Remove cables or lines

Hello,

 

I'm looking for a method to erase very easily cables or lines from the pictures. Recently I discovered an app that do that in a very fast and easy way and I loved it. I'm searching for something similar on Photoshop, because the standard strument doesn't work so simply.

 

If nothing like that it exists, it could be interesting if Adobe will do something similar. I prefer do not to mention the app name... but if it's possible I'll write the name. 

 

Thanks a lot.

Use the content-aware fill, a common feature in adobe Photoshop, this will help.

Retouch a photo to remove distracting objects

If one approach isn't working as expected, there are many other options including Spot Healing Brush, Healing Brush, Content-aware Fill, Clone Stamp, and/or Patch.

 

What's the other software?  Paint.NET?  Pixlr?  Affinity Photo?  PhotoWorks?  GIMP?

 

If there's something you find to be easier, be sure to share it here.  It may help someone else.

Hello,

 

there are some very good tutorials on youtube about removing power lines etc.   This one for example

 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GuR1rY6_BIg   (courtesy of PIXimperfect).   I hope I´m allowed to post this link in here, I´m not sure. . .

 

if that doesn´t help, search youbube for removing objects like mentioned in the answer above.

Thanks a lot @HeikoKnoll. I didn't know the fact that I could use "shift" to continue the erasing. I'll use it asap 🙂
