Smart Eraser

Remove unwanted objects from images by selecting or brushing them and using the Smart Erase tool. Smart Erase will analyze the image and predict how to best fill in the brushed or selected area. The Smart Erase prediction is based on what the image would most likely look like without the selected or brushed object(s).

Smart Erase will not work as intended if more than 25% of the image is selected or brushed.

To erase and fill a selection:

  1. Select a Selection tool from the toolbar.
  2. Select the area of the image to be filled by the Smart Eraser.
  3. Select from the main menu Select | Smart Erase to apply the Smart Eraser.
  4. Repeat until the desired look is achieved.

When using the Brush selection tool, the Strength slider must be set to 50 or more.

To erase and fill using the Smart Erase brush:

  1. Select the Smart Erase brush from the toolbar.
  2. Brush over the area to be filled.
  3. Release the mouse button to apply the fill.
  4. Repeat until the desired look is achieved.
