Last updated on September 24, 2022 @ 1:17 am

If you have ever wanted to remove part of an image in Photoshop and replace it with something else, you are in luck. With the help of some basic selection tools, it is actually quite easy to do. In this article, we will show you how to cut out part of an image in Photoshop and replace it.

First, open the image that you want to edit in Photoshop. Then, use the Lasso Tool or the Pen Tool to draw a selection around the area that you want to remove. Once you have made your selection, press Ctrl+J (Windows) or Cmd+J (Mac) to cut the selected area out and create a new layer.

Now that you have isolated the area that you want to replace, you can simply add whatever content you want into the layer. This can be done by using the Paint Bucket Tool, the Brush Tool, or even by adding a new image into the layer.

Once you are happy with the results, simply save your image and you are done!

PRO TIP: If you are not careful while cutting out part of an image in Photoshop, you may end up with an unwanted jagged edge. To avoid this, use the “Feather” option in the “Select” menu to create a soft edge around the area you are cutting out.

In conclusion, removing part of an image in Photoshop and replacing it is a fairly simple process. All you need to do is use a selection tool to isolate the area that you want to remove, then add whatever content you want into the new layer.
