Step Two:
If your image is on the Background layer (as this one is), this is easy—just press the Delete (PC: Backspace) key, it brings up the Fill dialog, and, by
default, Content-Aware is selected in the Contents pop-up menu (if it’s not, just choose it). Now, just click OK, Content-Aware Fill does its thing, and all
that distracting stuff on the right is gone (as seen here). If the thing you want to remove is on a layer above the Background layer, no big deal—instead of
hitting the Delete key, there’s only one difference: go under the Edit menu and choose Fill. It still brings up the Fill dialog you see here; it’s just an extra
step. Go ahead and press Command-D (PC: Ctrl-D) to Deselect. Then, let’s remove those weeds by getting the Lasso tool (L) from the Toolbar and
making a loose selection around them at the bottom of the image (as seen here).
Step Three:
Once you’ve got those weeds selected, hit Delete (PC: Backspace) to bring up the Fill dialog (again, if you’re working on the Background layer, like we are
here). Hit OK and those weeds are gone! Deselect and move on to the small window ledge on the left—put a Lasso selection around it, bring up Fill, hit
OK, and boom, it’s gone. By the way, I leave the Color Adaptation checkbox turned on because it helps blend in the fix with the surrounding colors.
