NEW! Remove Tool: Brush + Lasso interaction & more!

[MeredithStotzner]

Remove Tool: Brush + Lasso
Introducing a new interaction for the Remove Tool; brush a closed loop around the element you want to make disappear.  The benefit of this simplified interaction is it takes less time and is less error-prone than brushing large objects.

Simply encircle the object they want to remove instead of brushing over the object.
There are no special settings or UI regarding this interaction.

Start: Select the Remove Tool in the toolbar.

1. Brush the perimeter of the object/area you want to remove.

• You do not need to fully connect the endpoints.
• Any content under the brush and within the loop will be removed. 

2. Mouse/Pen-up.
   or click the Apply (checkmark) button in the options bar if multi-stroke is enabled.

• Notice the overlay area fills in automatically.
• This interaction can be used with multi-stroke (Remove after each stroke checkbox) ON or OFF.

Remove Tool: Subtract brushing (Multi-stroke Mode)

Based on your feedback, we've added the ability to subtract/add to the overlay!  There is now explicit addition (+) and subtraction (–) modes for the Remove Tool brush.

To utilize addition (+) and subtraction (–) modes:

1. uncheck the [ ] Remove after each stroke option in the Tool Options Bar so that you are in multiple stroke mode.
2. Make a brush stroke to identify an area for removal.
3. Click on the subtraction mode (–) button in the tool options bar to change the tool mode. The standard alt/opt keyboard shortcuts are also available.


Provide Feedback and help shape the Remove Tool
Releasing this amazing new technology as a public beta allows Adobe to hear from you! 
Please provide feedback on the overall experience of the Remove Tool, report any bugs, or suggest new features in this thread! You can also provide feedback in the Beta Feedback panel.

• Discoverability... Is this interaction comfortable and familiar? Are there other tools in your digital life that have a similar interaction?
• Endpoint connection gap tolerance… How does it feel?
• Find this easier in some situations than brushing alone? What circumstances is this a better interaction?
  
  

Thank you!

Just updated but encountered the same problem - can't run the program successfully.

Has the generative expand been fixed in this update?

[p-i-v]

No... At least for me the problem remains.

I see. Thank you for the clarification. I will follow that thread to stay up to date on the seam banding issue in the Photoshop beta.

It's helpful in some situations but not in most. Can you at least make it a toggle?

I don't want the brushed areas to be automatically filled in EVERY time.

Generative expand is working perfectly for me I'm very impressed with it

Have upgraded to PS25 & PShop Beta.

In REMOVE TOOL, after it processes the "purple" streak, nothing disappears?  I'm lef with a black streak.  Had been working just fine?  HELP PLEASE

[CShubert]

@Jeffrey3229510968lh could you share your workflow and video or screenshots of what you are seeing? Is the same thing happening on both Ps release and Ps beta?

It may help if we could see your Photoshop System Info. Launch Photoshop, and select Help >System Info...and copy/paste the text in a reply.

How do I (temporarily) disable the Remove Tool's lasso function?

[lucellent]

Not possible for now. I also asked this weeks ago when they introduced it but looks like they won't bother fixing it.

My remove tool doesnt remove anything. if i use it the old way, just drawing over the object, or the new way, turning off "remove after each stroke" and checking the (-) button. Once the pink area dissappears, the object is still right there. Ive restarted Photoshop, still doesnt work at all.
