Remove Power Lines in a Photo with Photoshop
Here's a photo that I shot recently at fabulous Las Vegas and as you can see, all these power lines are in there and are kind of getting in the way of the photo. Not only am I going to show you how to quickly remove these lines. I'm going to show you how to do it non-destructively.
Step 1.
Go to our layers panel, create a new layer. You can name it if you want. We will be working on this new layer.
Step 2.
Grab our Spot Healing Brush. go up to the top, turn on Sample All Layers. This will enable us to clone on to the blank layer.
Make a brush size about the size of the power line and you can make it smaller by hitting the left bracket or larger by hitting the right bracket.
Step 3.
Now here's the tip: If you Shift Click, you can draw in a straight line. This works on any brush tool including the Spot Healing Tool!
So here's the trick to it though. Click and Hold. Now hold down the Shift key. Now I'm just going to release everything, but keep holding down Shift. Move over to the end of this line, and then, click, and notice what it does is it creates a line in-between and gets rid of the power line.
When we start a new one, you don't want to Shift Click because if you Shift Click notice it draws a line from the previous destination. So what you're going to do is you click, hold down that mouse or that Wacom pen, and then, click the Shift key, release the Shift key.
And you can see how easy it is to do this. It's almost laughable, so if you've been cloning this out by hand, you've just found a new and better way of doing it.
Step 4.
So what do we do if we get to these ones that are a little bit curved? Well, let's do the same technique and you might have to go across a couple of times; it's not a problem.
So I hope you enjoyed it. If you did, hit that Subscribe button right now, become part of the Cafe crew. I've got a new Photoshop or Lightroom tutorial every week, and also the occasional gadget video including drones and things like that. Share this with your friends, add a comment. Let me know what you think about this if you like this technique. And, by the way, when you do this in Camera Raw or in Lightroom, the same thing works with the Spot Brush. So, thanks guys for watching, until next time, I'll see you at the Cafe.
