How to Remove Difficult Objects in Photoshop

Photoshop has some pretty advanced automated tools for removing distracting objects from your photos, and while they can get the job done a lot of the time, sometimes, you are dealing with such a complex and difficult background that you need to take control of things. If that is the case, check out this helpful video tutorial that will show you how to efficiently and convincingly remove such objects. 

Coming to you from Aaron Nace with Phlearn, this great video tutorial will show you how to remove objects from images when dealing with a complex or intricate background. Of course, if you can avoid getting the object in your image at the time of taking the shot, that is preferable, but if that is simply unavoidable, it is possible to get rid of most things. As powerful as things like Content-Aware Fill and the Healing Brush have become, I still find myself reaching for the tried and true Clone Stamp the majority of the time or at least using it in combination with the aforementioned automatic tools. It is still a powerful and precise way to take care of such issues, so be sure you are keeping your manual skills sharp as well! Check out the video above for the full rundown from Nace.
