What is the correct sequence to remove a person using the Lasso tool and Content-Aware Fill on the Background layer?

• A. Select the Lasso tool from the Toolbar and draw a selection around the person on the cliff on Background layer; Click Edit and choose Fill; In the Contents dropdown, choose Content-Aware; Click OK.
• B. Use Quick Selection tool, then Edit > Fill with Content-Aware
• C. Use the Clone Stamp tool and sample from nearby areas
• D. Use the Eraser tool to remove the person

Answer: (A)

This question tests how to remove an element by making a freehand selection and then filling that area with surrounding pixels on the Background layer. Start by using the Lasso tool to draw a selection tightly around the person on the cliff. Make sure you’re working on the Background layer so the removal modifies the base image. Open the Fill command, choose Content-Aware in the Contents option, and click OK. Photoshop will analyze the surrounding pixels and generate fills that blend the selected area with its surroundings, effectively removing the person. This approach is ideal for irregular shapes because the Content-Aware Fill uses nearby textures and colors to create a seamless result on the existing background. Using the Quick Selection tool or Clone Stamp would bypass the requested freehand selection with the Lasso or rely on manual cloning, while the Eraser is destructive and does not synthesize new background content.
