When to remove a person from a photo

  • Landmark and travel shots

    Pick Crowds to clear tourists and passers-by from a monument, a viewpoint or a market street so the place is what you see, not the queue in front of it. Wide scenes with a simple sky or pavement behind the crowd work best.

  • Photobombers

    Pick Background People to keep the person in front and take out the stranger who walked into the frame. It is the default preset, made for one subject with a few people behind.

  • Family and group photos

    Name one person in the note, such as the cousin who blinked, and the rest of the group stays. It is a quick fix when one face spoils an otherwise good shot.

  • Listings and venue photos

    Empty a room, a shopfront or a hall for a listing or a booking page by picking Everyone. Check the floor and the walls where each person stood.

  • Scenery with nobody in it

    Pick Everyone for a beach, trail or street shot where you only want the place, with no footprints of people left in the picture.

  • Profile and social posts

    Take out the people at the next table or behind you before you post a picture of yourself. Name them in the note if you want to keep your friends.

Tips for a clean result

  • Name the person in the note when several people could be meant, for example "the woman with the stroller on the right".
  • A plain background such as sky, sand, water, a wall or pavement is rebuilt most cleanly, so it is the easiest case when you remove people from photo scenes.
  • Pick Background People when someone must stay in front; pick Everyone only when nobody should remain.
  • Use a photo where the person you remove does not touch or overlap the person you keep: shared handrails or linked arms are hard to separate.
  • Start from the sharpest version you have: a blurry original gives the fill less to match.
  • Compare the result with your original: look at the ground, edges and shadows where the person stood, and at the people who stayed.

Busy patterns, stairs or a person overlapping your subject can leave visible seams, so check the area where the person stood. If it looks off, the free image is spent, so say who to remove clearly the first time.
