoshop healing tools.

Click and hold on the Spot Healing Brush (or whatever tool in the group you used last time). Then choose Remove Tool from the menu that appears.

Step 2: Adjust the brush size of Remove Tool

The Remove Tool is a brush, not a selection tool. You just need to paint over the object or person you want to delete.

Change your brush size using the left and right bracket keys ( [ and ] ) on your keyboard. The bracket on the left makes the brush smaller and the bracket on the right makes it larger.

Step 3: Draw on the person or object you want to erase

Then paint over the person or object you want to remove from the photo. Draw the object completely.

By default, the Remove Tool will attempt to remove the person or object as soon as you release the mouse button.

 

Step 4: Release the mouse button

Release your mouse button after the area to be erased is completely covered by the brush. Remove Tool's artificial intelligence will instantly remove the object.

The results here aren't perfect, but overall, the Remove Tool has done a great job. And in a moment, the Remove Tool can remove the problem easily.

Step 5: Draw on problem areas with Remove Tool to fix them

Along with removing objects, the Remove Tool can also fix its own errors. All you need to do is paint over them.

With the example image, the Remove Tool has added a detail too similar to the original content next to it.

 

So we will repaint with the Remove Tool on that area.

When you release the mouse button, the Remove Tool will replace it with new content and the problem will go away.

Tip : You can paint multiple times with the Remove Tool on the same area until you get the desired result.
