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

Adobe has recently introduced a new tool to the list of AI-powered features in Photoshop, and it could be considered the most significant tool to date, with the potential to revolutionize the software’s usage.

The Eraser Tool, which is currently available for preview in the latest Photoshop beta version, utilizes artificial intelligence and machine learning to effortlessly eliminate individuals, objects, or any other distractions from your photographs solely by drawing over them. Resembling a miraculous capability, the Eraser tool’s c-power will seamlessly replace undesired elements with fresh and exceedingly realistic content that seamlessly integrates into the image, eradicating any evidence of the object’s existence.

To begin with, the Erase tool eliminates the need for selecting or using complex dialog boxes. It is as simple as highlighting the desired person or object, releasing the mouse button, and observing their disappearance. Let’s explore its functionality.

Which version of Photoshop has the new Remove Tool?

At the moment, the Remove Tool is exclusively offered as a preview feature in the most recent beta release of Photoshop. However, this should not pose any significant inconvenience as the beta version of Photoshop is accessible to all users with an active Creative Cloud subscription.

How to remove objects with Photoshop’s new Remove Tool

Here is a simple guide on how to use the Erase in Photos tool to remove people or objects from your photo.

Step 1: Select Remove Tool from the toolbar

In the beta version of Photoshop, you can find the Removal Tool on the toolbar, in the same group as the Magic Brush and other healing tools in Photoshop.

To remove the “Spot Healing Brush” tool (or any previously used tool in the group), click and hold on it. Then, choose “Remove Tool” from the displayed menu.

Step 2: Adjust the brush size of Remove Tool

The Remove Tool is not a choice, but rather a cleaning tool. Simply utilize it to paint over the specific area of the object or person that you wish to eliminate.

To adjust the size of your drawing tool, you can utilize the left and right bracket keys ([ and ]) on the keyboard. Press the left square bracket to decrease the size of the drawing tool and press the right bracket to increase its size.

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

Next, proceed to blackout the body or object that you wish to eliminate from the photo. Ensure that you completely fill in the designated area with black color.

By default, the Delete tool will instantly attempt to delete the person or object once you release the mouse button.

Step 4: Release the mouse button

Please release your mouse once the brush tool has completely covered the area to be erased. The Eraser’s artificial intelligence will promptly eliminate the object.

The results may not be flawless, but overall, the Remove Tool has performed well. It can swiftly eliminate issues with ease in just a matter of moments.

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

In addition to deleting the object, the Erase tool has the ability to fix its mistakes. All you have to do is redraw over it.

In the given image, the Erase tool has introduced a detail that appears excessively similar to the adjacent original content.

Therefore, we will utilize the Remove tool to repaint that specific area.

When you click outside, the Erase tool will replace it with new content and the problem will disappear.

Tip: You can use the ‘Erase’ tool multiple times on the same area to paint until you achieve the desired result.
