Software Workshop: How To Remove a Person From a Photo

Use Adobe Photoshop's cloning and healing tools to make a figure disappear

Step 3



Continue to use the method from Step 2 to cover the figure: Select chunks of your image, type Ctrl+ J to copy them to their own layer, and shift them to cover more and more parts of the figure. (Sure, you could use the Clone Stamp for this process, but for bigger areas this method can be more precise and much faster.) When you need to, type Ctrl + E to merge your copied areas to the layer below. This will keep your cover-up sections together on a single layer. After a few minutes you’ll have a draft of your final image that will need quite a bit of finessing using the cloning tools.
