Imagine a beautiful photo of a beach at sunset or a snowy mountain…but there is an excavator that spoils the glory. Or maybe you took a photo of your loved one in a special place just to find unloved people who interfere with the photo. Don’t worry; you can remove unwanted objects and people from your photos thanks to some powerful Adobe Photoshop tools.

For years, Photoshop has allowed you to remove a subject from a background image, but with new AI features and tools, especially the removal tool, it’s now easier than ever. It removes a person or a thing from a photo and generates a plausible background to fill in the place where the object was.
Step 1: Find the Removal Tool
The Delete tool is located in the paving section of the left toolbar. Adjust the brush size in the options bar (at the top of the image, where it says 93) so that it is large enough to slide over The object you want to delete without too much brushing.
Step 2: Drag on The object
Once you have activated the Delete tool, drag the object you want to delete. I recommend painting the edges of the object first, then filling the entire center — and be sure to do this in one continuous motion. Note that you also need to brush outside the edge of the object, not just inside, as when selecting. Also brush the shadow of the object, if any. I had to use the tool more than once to get a convincing result with this image of a car that I wanted to remove from a street scene.

Step 3: Evaluate the result and try again if necessary
You may not get perfect results the first time, as shown below. In this matter, you can try using the removal tool again after brushing slightly different. Another option is to select the object and use edit > content-based fill, but the automatic options of this tool gave much worse results for me. However, you can choose the replacement range, so you can get better results than me.

The Adobe documentation indicates that the removal tool works with complex backgrounds. As you can see from the results, an unconvincing image was created by incorrectly filling in the double yellow road lines where the now removed car had blocked them, and parked cars that were not completely visible before do not look real at all. The removal tool is new, so it will probably improve with time and updates, and it is already better than previous similar tools.
