Tool guide

Select a rectangular region for cleanup

Use Rectangle in the documented Repaint editor to control a photo cleanup.

Before 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 Rectangle

Draw a rectangle around a distraction that fits a simple box. Keep the boundary close to the target and avoid enclosing unrelated detail.

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

A rectangular mask is quick, but can include more background than a carefully painted selection.

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.
