Photoshop CC has a new retouching tool – and it’s likely to become your go-to for many retouching tasks from now on. If you want to remove something from your photo, the new Remove tool will almost always do a great job.
Simply paint over the offending details and it’s gone in a second. In our example, it lets us transform a bustling tourist snap at the famous Treasury building of ancient Petra in Jordan into a wonderfully empty scene.
Of course, it’s not quite perfect. But then what tool is? Before the Remove tool came along, we relied on features such as the Spot Healing and Patch tools. These all base their fixes on the existing content within the image. But the new Remove tool is different, employing AI to generate new pixels, so it doesn’t necessarily need to feed off other details in the image
when removing something.
Like the earlier retouching tools, it can occasionally slip up and do something funky but it’s usually a quick fix with the Clone tool or Patch tool to tidy up things. In this project, we’ll explore the key features of the tool and show you how to get the most out of this invaluable and versatile part of the Photoshop suite.
