Photo Tip of the Week: How to Remove an Object from a Photo with the Heal Tool

There are several ways to remove an object from a photo and the method you choose to use depends on the complexity of the image and the tools you have available. 


One super easy way is to use a Heal Tool in a photo editor. 


See the plastic cup on the beach? 

Poof, it’s gone! We removed it in one easy click with the Heal tool in PS Express. 


The Heal tool is a content-aware fill tool that automatically removes objects from a photo. This tool analyzes the surrounding pixels and fills in the area with similar colors and textures.


  • Open the Heal tool (the band-aid icon) and select your settings to remove the object.

  • Click on the object you want to remove and completely draw over it with your finger.

  • The editing app will analyze the surroundings and remove the object.

It’s that easy!


Remember to always make a duplicate of the original photo before making any edits, so you can go back if needed.


Have a great weekend!
