With the promotion video it seem so easy...

I select an object to remove, it only does it partially and it duplicate partially the objet close to it.

I tried to select the objet with all the tools available, same problem.

I tried the guide and expert mode with the same result.

I bought the new version because of the easyness of use.

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks, Marc

If you replace the background with the Color option, you can achieve something like this fairly easily:

@catherine15C2, it would be helpful if you posted an example photo with a description of what you are trying to remove.  The healing brush is not the best tool for removing larger objects in a complex photo.
