There are multiple ways to delete unwanted images in a photo. Use these simple techniques to get
rid of figures, trash or telephone wires in your image!

Method 1:
Use the lasso tool to select what area of the photo you would like to get rid of.

When you have selected the area, click delete, OR Edit >Fill.

A box will appear. Use: Content Aware. Keep opacity at 100% and
hit OK. Photoshop will fill in the area based on the pixels surrounding the area you
have lassoed.

Method 2:
In this technique, you will simply select the spot healing brush (band aid)
icon from the tool bar.

Choose a brush size to scale of the area you want toerase, and brush over the space.

The spot will disappear and hopefully match the surrounding area.

Method 3:
Now you can try the Patch Tool (found under the spot healing brush tool).

With the patch tool selected, Click and hold to draw a circle or appropriate shape
around the area you want to get rid of.

When the area is selected, drag it over what area you would like to fill in the area
you are getting rid of.

Method 4:
Select the Clone Stamp Tool from the toolbar.

Hold down the option key and click and area to select that you want to stamp/clone over the area
you want to get rid of.

Then, paint over the problem area- choose a brush size that makes sense...notice surrounding parts
of the cloned area can also make their way into what you are stamping!
