You can remove an object in Photopea using the Spot Healing Brush tool. This tool allows you to paint over the unwanted object, and Photopea will automatically replace it with surrounding content.
Here's a breakdown of how to use the Spot Healing Brush:
-
Select the Spot Healing Brush Tool: Locate the Spot Healing Brush tool in the toolbar. It often looks like a bandage icon.
-
Adjust the Brush Size: Adjust the size of your brush so it's slightly larger than the object you want to remove. You can do this using the bracket keys (
[and]) or by adjusting the size in the tool options at the top of the screen. -
Paint Over the Object: Click and drag the brush over the object you wish to remove. Ensure you completely cover the object with the brush stroke.
-
Release the Mouse: Once you release the mouse, Photopea will analyze the surrounding area and automatically fill in the painted area with a blend of the nearby textures and colors, effectively removing the object.
Tips for Best Results:
- Work in Small Increments: For larger objects or complex backgrounds, work in smaller strokes rather than trying to cover the entire area at once. This can lead to a more natural and seamless result.
- Pay Attention to the Surroundings: The Spot Healing Brush works best when the surrounding area has similar textures and patterns.
- Use Layers: Consider duplicating your background layer and working on the duplicated layer. This allows you to easily revert to the original image if you're not satisfied with the results.
- Cloning (Alternative Method): For more precise control or when the Spot Healing Brush isn't delivering the desired outcome, consider using the Clone Stamp tool. This tool lets you manually sample an area and paint that sample over the object you want to remove. It requires more skill and patience but offers greater accuracy.
In summary, the Spot Healing Brush is the quickest and easiest way to remove objects in Photopea. Experiment with the brush size and technique to achieve the best results for your specific image.
