Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Erase tool?

Erase is an easy-to-use tool in Luminar Neo that helps you remove objects from pictures in no time.

How can I remove unwanted objects from a photo?

The Erase tool works non-destructively and matches the original pixels’ texture, lighting, and shading without using a layer. As soon as the Erase tool is selected, the cursor becomes a brush. When brushing over areas to erase, a red overlay appears, showing the selection.

  • Select and Deselect. By default, Select is chosen. When brushing over an image with Select chosen, you select areas to erase (indicated with a red overlay). By clicking the Deselect button, you can deselect areas to erase (removing the red overlay).
  • The Size slider increases or decreases the brush size. You can also use the left and right bracket keys [ ] to decrease and increase the brush size. It’s a good idea to keep the brush slightly larger than the size of the object or blemish you’re erasing.
  • Click the Erase button to erase selected areas of your image (indicated with the red overlay).
  • Clear Selection clears your current selections so you can start over.
