Photoshop Elements’ “Remove An Object” Guided Edit

KT as Cousin Itt

We’re getting ready to teach our Photoshop Elements Essentials classes again. We’re always amazed at how many tips Photoshop Elements has built into the program. Deb thought you might like to know how to use one of these guided edits, Remove Objects, to eliminate a bald spot as well as getting rid of background objects.

Taking passport photographs is usually not much fun, but at my house we make it into quite a production.  We decided that #1 granddaughter should be transformed into Cousin Itt from the Addams Family.

The Problem

Unfortunately we noticed that our Cousin Itt had a bald spot after we took the photo. Instead of using the guided edit to remove an “object,” I used it to remove the bald spot. The bald spot was surrounded by brown hair, so Photoshop Elements just sees the bald area as an object that you can remove.  Here’s the before and after:
