Hi,

I'm sorry if i look stupid but i just started using Photoshop and i have this photo of me that I took in a photoshoot last week and there's a lot of ads on it. I just wanted to remove them but i'm stuck, can't find the right way to do it.

Can someone help me by giving me advices or maybe i can send him the picture and he could remove the text for me ?

Thanks a lot.

    Have you worked with Masks yet?  Basically you want to select & keep desired areas and mask out undesired ones.   See this beginners guide to Layers and Masks.

    If the ads are around the image you can probably crop them out.

    If the text is on top of your image and it's not on a separate text layer it may be difficult, if not impossible to remove it without damaging the image.

    When the OP said ads, I immediately thought of signage ads & billboards.   I see so much of this in Southern California.
