content-aware fill.
^ Click and drag the Work Path
over the trash to delete it.
Note: You may need to undo the
stroke and try a different brush size
to completely erase the line.
The unwanted line is removed
and the area is filled with content
from adjacent areas.
& Repeat steps 9 to 16 for any
other lines in the photo.
* Click the panel menu button and
select Flatten Image to complete
the edit.
TIPS
Did You Know?
By adding a new empty layer and making the edits on
that layer, you do not alter the original file until you
flatten the layers.
Important!
When removing multiple lines in a photo, work on
one line at a time. The Content-Aware tools all work
best when you make multiple smaller selections
rather than one large one.
More Options!
Work on separate empty layers for each item you want
to remove. That way if the Content-Aware stroke does
not completely remove the line, you can easily delete
the layer and redo the edit. Because the Content-
Aware option randomly selects areas around the area
to be removed, the results can be slightly different
each time it is applied.
