Photoshop 2025 introduces a revolutionary "Find Distractions" feature that automatically identifies and removes unwanted elements from your photos with a single click. This new capability can detect wires, cables, and people, then use generative AI to seamlessly eliminate them without manual selection.
The feature works within the existing Remove Tool, combining automatic detection with the flexibility to manually paint over additional elements you want to remove.

These essential techniques will help you get the best results when using the new distraction removal feature:
- Access the Remove Tool by selecting the Spot Healing Brush Tool and choosing the Remove option located directly below it
