Testing Photoshop 2025's One-Click Remove Tool

Photoshop's New "Find Distractions" Feature: A Game-Changer for Image Editing

This tutorial by Aaron Nace from Phlearn introduces a powerful new feature in Photoshop 2025: the Find Distractions option within the Remove Tool. This innovative tool enables users to effortlessly eliminate unwanted elements from their photos, such as stray wires, distracting cables, or even people, with remarkable ease and efficiency. Located within the familiar Spot Healing Brush Tool, "Find Distractions" streamlines the process of achieving clean and polished images.

Upon activating this feature, users are presented with two options: Wires and Cables or People. Photoshop's generative AI then intelligently identifies and removes the selected distractions. This automation significantly reduces the time and effort previously required for such tasks, particularly for images with multiple distractions. For those instances where the AI might miss an object, a manual refinement option is available. Users can simply paint over any missed elements using the Remove tool's brush for a precise and controlled removal process.

This new feature streamlines the workflow for photographers and designers who often grapple with removing distractions from their images. By simplifying this often tedious process, Find Distractions allows users to focus on the creative aspects of their work.
