One of the coolest things you can do with Photoshop is get rid of stuff you don’t want in the picture fairly easily in most situations. If you’re relatively new to the app, this helpful video will show you two such tools for doing that: the Healing Brush and Spot Healing Brush. 

Coming to you from Anthony Morganti, this helpful video will walk you through two tools that can help you replace anything from blemishes to entire tree branches. While the Clone Stamp tool can certainly work in a lot of situations, the beauty of the Healing Brush and Spot Healing Brush is that they use Photoshop’s algorithms to help fill the area in a way that’s both believable and that blends well with what surrounds it (pay attention to his brush hardness and how this helps). If you’re wondering about the difference, think of the Spot Healing Brush as the most automatic and the Healing Brush as in between its Spot cousin and the Clone Stamp, useful for when you want to show the brush from where to sample. As he mentions, it’s easy to obsess over something you’ve replaced because you’ll swear the spot you worked on is visible, when in reality, you’re the only one who would ever notice. I’ve definitely fallen into this trap a few times, and I’ve found the best solution is to get up for a minute, then sit back down and see if my eye is drawn to that spot at all. If it’s not, I know my healing work is fine.
