Although programs like Photoshop offer advanced image editing features, Windows has a native function that almost no one knows about and that allows you to easily delete objects from photos.
When you take a photograph, whether with your mobile camera or with professional equipment, the first thing you expect is to capture the perfect moment. However, many times objects that appear in the background can ruin the image, even if the main subject turns out perfect.
What to do in these cases? The solution is to edit the image, and surely the first option you think of is to use one of the most advanced and complete programs for this task: Photoshop.
This software, developed by Adobeis widely recognized as one of the most complete image editing apps on the market. However, its price may be prohibitive for many users.
Fortunately, if you don't want or can't invest in this program, there is an alternative built into any Windows 11 computer that allows you to edit images and delete unwanted objects easily and for free, it is the Generative Eraser.
This feature uses artificial intelligence to identify and remove unwanted objects from an image. Although it is not as robust as Photoshop, it offers an accessible and effective solution if you need to carry out basic edits on your photographs.
This is how you can delete objects from your photos with Windows 11 Generative Eraser
This feature is exclusive to computers with Windows 10 and Windows 11, so you will not find it in previous versions of the operating system.
Although Photoshop offers more advanced and complete editing tools, the Generative Eraser is a very practical and effective option to remove unwanted objects from your photos in a simple, but above all free, way.
To get started, open the Photos app on your computer, then select the image you want to remove background elements from. At the top there is a menu with six icons, at this point click on the tab Delete.
The tool will open Generative draft on the side of the application with the only tool available, which is the brush, with which you can set the size to begin marking the objects you want to eliminate.
As we already mentioned, the feature that is integrated into Windows uses artificial intelligence to eliminate selected objects and fill the space naturally with quite acceptable results.
It is important to mention that the Generative Eraser works best with objects that have a defined background and that are clearly different from the element you want to delete. Thus, if the object has fuzzy edges or blends into the background, the result may not be as precise.
