Photoshop: Removing People or Objects
|
One of the many popular features in Adobe Photoshop is
the ability to remove people or other objects from a photograph. Here
is how you do it:
- Select the Zoom tool.
- With the Zoom tool selected, click and drag so that a marquee surrounds
the object you want to remove. Photoshop zooms in on that image.
- Select the Pen tool.
- Select Paths on the toolbar.
- Click at short intervals until you have surrounded the object you
want to remove.
- When you get to where you started click in the box that started
your path.
- Right-click anywhere inside the path. The Make Selection dialog
box opens.
- Make sure Anti-aliased is selected. Anti-aliasing creates a nice
smooth outline around your object.
- Click OK to create a path around your object.
- Press the Delete key. Your object is gone.
- Choose Select > Deselect from the menu to remove the
selection. You have removed an object from your photograph.
Now than the object is gone, you want to fill in the area
where the object was. To do that:
- Select the Lasso tool.
- Drag with the Lasso tool to create a selection that looks similar
to what would have been in the picture if the object had not been
there.
- Choose Select > Feather from the menu.
- Enter 5 in the feather radius field. Feathering will help the patch
you are creating blend into the photo.
- Click OK.
- While clicking anywhere inside the selection, hold down the Ctrl-Alt
key and move the selection until it cover the area you want to fill.
- Choose Select > Deselect from the menu.
- Repeat steps 2 through 8 until you have filled in the image.
- Right-click on the image.
- Choose Zoom Out from the menu.
You have removed the person or object from your photograph.
