The situation when you need to get rid of any inscription present in the picture arises quite often.

You can erase an unnecessary detail using almost any of the existing graphic editors. So, how to remove captions from the picture?

Hold the mouse button (left) and drag the patch to the side, up or down until it grows to the required size. We adjust its position so that the inscription is completely closed.
Photoshop Editor
The Photoshop photo editor is by far the most popular of all applications designed for working with images. The widest possibilities of this program are used by both professionals (artists, photographers, etc.) and amateurs. The editor is not free. However, working with it is much more convenient than with most such programs. With its help, you can remove unnecessary text not only from a single-color, but also from a background non-uniform in texture.
Photoshop® CS5 Graphics Editor
To get started, let's look at how to remove the inscription from the image in Photoshop CS5. The way to get rid of unnecessary parts of the picture in this version is slightly different from that used in earlier versions of the program. It is slightly lighter and takes less time. We will talk about how to get rid of the inscription in earlier versions below.

Remove Labels in Photoshop® CS6
Let's consider how to remove an inscription from a picture in "Photoshop CS 6". This is done exactly the same as in Photoshop® CS5. We also open our picture by going through the items “File” - “Open”. Then again copy the Background layer and increase the unnecessary text box. After that, go to the "Editing" - "Fill" section and make the necessary settings in the dialog box that appears.
How to remove labels in other versions of the Photoshop editor using the Stamp tool
In earlier versions of the program, you can remove unwanted parts from the image using the Stamp tool. This work is very simple, but it requires a certain amount of accuracy. The Background layer in this case also needs to be copied.
So, how to remove captions from the picture with the “Stamp” tool? To begin, increase it with the tool “Magnifier”. Take the “Stamp” and place the cursor on a free area of the background somewhere close to it. Hold down the Alt key and click on the selected area. In this case, the cursor circle will decrease in size, and a cross will appear inside it. Next, move it to the inscription. Having released the Alt key, click on it. As a result, part of the background is copied over the inscription. Step by step, fill in the entire area to be adjusted. You may have to click on the background with the Alt key pressed more than once. In this case, the final result will look much more accurate.
How to remove the inscription in the program "Photoshop" by cloning?
The cloning method in the Photoshop editor is similar to the method that we examined at the very beginning for the Paint program. The inscription is removed using the Lasso or Rectangular Area tool. All that is required is to select the portion of the background that will serve as the patch. Using the Rectangular Area tool, simply stretch the square in the desired area. With the help of "Lasso" you can make more complex selections. The resulting patch must be copied to a new layer. To do this, using the Lasso or Rectangular Region tools, click on the selected area with the mouse button (right) and select the line “Copy to new layer” in the pop-up window. A new patch will appear in the layers window. In the working field, it will not be highlighted.
Next, you need to take the “Move” tool (black arrow) and drag the patch (being on the layer with it) onto the text. In the event that it does not completely overlap it, go to the “Editing” tab - “Free Transformation”. After that, holding the mouse button (left) on one of the squares on the transformation path, you need to stretch the patch to the required size. Then it should be moved so that it is on top of the text, which in this case is located a layer below. This can be done without leaving the transformation field. After the text is closed, press Enter. Thus, instead of the inscription in the picture, only a piece of the background merging with the environment will be visible.
At the very last stage, you will need to merge all the layers into one. To do this, click the mouse button (right) anywhere in the picture and select “Merge Layers” from the menu that appears. As a result, there will be one Background with the inscription already removed.
So, you most likely now understand how to remove the inscription from the picture. "Photoshop" and other graphics programs allow you to perform this operation in just a few clicks. In Paint, this can be done by highlighting the patch, copying and closing the text with it. The same technique, along with the method of painting with the Stamp tool, can also be used in the Photoshop editor of earlier versions. In Photoshop, starting with CS5, uninstallation is even easier — automatically, using the Content-Based Fill tool.
