Expert Answer

You can use the Spot Healing Brush Tool to remove text from an image, this icon looks like a band-aid in the toolbar. Select the Spot Healing Brush Tool, adjust the brush size as needed, and then simply paint over the text you want to remove. Photoshop will automatically blend the surrounding area to cover the text. Another newer method is that, with the new AI-powered tools, you can use the Content-Aware Fill feature. Select the text using the Lasso Tool or the selection tool, then go to "Edit" > "Content-Aware Fill." Photoshop will analyze the surrounding pixels and intelligently fill in the selected area, which removes the text automatically.

You simply click on the Move tool (the first in the toolbox that looks like a mouse with a 4-point direction arrow).

Question

What do I do if text is not showing up when I type it in?

Community Answer

The color you're typing in is most likely the same color as the background. Either change the color of the background or the color of the text.
