Step 1: Open Your Image

Select the Lasso Tool from the tool menu or press L on your keyboard. This tool allows you to draw free-form selections.

Step 3: Make a Rough Selection Around the Person

With the Lasso Tool active, draw a rough selection around the person you want to remove. This doesn’t need to be perfectly detailed, just ensure the person is fully enclosed within the selection.

Step 4: Use Generative Fill

Once you’ve made your selection:

1. Go to the Edit menu.
2. Choose Generative Fill.
3. In the Generative Fill dialog, type in Remove Person in the text box.
4. Click on Generate.

This function uses Photoshop’s AI capabilities to fill in the selected area by considering the surrounding elements of the image.

Step 5: Generation Process

Wait a few seconds for Photoshop to process the task. The time it takes may vary based on the complexity and size of the image.

Step 6: Review and Refine

Once the processing is done, review the photo to see the results. If there are any imperfections, you can use the Clone Stamp Tool or Spot Healing Brush to make corrections.

Conclusion
