The editor of "Photoshop"

The graphic editor "Photoshop" is by far the most popular of all applications intended for working with images. The widest possibilities of this program are used by both professionals (artists, photographers, etc.), and amateurs. The editor is not free. However, working with it is much more convenient than with most similar programs. With it, you can delete unnecessary text not only from a monophonic, but also from a non-uniform background texture.

Graphic editor Photoshop® CS5

First, let's look at how to remove the inscription from the image in Photoshop CS5. The way to get rid of unnecessary parts of the picture in this version is slightly different from that used in earlier versions of the program. It is somewhat easier and takes less time. About how to get rid of the inscription in earlier versions, we'll tell you just below.

Then on the control panel go to the tab "Edit" and in the menu that appears, select the line "Run fill". After that, the "Fill" dialog box will be displayed. Here in the "Use" area we select the "Taking into account the content" item. In the "Overlay" area, apply the following settings: opacity - 100%, mode - normal. Now click on the OK button. As a result of all these manipulations, the selected area will fill with a background.

Remove the labels in the Photoshop® CS6 editor

Consider how to remove the caption from the image in "Photoshop CS 6". This is done in the same way as in Photoshop® CS5. Also open our picture, going through the items "File" - "Open". Then again copy the Background layer and enlarge the unnecessary label. After that go to the section "Edit" - "Fill" and perform the necessary settings in the dialog box that appears.

How to remove inscriptions in other versions of the "Photoshop" editor using the "Stamp" tool

In the earlier versions of the program you can remove unnecessary details from the image using the "Stamp" tool. This work is very simple, but requires a certain amount of accuracy. The Background layer in this case also needs to be copied.

So, how to remove the inscriptions from the image with the "Stamp" tool? To begin with, we increase it with the "Lupa" tool. Take the "Stamp" and place the cursor-circle on a free background area somewhere near it. Clamp the Alt key and click on the selected area. In this case, the circle-cursor will decrease in size, and inside it will appear a cross. Then move it to the inscription. After releasing the Alt key, click on it. As a result, part of the background is copied over the inscription. Step by step we fill the entire area requiring correction. It is possible to click on the background with the Alt key held down more than once. In this case, the final result will look much more accurate.

How to remove the inscription in the program "Photoshop" by cloning?

The method of cloning in the "Photoshop" editor is similar to the way we looked at the very beginning for the Paint program. The inscription is removed using the Lasso or Rectangular tool. All that is required is to select the portion of the background that will serve as a patch. With the "Rectangular Area" tool, simply stretch the square in the desired area. With the help of "Lasso" you can make more complex selections. The resulting patch must be copied to a new layer. To do this, also using the tools "Lasso" or "Rectangular area", click on the selected area with the mouse button (right) and in the pop-up window select the line "Copy to a new layer". In the Layers window, a new one appears with a patch. It will not be highlighted in the work field.

Then you should take the "Move" tool (black arrow) and drag the patch (on the layer with it) to the text. In the event that it does not completely override it, go to the tab "Edit" - "Free Transformation". Then, while holding the mouse button (left) on one of the boxes on the transformation path, you need to stretch the patch to the desired size. Then it should be moved so that it is on top of the text, which in this case is located on the layer below. This can be done without leaving the transformation field. After the text is closed, press Enter. Thus, instead of an inscription on a picture, only a piece of the background will be visible, merging with the surrounding one.

At the very last stage you will need to merge all the layers into one. To do this, click the mouse button (right) anywhere in the picture and select the "Merge Layers" item in the displayed menu. As a result, there will be one Background with already deleted inscription.

So, you, most likely, now understand how to remove the inscription from the picture. "Photoshop" and other graphics programs allow you to perform this operation in just a few clicks. In Paint, you can do this by selecting a patch, copying and closing the text. The same technique, along with the method of painting with the "Stamp" tool, can be used in the "Photoshop" editor of earlier versions. In Photoshop, starting with CS5, the removal is even easier - automatically, using the "Fill with content" tool.
