 Well, everybody, welcome back to another Adobe Photoshop 2022 tutorial. In this one, I'm going to show you how to delete objects or remove objects from an image. And I'm going to show you how to do it using content aware fill. And in particular, I'm going to show you some techniques to remove images that are not easy to remove. If you have a blank background and you've got a square against it and you want to delete it, it's very, very simple. But if you want to delete something that has a very tricky background or is close to other objects like this one, we've got a bulldog. We've got some treats, which bulldog is very clearly interested in. We've got some coffee. I don't think the bulldog drinks coffee and we've got a notepad and a pen. I don't think this dog can read. I don't know. I don't think it can write either. I don't know. I don't know these things, but we'll see. Anyways, let's get rid of this pen and notepad and we're going to do it. And we're going to do it really, really well. So let's get going. The first step here, if you're following along, got the image loaded up. The second step is you want to go to your lasso tool and click on that. And now I'm going to draw a very rough, very rough outline of what I'm trying to delete. And you'll see here that I'm going outside the edges and that's very, very much on purpose. Oops. I didn't want to do that, but okay. So there's our selection. I let go, I'm going to hold down the shift key and now I'm going to draw a selection around here as well. So that just adds to it. So, okay, that looks pretty tight in there, which is what we want. And off we go. Okay. So this standard method and one that you might be used to from versions past, you go up to edit, you go to content, you go to fill, then you left click on content aware, and this will do it automatically. But that's not what we want in this case. In this case, we want to go ahead and just make sure that we select only from the table. We don't want the content to where filled to think about these cookies and this copy and the Bulldogs very, very handsome or very, very cute ears. So how do we do it? You go to edit and then we go instead of going to fill, we go to content aware fill. All right, you're following along with me. When we do that, you're going to see some cool stuff going on here. You're going to see the green paint and here is where it gets interesting. If you look very closely, I'll hover over here. You're going to see that there's a minus sign inside of that circle. So what we want to do is we want to left click and minus out things that we want Photoshop not to consider. So when it's considering filling in this area with the notepad and the pen, it really doesn't need to think about the Bulldog at all. I mean, the Bulldog is beautiful. Don't get me wrong. And I have one myself, but these are areas that don't need to be considered. So as you'll see here, I'm just painting over it with the brush tool here. And I'm just going to remove these parts because I don't want that being considered for the section that's going to be filled. All right, I'm going to remove the cookies, too, because that doesn't make a whole lot of sense. And what I'm basically doing is I'm just taking out the bits and pieces that I don't think Photoshop should put in its consideration set for what to replace this area with. So what to content fill it with. So I've deleted that out. And all that's left now is basically what's the table. So when it does its computation now, it's just going to see the table. So I'm going to go ahead and take a quick quick zoom in here. And you'll see that this is actually looking very good, because this is giving you a preview of what's going to happen. And it is considering none of the Bulldog's face, hair, ears, all that stuff. I'm left clicking on OK. And it is now going to make the calculations. It could take a few seconds. And if it does take a few seconds, hey, don't worry about it, you're going to see it in real time. Come on, Photoshop, you got this. I think you got this, Photoshop, Photoshop, you got this. Photoshop, take you don't know rush. I got all day. Look, this Bulldog, get that dog is treats. OK, I'm going to have to come back and post. I'm going to have to let this process. Sorry about that. OK, welcome back. If you guys want to know how long that took. My wife had two kids while it did that. And you're going to say, Curtis, I didn't know you were married. I wasn't. I got married and she had two kids while we did that. Anyways, no, it took a few minutes there. But anyways, when you look at it, it looks pretty good. Now I'm going to go to select, deselect and presto. We got rid of the pen and the paper or the pad in the paper. It looks like it's supposed to look. That is how you use content to where Phil like a champion. Guys, thanks for watching this tutorial. I have a ton more stuff coming up. Stay tuned.
