Remove objects with Photoshop Generative Fill

Demo summary
The user demonstrates how to select and remove a hand from a product photo using Photoshop's Generative Fill and the Object Selection tool to isolate the product.
Step-by-step
- Crop the image to focus on the product bottle.
- Use a selection tool to select the hand and fingers, staying close to the edges without cutting into the bottle.
- Hold Shift to add multiple finger selections to the single selection area.
- Type 'remove' into the Generative Fill contextual taskbar and click Generate.
- Review the results and click Generate again if the initial three options are unsatisfactory.
- Create a stamped layer of all visible layers using Ctrl+Alt+Shift+E (Windows) or Command+Option+Shift+E (Mac).
- Use the Object Selection tool to select the bottle on the new layer.
- Apply a layer mask to isolate the bottle and hide the background.
Options
- Use the Remove Tool instead of Generative Fill for object removal.
Watch out for
- Don't select too much of the actual product (the bottle) when selecting the hand to remove.
Tips
- Use Generative Fill over the Remove Tool as it usually does a better job and is easier to use.
- If the AI adds unwanted elements to the background, simply mask out the product to isolate it on a clean layer.
Highlights
