Easily remove distractions from a photo in Photoshop using advanced Content Aware Fill<\/h2>\n

In this photoshop tutorial, I’ll show you an easy way to retouch a photo and get rid of a distracting background.<\/p>\n

Here is a shot, I took of a duck taking off. I have already applied some adjustments in Lightroom, but can’t quite remove the background above the bird.<\/p>\n

Let’s fix it now.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Choose the Lasso tool<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Make a selection around the area to replace.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Press Cmd\/Ctrl+Shift to open the fill dialog box.<\/p>\n

Choose Content Aware From the Contents.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Press OK to apply.<\/p>\n

Usually, that’s all you need to do. However, sometimes you get parts of the image that you don’t want as a fill.<\/p>\n

This is the point of this tutorial, What to do when Content Aware Fill doesn’t work.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

If you don’t get the expected results, you can use advanced Content aware fill. I don’t call it advanced because I think it’s hard, its just a different set of tools that isn’t always obvious.<\/p>\n

Choose Edit>Content Aware Fill<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Now you will see a dialog box.<\/p>\n

On the left is your image with the selected area at the top left. On the right, you will see a preview of the new result.<\/p>\n

We are in Auto mode and right now the result looks the same.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

With the brush paint aware the areas that you don’t want used in the content aware fill. In this case, remove the bird and the water splashes.<\/p>\n

CAF (Content Aware Fill) will use the green area.<\/p>\n

See the result looks better, click ok.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

And as simple as that, Content aware Fill now gives us the result we want.<\/p>\n
