Remove objects in photos with Photoshop
What is content recognition?

One of the great advantages that Photoshop has is that we can use it to remove objects from photos without any kind of problem. Best of all, achieving this is too easy and above all, very fast. The only thing to keep in mind is that, for best results, ideally the image should not have too many objects close to the one we want to remove..

Photoshop is a powerful tool that allows us to create animated GIFs, add a border around any text for an amazing effect, remember an image in a circle, and many other very useful things when it comes to photo editing.

Remove objects in photos with Photoshop

Obviously, the first thing we will have to do is open the photo that we are going to use, we can do this from the File menu in the upper left corner or by dragging the photo to the program..

Once we have the image open in Photoshop, we need to duplicate the photo and make the changes to the duplicate. This is ideal because if we make a mistake editing it, we can delete the duplicate and the original will remain intact. How do we duplicate it? Simply, we will press Ctrl + J and we will see in the Layers section that an identical one has been created.

Now we will have to use the Lasso tool, we can click directly on it from the toolbar on the left or press the L key..

Once we have the tool selected, we will keep the left mouse click pressed and draw around the unwanted object. We will have to draw around the image until both ends meet and keep it as close to the image as possible without cutting any part of it.

Next, we're going to head over to Edit and Fill. Alternatively, we can press the keyboard shortcut Shift + F5.

A new window opens with the fill options, in the first drop-down menu we will have to choose Content-Aware (According to the content).

Now Photoshop will process the image and the object we have marked will disappear, leaving it really flawless.

What is content recognition?

Content Recognition or Content-Aware is an editing tool used to remove unwanted objects in photos. It is a padding option that fills in the space that allows something to be removed. Basically, it removes the marked place and wraps the content around it to make it look like the environment.
