Most of the time, Content Aware Fill works great, but sometimes you
get a result like this.
STEP 3.

Have no fear, we can give Content Aware some directions. Choose

Edit>Content Aware Fill (In Photoshop CC)

You will see this window. On the left is where we control what CAF
(Content Aware Fill) uses. On the right is the preview.

STEP 4.

Using the top left tool (on by default) Paint over the people.

Notice that only the green area is used to fill. It looks better, but
there is a weird outline.
STEP 5.

Using the Lasso tool, make a selection around the edges of our
person, so CAF has more edges to blend with. (Initially I could have
made a looser selection around out guy, but then you wouldn’t learn
what to do when it goes wrong).

See how much better the edges look now. If you are lost, check out
the video above, well, you really should watch out anyway as there’s a
ton of info there).

STEP 6.

To get rid of the lines in the middle, use the brush to exclude the
baseboard.

By default Output is set to new layer. This is a safe way to go incase

you need to change anything.

Click ok.
And here you can see the result, with the content aware on a new
layer.

STEP 7.

When you are happy with the result, merge the Content Are Layer
into the layer beneath. Click the top layer and Press Cmd/Ctrl+E

STEP 8.

Now, to fill in the gap, we need to move the couple on the left over.

Using the Lasso tool, make a selection around them. Keep it nice and
loose, except for the woman in blue’s shoulder, because we want that
to snug up against the woman on the far right.
STEP 9.

Wait! If you move them over, you will be left with a hole. We need to
move them and heal the hole where they were at the same time.
What to do?

Choose the Content Aware Move tool. (“Oh, that’s what its for?”
“Yep”).

Slide our selection over to the right. There are 2 of them, its ok, trust
me.

STEP 10.

Press enter and the selection will be blended into the new area and
the place where they were will be healed too.

You may still need to do a little clean up, but it’s easy.
I just used the Clone Stamp (https://photoshopcafe.com/clone-stamp-
photoshop-tutorial) to clean up. Content-Aware or healing brush,
work well too. (You are about to see healing brush in action)

HOW TO REMOVE POWER LINES

FROM PHOTOS IN PHOTOSHOP.
Here is the Las Vegas sign. I bet you didn’t realize it was covered with
power lines? Lets ex them.

This technique is so simple, you will laugh, you will cry and you will
wish you knew this before.
Choose the Spot healing brush.

Click once at one end of the power line. Hold down the Shift key and
click on the other end of the power line.

A straight black line will appear for a second.

The line will disappear, and so will the power line. Nice!

In just a couple of seconds you can remove the lines.

HOW TO REMOVE BRACES FROM

TEETH IN PHOTOSHOP
This is a super fast and unexpected way to remove braces.

After using the clone stamp tool and the healing brush, I finally
realized something about teeth. They don’t have mush detail. IN fact I
spent about 12 hours cleaning teeth last week.. in Photoshop. What
were you thinking? I’m a retoucher, not a dentist. But this is the exact
technique I use most of time on high-end work for Hollywood.

STEP 1.

Choose the Brush tool and select a small, soft edged brush.

Create a new layer.

STEP 2.

Hold Alt/Option and the brush will turn into an eyedropper. Click
close to the area you want to paint to select the color.

Paint of the braces/filling, or anything else you want to remove.

STEP 3.
Sometimes you may nice a different in shade from the top of the
tooth to the bottom.

Here is how to blend the tones.

Hold alt/Option to sample the color.

Reduce the brush opacity to 20% (The 2 key on the keyboard will do
it)

Paint over the area t blend using a low opacity (20% in this case) and
eventually the tones will even out. as shown. Remember to keep
sampling the new tone. Paint, sample, paint, sample.

Eventually it will be perfect.

Repear these steps for all the teeth and you are done. Just make sure
to zoom innice and close as you work and take your time.
I really hope that you found this video and written steps useful and
that this helps you remove things in photos and generally assists with
your retouching. If it was helpful, please tell everyone about
