Photoshop Quick Tip: getting rid of unwanted object(s)

 

 

 

Hello everyone!

Today I took a picture of my cat threw my window when she was begging for food again :)

Strangely, she stared at the camera for a few seconds which gave me time to take her picture. It's great cause she's a cat that moves a lot.

So I loaded it up to my computer only to remember that there was the thermometer in the way. Having received the new photoshop cs6 only a week or two ago, I'm still learning all the new buttons and options that didn't exist on photoshop 7.

 

I wanted to share with the new photoshoppers out there, a method to get rid of something unwanted in the background of a picture: here it being a thermometer.

 

So here is Kitty, my little chubby cat:

 

 

 

So let's start!

 

1. Open your picture in Photoshop :)

 

2. Select the Marquee tool or the Lasso tool (on the left tools bar)

 

3. select the object

4. Select edit > fill

 

5. Now you can select the "contents" you want in the drop down box thingy but I just select "Content-aware"

Mode:normal

Opacity: 100%

 

 

And voila!

 

Here is my photo of Kitty after these steps in Photoshop:

 

 

So that was my Photoshop Quick Tip of the day! Keep in mind that this is the way I do it and that it's in no way the only way to do it.

 

Thank you for reading and I wish everyone a great day!
