Part 1: Step To Removing Object from A Photo in GIMP
GIMP is a free image editing tool. You can make your images more than perfect by using this tool. It has stunning effects, filters, layers, and different modes.
It is a little complex for someone who is new to picture editing. If you are also new, don't worry. We will show you the easy steps to remove the object from a photo in GIMP.
Step 1: If you don't have GIMP installed, go to their website and download it. Install the editing tool and open it. The interface should look like this.
Step 2: Browse or choose the image from which you want to remove the object.
Step 3: To remove an object, you need to select the "free select" tool. Using this tool, outline the object that you want to remove from the photo.
Step 4: We are using the layer method to remove the object. So, to add a layer, you need to make a duplicate of your photo. On the bottom right, you will see the option of "duplicate layer". Click on it to add a similar layer to the editing tool.
Step 5: Now that duplicate is added, go to the right toolbar and select "move tool". Drag the upper layer by a few inches so that your selected object is no longer in the selected area.
Step 6: Click on the first photo and right-click on it to see options. In those options, you will see "Add layer mask", click on it. Choose "selection" and click on "Add".
Step 7: Now, your photo should look like the image below. We can clearly see that it requires some finishing touches. To blend in the gaps, we will use the "clone" tool.
Step 8: Click on the "Clone" tool and select the nearest and similar area of the object that you removed. Just copy and paste on the erased area to blend it in the background.
Step 9: To finish editing the photo, go to the right toolbar and click on "Alpha channel lock". It will lock your layer and make sure no transparency is painted on the layer. Later on, save the image by pressing "CTRL+S".
