Seamlessly remove unwanted spots using Content-Aware Remove

(New in Lightroom desktop and Lightroom for mobile)

Starting with the October 2022 release of Lightroom Desktop (version 6.0), you can achieve the best editing results by practicing ultimate image control over your photos. The new Content-Aware Remove tool in the Healing panel lets you remove unwanted spots and objects in a photo by sampling content from other parts of the photo.

The Content-Aware Remove tool is known as Remove in Lightroom for mobile (iOS and Android).

Remove blemishes and unwanted spots from the photo by following these simple steps:

  1. Select the photo you want to retouch. In the Healing panel, select Content-Aware Remove

  2. Define the Size and Opacity of the brush to make a selection.

  3. Click and drag the brush over areas you want to heal using the Content-Aware Remove tool. Lightroom will analyze and fill the selection with best-suited generated content from other parts of the photo. 

    Alternatively, if you wish to manually change the sampled area that is selected by default, you can:

    macOS: Cmd + drag an area on the image while a Content-Aware Remove spot is selected.
    Windows: Ctrl + drag an area on the image while a Content-Aware Remove spot is selected.

  4. To remove all the adjustments made using the controls, select the Reset button from the menu.
