How Our Tool Helps To Erase People From Photos

The Erase tool helps you remove unwanted details with a few clicks.
By selecting the Erase tool your cursor becomes a brush that you can use to apply a red overlay mask over the areas you want to remove.

Cover the unwanted people with the overlay, and then press a button! It’s that easy.

Maintain Photo Realism After People’s Removal

When you apply the effect, Luminar Neo examines the pixels surrounding the people you want to remove and generates a texture that realistically matches in lighting, and shading

Frequently Asked Questions

How to achieve perfect people removal with our cutting-edge tool?

To remove someone from a picture, simply use Luminar Neo’s Erase tool. Brush up the area you want to get rid of, in your case, the distracting people in the background, and then click Erase. You can use masking to make further adjustments for even more precision.

Is it possible to erase someone from a photo without leaving any traces?

Of course! Simply use the Erase tool in Luminar Neo. However, be aware that the less cover area you want to modify, the more precise your results will be.

How to remove a person from a group photo?

Depending on the photo, it can be tricky. However, if the person is not in the foreground or taking up too much space in the photo, you can use the Erase tool to cover them and erase them from the group photo. Make sure not to brush up the people standing nearby. Adjust the size of the brush if necessary.
