How to remove objects in Photoshop

Removing a person or object from a photo using Photoshop can be as straightforward as simply using the clone or healing brush tool. Or, it can be a lot more complex with a need for multiple tools and techniques. Whatever the situation, there are a few key things to look out for that will help you achieve the most natural looking result.

While quick-fix tools such as Content-Aware Fill or the Patch tool offer speedy solutions, often you’ll find they leave traces of tell-tale signs that something is missing from the image. Perspective, colour and light are three key elements to consider when working in Photoshop, as each of these is a clear sign that something has been removed or changed in an image. These are covered throughout the video, where you’ll see Karl use techniques such as Curves adjustments, Transform tools and brushes to achieve realistic looking results.
