Using the Smart Erase Tool

You can remove unwanted objects from your images by selecting or brushing them and using the Smart Erase function. Smart Erase will analyze the image and predict how to best fill in the brushed or selected area. This is based on what the image would most likely look like without the selected or brushed objects.

Smart Erase will not work as intended if you select or brush more than 25% of the image.

To Erase and Fill a Selection:

1. In Edit mode, at the top of the panel, choose a selection tool.
2. Select the area of the image you would like filled.
3. Click Select | Smart Erase. The fill will be applied.
4. Repeat steps until the desired look is achieved.

If you are using the Brush Selection tool, you must have the Strength slider set to 50 or more.

To Erase and Fill Using the Smart Erase Brush:

1. In Edit mode, at the top of the panel, select the Smart Erase Brush from the Toolbar.
2. Brush over the area you would like filled. When you release the mouse button, the fill will be applied.
3. Repeat steps until the desired look is achieved.
