TLDRIn this tutorial, the presenter demonstrates the new 'Remove Tool' in Photoshop AI, which is currently in beta and expected to be released soon. The tool is showcased as being highly effective in removing objects or people from images with minimal artifacts and a natural look. The process involves duplicating the image, using the 'Quick Selection Tool' with 'Select Subject' for precise selection, and then expanding the selection by 10 pixels to avoid trace elements. The 'Remove Tool' is then applied within the selection to eliminate the object. For further refinement, the 'Lasso Tool' and 'Content-Aware Fill' are used to smooth out any harsh edges. Finally, a 'Blur Tool' is optionally employed to soften the edges for a more seamless result. The tutorial provides a step-by-step guide to achieving a professional-looking edit with the new tool.
