You might have seen the Remove tool by now? It’s one of the newest tools in Photoshop and it’s amazing. You might have missed it because there’s been so much attention around Generative Fill in the Photoshop beta. The Removal tool is a brush that you paint over anything that you want to remove and, like magic, it just disappears, and Photoshop uses AI (artificial intelligence) to fill in the hole, as if the object was never there. It’s like Content-Aware Fill, but way better. The big tip for using this tool is to create a new layer first, and turn on Sample All Layers up in the Options Bar. Now you can use this amazing tool nondestructively.
