Remove complex objects using Generative AI in Photoshop

Demo summary

The video shows how to remove a photobomber from a portrait by enabling the Generative AI option within the Remove Tool to reconstruct complex backgrounds.

Step-by-step

  1. Create a brand new layer to work non-destructively
  2. Select the Remove Tool from the toolbar
  3. Enable the Generative AI option in the top settings bar
  4. Ensure 'Sample all layers' and 'Remove after each stroke' are checked
  5. Use the square bracket keys to adjust the brush size
  6. Loop the brush around the subject you wish to remove

Options

  • Turn Generative AI off for simpler, faster removals
  • Toggle 'Remove after each stroke' on or off

Watch out for

  • Generative AI takes more time to process than the standard removal tool

Tips

  • Use Generative AI for complex backgrounds where standard removal looks 'crazy bad'
  • Work on a separate layer to maintain flexibility and keep the original image intact

Highlights

this time it's going to take a little more time but the results are going to be so much better
