Photoshop CC 2023: How To Remove Unwanted People/Objects with Ai (Generative Fill)
TLDRIn this tutorial, learn how to use the generative fill feature in Photoshop CC 2023 to seamlessly remove unwanted people or objects from your photos. Start by making a selection around the subject with the rectangular or lasso tool. Then, activate generative fill, input 'remove person', and generate to see the subject vanish, with the AI intelligently filling in the background. If the result isn't perfect, you can blend layers by copying and adjusting variations. Additionally, use the remove tool to manually patch areas that need refinement. For complex cases, such as multiple people or objects, make a selection and use the generative fill with 'remove people' to eliminate them all at once. The feature offers impressive results, with the option to fine-tune the outcome using layer masks and brush adjustments.

🖼️ Removing Unwanted People in Photoshop
The video script provides a step-by-step guide on using the generative fill feature in Photoshop to remove unwanted people from photos. It begins with selecting the area around the person using either the rectangular selection tool or the lasso tool. After selection, the user is instructed to click on generative fill, type 'remove person', and then generate to see the person disappear from the photo seamlessly. The AI even replicates the background details like a lamp post. If the result isn't perfect, the user can combine two variations by copying and setting one to a variation, then using the remove tool to blend the images. The AI can sometimes distinguish between the person and other objects, but manual selection is recommended for precision. The script also covers how to use the remove tool to patch specific areas and how to convert layers to a Smart Object for editing. Finally, it demonstrates how to select and remove multiple people at once and how to use a mask to blend different variations.
