I'm trying to get the recompose tool to remove a space in a photo.

I've tried reading all the tutorials but no luck.

Here's a video of my problem.

Help please!

      Hi, had same problem, any file I tried to use over 8Mb won't work - just compresses the whole image. If I just reduced the file size to less than 8Mb before attempting to use the protection and remove functions then it seemed to work OK. Long time since I was in the IT business but this might just be a storage allocation size in the software but like I say it's been a long time, Roy

      Hello ~ I am having the EXACT same problem with PSE15. Was this ever resolved for you? It's incredibly frustrating!

      Hi,

      Thanks for reaching out to us.

      You can do this by using Recompose guided edit in special edit section easily:

      See this help article,Recomposing in Photoshop Elements  , for instructions on how to do this.

      Let me know if you have any queries.

      Thanks,

      Arshla

      Hi I am having the same issue. I STARTED in guided mode and got exactly the same result. Absolutely nothing happened. I thought perhaps I was trying to edit a RAW photo, so I switched to a PSD version of the photo and nothing changed. I am trying to delete a space in a picture that is distracting and no matter how or what I highlight, there is no difference in the results. What are some recommended alternatives to using either the Recompose tool or using the Guided Edit? Neither works.
