How to use Photoshop AI’s new distraction removal tool

Key Takeaways

  • AI-powered Distraction Removal tool in Photoshop 2025 removes wires, people, saving time for editors.

  • Tool is hidden in Photoshop interface and requires specific hardware, software, but allows for traditional methods.

  • For removing power lines: Update Photoshop to 2025, select Remove tool, choose Generative AI setting.

I’m addicted to chasing the Northern Lights. But, I have one big problem: the northern view from my yard is marred by power lines. The wires are an annoyance that can be in a few steps if I have the time. The new Photoshop 2025, however, has a new tool that removes power lines in much less time: Distraction Removal.

Distraction Removal uses AI to locate two of the most common distractions photo editors tend to edit out: wires and power lines, and people in the background. Photoshop then removes those distractions and fills in the gap based on the data from the rest of the image. Even better, photographers can turn generative AI off if they would rather use traditional methods like content-aware fill instead. Yes, AI is still needed to mask out the image, but this allows photographers to avoid having part of their image computer-generated.

For distraction removal, you’ll need Photoshop 2025 on a computer (not a mobile device). If you have an older version, an update is required. The tool also has some hardware requirements, including 16 GB of memory, at least 8 GB of RAM, and a hard drive of at least 512 GB. If you meet the minimum but not optimal requirements, a pop up will warn you that removal may be slower than with other machines.

The tool is new to Photoshop 2025
