terriscrapper Posted November 29, 2016 Share Posted November 29, 2016 I am uploading a photo that has poles in it....I have tried the content aware tool to no avail..it distorts around their faces....Is there another trick to this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lindarobin Posted November 29, 2016 Share Posted November 29, 2016 Easy enough to cover the pole left of her face with background leaves, but you would have to create the rest of her arm. It would probably look too fake. I would just leave it and try a creative coverup with embellishments and frames. Just a quick idea here: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ngaire Posted November 30, 2016 Share Posted November 30, 2016 You could do it in small lots and use the clone tool. But it does look cool the way Linda has done it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lorac Posted November 30, 2016 Share Posted November 30, 2016 I use PSE15 and used the content aware on one of my photos and it turned out perfect. If I remember how I did it, I'll let you know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lorac Posted December 1, 2016 Share Posted December 1, 2016 Here is the video I watched to take the object out of my photo. It worked perfectly. Hope it works for you. https://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop-elements/how-to/remove-objects-artifacts-content-aware-fill.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lindarobin Posted December 2, 2016 Share Posted December 2, 2016 That's a good tutorial video, Carol, but I think content aware will not work for terri's photo because the background behind the entire length of the pole is too varied (not just leaves, but also parts of arm, parts of railing, grass, tablecloth). Content aware works best when the object you want to disappear, is surrounded by the same background. So it worked well in the video example where the "stray bird" appears in front of a background of clouds. Content aware takes the drudgery out of manually cloning background to cover something up. However, if it can't be done manually to look natural, then it can't be done with content aware either. When the offending object is close to people, content aware may start cloning extra people parts. Freaky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did have trouble trying to clear up some background in a photo of me holding one of my cats. All I got was the cloning of extra people/cat parts. Freaky it was.

lindarobin Posted December 3, 2016 Share Posted December 3, 2016 The technique to preventing content aware from "unwanted cloning" (like an extra ear or eye!) is to mask everything you don't want content aware to think can be used as new background. Depending on what's in the photo, this can be as much work as manually cloning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had tried the content aware and it came up missing part of face and etc. Your advice about covering it is a good one....I ended up enlarging the photo, one person was removed but it worked. Thanks again!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
April Showers Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 I took a little stab at it. I wouldn't even try to get rid of the large pole - I just worked on the one on the right. If I were scrapping it, I'd rotate the photo a bit so that the pole is straight. Covering it the way Linda showed is a great idea. I used the clone tool with a fairly small brush and a bit of the spot healing brush. The results are usually better with a higher resolution image.
