Sometimes it doesn’t matter how patient you are — you can be waiting hours for people to get out of your shot in particular landscapes or tourist areas. Annoying yes, but there is a way to quickly and easily fix it.

So how do you remove people from your background in Photoshop? The Content-Aware Fill tool is a great option.

How to use Content-Aware Fill

The Content-Aware Fill tool is really great tool to use, especially for fixing up little areas like I show below.

It’s similar in many ways to how I expanded my frame using the same tool in Photoshop. Such a great feature. Once you remove the people from the background, it’s much better than the original image below.
