Out the magic in the new remove tool.
Want rid of the person in the ballroom?
Done.
Need to fix the walls and everything?
No problem, just paint.
How about person crossing the street?
What about the shadow?
Got it.
Let's get rid of some cars, some signs.
Let's get the cars on the other side of the street.
Extend the sidewalk, no problem.
How about a flying car?
Let's get rid of the wheels, the arches.
Done.
This is the magic and the new remove tool inside of Photoshop.
Right now, I'm going to show you how to use it.
I'm going to show you the settings and I'm going to show you how you can get it because
it's not going to be in your version of Photoshop.
It's only in the beta.
Let me show you how to get the public beta right now.
The first thing you want to do is open up your Creative Cloud library.
If you look on the left hand side, you'll see Beta apps, and there's the Photoshop beta.
It will just see an install button like we see here.
Make sure you hit install, and then when you're ready, hit open.
If you want to launch it from your computer, make sure that you choose the Photoshop beta
and not the regular version of Photoshop.
Otherwise, you're not going to find this tool.
Then when you're running the public beta, what you can do is go under the Remove tool
on the left hand side where we see the Spot Healing brush, and the Remove tool is the
next tool available.
Let's look at the ins and outs of actually using this and see how good it really is.
We're going to start with this shot that I'm going to guess inspired by Abbey Road, or
at least one quarter of the Beatles here.
What we want to do is look at the options at the top.
We see sample all layers and remove after each stroke.
What we're going to do is we're going to choose sample all layers.
The reason for that is I want to work non destructively.
What I'm going to do is create a brand new layer, and now we can go and work on this
layer on the top, and it will add our adjustments and will not affect the image underneath.
I'm going to show you move after each stroke in a moment, but first I'm going to turn that
option off.
This means it's not going to apply it until I tell it to.
Let's just paint over our woman with our brush.
Now, you want to get just a little bit larger than the person.
Let's change the brush size by hitting the bracket key.
Right bracket key will make it bigger and you don't have to be perfect.
We just want to cover those areas.
Let's make it a little smaller, hitting the left bracket key, and we're going to make
it a little larger than the arm.
We've painted just a little bit larger than our person.
To apply it, all we need to do is hit the check mark or hit the Enter key on your keyboard.
Now, Photoshop is going to think for a second and boom, it's removed the area.
Now, we can see here that we're working on all layers.
If I hide that, you can see there's the original underneath.
Perfect.
Let's go over the top.
Now, I want to do some touch up.
Say, for example, like the shadow, but now we're going to turn on Remove After Each Stroke.
It will apply it.
Let's get rid of the shadow.
Let's just grab these areas here.
As I'm releasing, it's just quickly fixing these.
Notice how it actually reconstruct the areas around it.
One of the problems with the spot healing brush is you'll see these areas where it smudges
out the texture.
Here I can paint, and look at that, I can actually restore that texture back again.
It's doing a pretty good job on some of these areas.
Let's go in there.
If you want to clean up these, just go over it.
Now, for some of these other areas, like the car over here, it looks like we've had a little
bit of a problem, some weird stuff going on.
We can actually just repaint over these areas and just let the AI just go ahead and do its
thing.
In this situation here, it's getting some pretty interesting looking artifacts, so it's
not necessarily perfect, but we could just want to get rid of those cars.
We could just paint and it will do a pretty good job of that.
What I want to do now is I want to zoom in on here and let's see if we can get rid of
these little weird artifacts in some of these areas.
And this is where the brush works.
You want to get really small for these artifacts because otherwise, we would just remove the
whole line.
Look at that.
And it just reconstructs those lines.
And because this is working on a separate layer, you can mask back some of the areas
if it's struggling with them.
But so far, I think this is working pretty well.
It's not perfect.
I'm just going to paint directly onto the image this time, so sample all layers will
turn it off.
If you wanted to get rid of, say, the stop sign or the writing, look at this.
Look how quick and easy that is.
This is actually doing pretty perfectly right now.
I missed it there.
So sometimes it messes up and you just go over it again and look at that, and it's pretty
perfect.
Let's see if we can get rid of the stop sign here.
Look at that.
Could you imagine doing that with the healing brush?
Wow, look at that.
Even recreated the manhole cover behind it.
Let's go over here.
Or is that a person hole cover?
No, I don't know.
Let's go and get rid of the stop sign.
Yes, boom, just like that.
Let's get rid of this poll.
All right, what about this poll?
Sign.
That looks a little weird.
Let's just paint down there and let it do its thing.
Get the shadow.
What we're going to do is I'm going to turn off Remove each Stroke.
We want to do sample all layers so we can work on a brand new layer.
Now, the advantage of working on the new layer too is it enables us to keep that smart object.
And we're going to get a larger brush and let's just paint over the wheels quickly.
And we're just going to hit that little check mark to apply it.
Once again, if I have apply after each stroke, as soon as I lift my brush, it would just
apply it automatically.
In this case, we're just going to paint these areas out so we can do several at once.
Probably get rid of the license plate too, just for fun.
Why don't I see if I can get rid of the wheel wells?
We'll do all of this in one go.
Let's get rid of the wheel wells on here.
We're just going to apply it.
Not bad.
Let's remove after each stroke now and let's just paint along the bottom and see if we
can reconstruct that.
Look at that.
That's pretty amazing.
It literally built that shape for us.
If I want the bumper back, let's get back there.
What about the door lines?
Let's get rid of some of these door lines.
You can see, even though this feature is still in beta, it's working pretty well.
It's not perfect yet, but it's certainly a lot faster than using the clone stamp or the
healing brush or anything like that.
I think in the future in Photoshop, this is what we're going to be using.
I don't think it's using Adobe Firefly technology yet.
I might be wrong.
Let me know in the comments underneath if you know, but I do know that in the future,
that's the thing that Firefly is going to be able to do.
And we're going to be able to do the selections, right click and say, Hey, I want a bus here
instead of a car.
We've seen that for some of the demos on the Firefly site.
If you want to know more about Adobe Firefly, check out this video I created over here.
If you haven't yet subscribed, do that, turn on notifications and drop a comment, let me
know what you think.
Until next time, I'll see you at the Cafe.
