How to remove one person from a photo?

Question

Hi,

Can someone please tell me how to remove one person from a photo (part of it attached) that has two people with the latest PS?

Also since both persons are very close, after remove the other person, I probably need to smooth the edge of the kept person. How can I do it?

Thanks & regards.

HiUse the Clone Stamp tool to "paint in" the pixels from another area. Make a selection first so you don't paint outside the lines. Jane

The only method to do this with precision is to learn about the selection tools and refining selections. There are MANY tutorials on the internet for these tools - but you're not going to find a magic, automatic solution for your need.
One tutorial to start with may be: https://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/how-to/make-precise-selections-in-select-mask.html
After that, you're fortunate that the background can be repaired with a combination of selecting background, moving the layer into place, and using the clone stamp to repair edges. The clone stamp will also be helpful for fixing the edge of the remaining dress.
For the future, I really suggest taking and introductory course, or studying selections, layers, masking, and cloning, to accomplish similar goals on your images. The Photoshop Classroom in a Book is a good place to start.
