Removing complicated distracting elements

“

- [Instructor] Sometimes, people get in the way of a good photo. Use the Healing Brush to remove them. Let's zoom in. Activate the Healing Brush. Change it to Clone mode. This pastes the source area on top of the target area. It's best to remove complicated elements like this in sections. The amount removed with each stroke is determined by how much source area is available to use. Show the tool overlay. Lightroom selects a source area. Pull the source pin to an area that looks good. Adjust feathering and opacity to help blend it with the background. Hide the tool overlay so you can work over the first stroke. Toggle the overlay back and forth as you work. Repeat these steps to remove the rest of the subject. Now the wedding crasher is no longer an unwanted guest.
