Remove Tool in Beta for Photoshop Desktop

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!

 

  1. 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

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?

I can engage the tool and when I draw around the content I want removed, it doesn't remove it after it processes. Any idea why this would be happening?

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

Removal Tool works well some times and other times the masked area turns into a Green / Grey mask.

This happens on different images and different objects.

The remove tool worked great for me for the first few days, however it now seems to have a glitch.  After the first removal brush which works as it should, subsequent removals in the same area, and sometimes different areas, result in just a black fill instead of photo content.  I tried a reinstall of the Beta and the same thing still occurs.  System is a Ryzen 5 5700X, with AMD 6700XT GPU and 32 GB of RAM.   Screenshot attached.

Hi all. I somehow always get an error message when i select only the "remove tool" in photoshop beta:
Could not complete your request because of a program error.
I have already tried everything in my power to work around the problem, but nothing has helped.
Does anyone happen to know how I can fix the problem?
The error does not occur when I save or open the file....
I have copied here the error code that I have created with the plugin "Photoshop User Diagnostics".

Hi, I keep getting the "Unable to use the tool at this time", already tried everithing in the comments. Can you explain the causes of that message?

It runs fine for me after I run the "match color" command with the"neutralize" option enabled for removing color cast.

Can you show me step by step on how this is achieved?

Hello! When I try to use the remove tool on my Mac OS Ventura, this shows up: 

Actually, eventually it seems to work allright. But what are the hardware requirements, indeed?

Also, when after using the remove tool I correct something with spot healing brush, and then return to the remove tool on the same picture, it stops doing its job, making strange colorful stains instead

Could you 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 PS for the change to take effect.
Do you mind posting the screenshot of About This Mac by choosing About This Mac from the Apple menu in the corner of your screen? 

Thanks!

The "hardware" message still appears. My computer:

Remove tool not selectable, clicking it causes a "program error" window to pop up

I'm having this problem on my Windows PC as well. Any fixes? Thanks!
