How to Remove a Person from a Photo Using Photoshop
Editing digital images is easier than editing traditional film. Although it is possible to edit digital images using Microsoft Paint, it is recommended to use Adobe Photoshop as it allows you to manipulate photographs. Photoshop is an extremely smart and user friendly application that is particular helpful when you want to remove an unwelcome person from the picture. Sometimes, cropping is done to get this job done but may not work with some types of images and you can use Photoshop to make the person disappear.
