Photoshop Elements: Remove dates from photos
Photoshop Elements can be used to quickly remove the unsightly date on photos. Our instructions show you the individual steps.
Photoshop Elements: remove date - the right tool
The right tool is your wonder weapon. With Photoshop Elements you can choose between the area repair tool or the copy stamp. You should choose depending on the difficulty of the background - usually the copy stamp is more suitable.
Remove date display with copy stamp
- First open your photo in Photoshop Elements, select "Expert" above and zoom in a little on the date to make it easier to work with.
- Select the copy stamp (key [S]) from the tool palette.
- Hold down the [Alt] key and click to select a point from the vicinity of the date display that is very similar to the background of the date. This is used as a starting point for "painting over".
- Now stamp carefully over the date so that the surroundings from the starting point are copied over until nothing of the date is visible.
- If the edges are noticeable, you can still correct them using the area repair tool.
- Finally, look at the entire picture again and check whether the correction is noticeable in a before / after comparison.
