Remove objects with the retouch brush

Last updated: September 8, 2026 · 2 min read

Mark an unwanted part of a photo for removal.

The retouch brush changes pixels in the selected photo; it does not delete a separate page object.

Follow these steps

  1. 1

    Open retouching

    PropertiesAI toolsRetouch

    Select the photo and open Retouch in Properties. Make the unwanted area visible and take care around product edges.

  2. 2

    Paint the area

    CanvasRetouchBrush size

    Set the brush size and drag over the unwanted area. Use a smaller brush for tight details. You can add multiple strokes to guide removal.

  3. 3

    Correct the mask

    CanvasRetouchUndo / Clear

    Undo on the retouch toolbar removes the last stroke; Clear resets all strokes. Cancel before applying to exit without applying a retouch result.

  4. 4

    Apply and compare

    CanvasRetouchApply

    Choose Apply or press Enter. The result replaces the image; inspect patterns, edges, and lighting around the edited area. Recheck framing and placement.

Confirm the unwanted area is removed while meaningful product details remain correct.
