How Do You Photoshop Someone Out of a Photo?

Last updated on January 24, 2023 @ 2:23 pm

In Photoshop, the process of removing an object or person from a photo is typically referred to as “clipping.” Clipping is a relatively simple process that can be completed in just a few steps:

  1. Open the image in Photoshop.
  2. Create a new layer.
  3. Using the Clone Stamp tool, sample an area of the image next to the object you want to remove.
  4. Click and drag the Clone Stamp tool over the object you want to remove. As you do this, the area you sampled in Step 3 will be copied over the object.
  5. Continue until the object is completely covered. You may need to sample different areas of the image to get a good match.
  6. When you’re finished, merge the two layers together.

And that’s it! With a little practice, you can master this technique and use it to remove objects from photos with ease.

PRO TIP: If you are considering using Photoshop to remove someone from a photo, be aware that there are potential risks involved. The person in the photo may not want to be removed and could take legal action against you. Additionally, the process of removing someone from a photo is often complex and time-consuming, so you may not be able to achieve the desired results.
