To remove an object in Photoshop Elements 11, you'll primarily use the Object Removal tool within the Guided mode. Here's how:
-
Select Guided Mode: Open your image in Photoshop Elements 11 and switch to the Guided edit mode. This simplifies complex tasks.
-
Navigate to Object Removal: In the Guided mode panel, find and select the Basics category, then choose Object Removal.
-
Brush Over the Object:
- From the right panel, choose the Brush Tool.
- Carefully paint over the entire object you want to remove. Adjust the Brush Size slider to suit the size of the object you're removing and the surrounding details. It's crucial to completely cover the object.
-
Photoshop Elements does the rest: Once you release the mouse button after brushing over the object, Photoshop Elements will analyze the surrounding area and automatically fill in the selected region, effectively removing the object.
-
Refine (if necessary): If the initial result isn't perfect, you can experiment with different brushstrokes or try using the Spot Healing Brush for minor touch-ups.
By following these steps, you can seamlessly remove unwanted objects from your photos in Photoshop Elements 11.
