Fastest workflow to clean up job-site photos — remove license plates and background clutter?
Hi! I run a small 24/7 leak detection business in Columbia, TN, and I take photos on job sites — under sinks, around water heaters, in crawl spaces — to document the work for customers and to publish on our company website.
The photos often have distracting elements: license plates on vehicles in driveway shots, cluttered backgrounds, house numbers, etc. I want to redact license plates for privacy and clean up the backgrounds so the photos look professional.
What's the fastest Photoshop workflow for this kind of cleanup?
- For license plates (redaction, not enhancement): is it better to blur/pixelate, or cover with a solid shape?
- For removing small background clutter: Remove tool vs. Content-Aware Fill — which is quicker for batches of photos?
For reference, the kind of job-site photos I'm working with are the residential shots like the ones on our site: [Link removed by moderator]
Thanks for any tips!
