Remove Tool in Beta for Photoshop Desktop

[MeredithStotzner]

Hello Beta Team,
The Remove tool replaces areas of your image with realistic and relevant content.  Use this tool to remove any distracting regions or elements, no matter how small or large.

Simply brush this artificial-Intelligence-powered tool over objects and people to make them disappear… as if they were never there. 

Complicated backgrounds and structures, such as fences or edges are seamlessly completed.

What we want for you:
This should seem like the magic you expect out of Photoshop!

For our experienced users and those with a discerning eye, our goal is to reduce or eliminate the clean-up after the fill. You should be spending less time repeating a fill for better results. You should also not need to clean-up by switching to another tool, such as the Clone Stamp.

What we want from you:

If you have multiple systems, please try this tool on all of them. Hardware will make a difference.

Please compare the results to your usual method of removing/filling objects. Let us know…
Was it like magic?
Did this save you time?

Let us know by clicking on the Beaker and giving the results a thumbs-up or a thumbs-down.

How to use the Remove Tool in Photoshop Desktop Beta

1. Select the Remove tool from the toolbox.
   Find it in the Healing brush tool group. Expand the group by clicking on the Spot Healing Brush tool, Patch tool, or Red Eye tool to show the Remove Tool.
   
   Note: You may see a “Installing required components…” dialog the first time you use the tool after installation. Don’t worry, that’s normal.
   
   
2. Choose a brush size in the options bar.
   • Choose a brush size that lets you brush over the entire object – with a little extra for good measure – so you don’t have to do a lot of brushing!
   • Brush hardness and brush opacity settings are not used by this tool
            
3. (Optional) If you want to make multiple brush strokes to cover the large or complex object, turn off Remove after each stroke in the options bar.
   • Remove after each stroke = ON  will apply the fill as soon as you complete a single stroke with the tool.
   • Remove after each stroke = OFF will apply the fill after clicking the apply button; allowing for multiple strokes of the brush on the object before applying the fill.  
        
4. (Optional) Turn on Sample All Layers in the options bar to sample data from all visible layers.
   Note: The new pixels will be created on the current, selected layer.
   Hint: Create & select a new layer, then turn on Sample All Layers for a non-destructive workflow.
   
   
5. Click and drag over area you want to remove.
   • Be sure to cover the entire area. Results are better if a bit of the background behind the object or person is also covered.
   
   If Remove after each stroke = ON is selected, the new pixels will be appear after completing the stroke. Skip the next step. You’re done!

6. If Remove after each stroke = OFF, continue to stroke of the area(s) to be removed, then click Apply in the Options bar or  Enter/Return on the keyboard.
   • Use Reset all Brush Strokes to clear all the strokes and start over.

We are looking forward to hearing from you!
Thank you,
The Remove Tool Team

Hi Aurora_Media,
Are you drawing a circle around the content you want to remove? 
The correct way to use the tool is to brush on the content you want to remove. (Please see the example in the original post).

If that's not the issue, could you please check which layer you are working on and if Sample All Layers is checked in the Options Bar across the top?

Thank you,
Meredith

I am fully up to date with Photoshop Beta but the remove tool does not show. I have reset my tool bar to default but no success.

Hi @keithc45045168 ,

Do you see the Remove tool in Edit > Toolbar under the Extra tools on the right?

Or if you hit CMD+F/Ctrl+F and search for Remove Tool does it show up there for you?

[keithc45045168]

No, Nothing shows

[Yuko K.]

Can you share the Help > System Info?

24.4.1 is the latest officially released Photoshop and not the Beta version of PS.
Remove Tool is in Beta app and Adobe Photoshop (Beta) icon should be white square with a blue PS. 
 

[keithc45045168]

That is what I have, 24.4.1 with the remove tool white with blue PS and it
is up to date

[Yuko K.]

The version of Photoshop (Beta) is 24.5
24.4.1 is the officially shipped Photoshop and Remove Tool is only available in Beta version (24.5).
You can install the Adobe Photoshop (Beta) from Adobe Creative Cloud.
1. Click Apps in Creative Cloud.
2. Select Beta Apps.
3. Select Photoshop (Beta) then click Install. The Remove tool is available in the Beta app.

4. Once installation is complete, Install button will change to Open. Click Open.

Now you should see the Remove Tool in Spot Healing Brush tool slot.

[keithc45045168]

I am on 24.4.1.
I have installed the BETA version.
The remove tool is not available in my toolbar.

[Pete.Green]

Hi @keithc45045168,

If the version you see is 24.4.1, that's the general non-beta release of Photoshop.

Make sure the version that you're opening is the White Ps icon beta version.

If on Windows, it may not let you have both Open at the same time (installed is fine). So be sure to quit the Photoshop (blue icon) that is open, and then open the Photoshop beta (white icon). It should say Photoshop (beta) in the title bar once open and be version 24.5.

Let us know how it goes. 

[keithc45045168]

Thats solved it, thanks

[Pete.Green]

Hi all,

If you're getting a Program Error while using the Remove tool, the team would like you to try the following steps and see if it fixes the problem:
1. Go to Preferences > Image Processing
2. Select “More Stable” for the Remove Tool Processing.
3. Relaunch Photoshop for the change to take effect.

4. Try Remove Tool again and let us know if this fixes the Program Errors for you

Thank you!

[Lucienr123]

I tried the option "more stable" and the remove tool is now stable.

[keithc45045168]

I have selected more stable but I don’t have the tool in the first place

@keithc45045168 
Could you follow the instruction I posted in the other thread and let me know if you can find the Remove Tool?
https://community.adobe.com/t5/photoshop-beta-discussions/remove-tool-in-beta-for-photoshop-desktop/...

[keithc45045168]

Yes, I have done all the above but the Remove Tool is still not available
on my toolbar

[Yuko K.]

Glad to hear selecting More Stable worked for you @Lucienr123 .
We would like to hear back from the users who got program error on selecting the tool.
@MikekiM. @Steve27874987orrr @Howard29408247fvjj Do you mind trying the steps and let us know if it solves the problem? Please make sure to relaunch PS after changing the Preferences. 

[Steve27874987orrr]

Hi Yuko,

I am happy to advise that using thelatest beta version the tool does now open and appears to work with limited testing so far 🙂 thanks for your work on this.

[Yuko K.]

Steve27874987orrr

So you didn't have to change the Preferences > Image Processing > Remove Tool to More Stable? Just updating to the latest Beta build fixed the program error?

[Jens28757509vkw8]

Since making it more stable it works well.

[FEbbert]

I haven't seen this tip mentioned enough:  the layer cannot be a Smart Layer.  Verify you are not working on a smart layer before trying system-level fixes. 

Ps Layer Panel showing Smart Layer indicator. 

At least four remedies are available for removing Smart Layers.  Three are found in Ps. Right click the layer and find at least three options: Edit Contents, Rasterize Layer, Flatten Image.

In Ps, RMB (right mouse button) menu on selected Smart Layer

Number four:  In Camera Raw, just "Open", not "Open Object".  The "Open as Object" option opens images as a Smart Layer.

Camera Raw interface with Open Object options selected. 

Cheers

Since day one, I have been unable to use the remove tool and haven't been able to get help. I keep getting this error. Can someone please assist? I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling and nothing. 

[Lucienr123]

I got the remove tool working in Photoshop version 24.5.0. It started working reliably when I set the option to "more stable" in the "Remove Tool Processing" under the menu "Image Processing" in the preferences. Also, in the "Technology Previews" in the Performance menu, I have selected "Older GPU mode" because I have an older GPU. It is now working fine and it is a great tool and very useful.
