Hello there,
one of the reasons I bought AP is to remove objects from a picture and replace it with something so it is not obvious. Of course, the inpainting brush is something that I always try but often, even after several attempts (different strokes, size of area, directios). it does not give a satisfying result. By the way, does the direction matter?
Anyways, I guess I am at a point where I think that now the other tools should be used and I am thinking of:
- Healing Brush Tool, Patch Tool, Blemish Removal Tool, Clone Brush Tool, Smudge Brush Tool.
- Lasso Tool (this was suggested in a YT comment to limit the editing area, but I never used it so far to do so. But I used it to copy and paste an area and paste it above the area to be replaced with less than 100% opacity, to use the structure and not a more less solid color)
- Brush Tool with a graffity style to blend 2 areas together (as shown an official video here)
When looking on Video tutorials I have not yet seen any tutorial that explains these tools, in particular how to remove objects and replace it realistically. Most of the time it is either the inpainting brush that just works (or is not that important because the purpose of the tutorial is another topic) or the quality of the inpainting result is not inspected in detail.
At the moment I am just trying to use these tools but don't see much progress in the quality and efficiency of my work. I am switching between the tools and it just doesn't get much better. Therefore I want to ask if you know any tutorial that explains how to remove and replace objects realistically.
