Eraser

One of AirBrush’s original flagship tools, Eraser, is quite the powerhouse for us to start off with. It simply removes! So remove photobombers by simply adjusting the size of the eraser and swiping at the object you want to remove until it has been taken out of the scene like was never even there.

Stamp

Remove Photobombers - stamp

Our Stamp tool removes photobombers by covering the offending subject with another part of your photo entirely. If you have a repeating scene as your background or can choose a section of the photo that can blend with the area behind the photobomber, this tool will work seamlessly for you.

Blur

Remove Photobombers - blur

Blur takes a more selective approach to how you remove photobombers in your street photography. Though, as ever, it is simple to use. When you select the tool, just swipe over the areas you want to blur and obscure. You can adjust the level of blur effect and also clean up around any areas you blurred by mistake.

Bokeh

Remove Photobombers - bokeh

Our Bokeh tool is a bit of a steam roller. It automatically isolates your subject and then applies a blurring effect to the rest of the photo. That is, the background of your street photography photos. You have the option to toggle the strength of the bokeh effect to achieve the most aesthetic effect.


It wouldn’t be AirBrush if we didn’t give you options to find the best way to remove photobombers from your photos.
