When editing an image in Lightroom Classic, you may find yourself wanting to remove an unwanted object or person. One way to do this is by using the Mask tool. The Mask tool allows you to create a mask that will protect certain areas of the image from being edited, while allowing other areas to be edited freely. This can be useful for removing unwanted objects or people from an image without affecting the rest of the image. In this article, we will show you how to remove a person from an image in Lightroom Classic using the Mask tool.
To begin, open the image that you want to edit in Lightroom Classic. Then, select the Mask tool from the Toolbar on the left-hand side of the screen. The Mask tool can be used to create a mask that will protect certain areas of the image from being edited, while allowing other areas to be edited freely. This can be useful for removing unwanted objects or people from an image without affecting the rest of the image.
Once you have selected the Mask tool, you can begin creating a mask. To do this, simply click and drag your mouse over the area of the image that you want to protect. As you drag your mouse, a red mask will appear over the selected area. The red mask indicates that the selected area will be protected from any edits that you make. To remove a person from an image, you can use the Mask tool to create a mask around the person. Once the mask is created, you can then delete the person from the image without affecting the rest of the image.
