PatchmanBefore you start
A source photograph and a clear idea of what you want to remove.
1. Prepare the photograph
Open the Repaint application and load the image. Keep the original and identify any details that must remain unchanged.
2. Use Brush
Paint over the distraction, including its edges and the part of its shadow you want removed. Start with a narrow brush around details and use a larger brush inside the selected region.
3. Process and inspect
Apply the cleanup where relevant, inspect it at full-image and close-up views, then export a new copy.
Check the result
Review the mask before processing. A mask that extends far into useful scenery asks the tool to reconstruct more than necessary.
What to know
Open your project in Repaint to apply these steps to your own image. Refine the selection, compare the changed region with the source and review the export. The homepage comparison uses a prepared sample.
