So let's learn another new feature in Canva for 2023 and that is called Magic Erase. With this
0:06
feature you can erase any items on a picture that you don't want to be there. So let's take this
0:11
photo for example. I have a man working at his laptop but around his desk you can see there's
0:17
different items that kind of are distracting and clutter up the picture a little bit. So I'm going
0:22
to use this feature to remove them. So you'll start by selecting the photo, clicking edit photo
0:29
and then choosing the option that says magic eraser. Now I'll be given a brush and the first
0:34
thing I'm going to do is to get rid of this fruit basket. So we just have to kind of brush the item
0:39
out that I don't want to be there. And look at that, it's gone. There's a little bit of something
0:46
here so I'm just gonna kind of try that again just to try to remove whatever was there. It
0:51
looked like an orange that was still visible. And now that's gone. So it looks pretty good. Maybe
0:57
if you look kind of close you could see where it where it looks a little bit blurry but for the
1:02
most part I like how that looks. And now I'm going to take out this lamp by again just brushing that
1:08
lamp out of my photo. Okay there's a little bit of it left. I'm just going to brush that out again
1:16
and maybe just kind of get a little bit of this part of the picture that looks a little bit blurry
1:22
Okay and there's a few other things that I don't want. How about back here? There's this
1:26
framed picture on the wall which again is just a little bit distracting. Let me brush that out
1:34
Okay now you can see there's still a little bit left. I'm just going to go over that again. This
1:38
is kind of what you have to do to remove some of these objects. Sometimes the first time when you
1:42
remove them it doesn't get everything out. And there we go. So now that is gone. Now the last
1:49
is gone. Now the last two objects are right at the bottom of this photo. These are these two objects
1:54
that are a little bit out of focus. I'm not sure how this is going to work but I'm going to try to
1:58
use this magic erase feature to get rid of this glass of orange juice I believe. Let me try to
2:04
just brush that out. Okay not bad. It looks a little blurry. I'm just going to try that again
2:09
to hopefully get this to make this a little bit more crisp and less blurry. Okay a little bit
2:16
better. And my last step is going to be this. Looks like it's a croissant or something at the
2:21
end of the table. I just kind of erase this. Let's see how this will look. Okay not bad. It looks a
2:29
little bit funny because his arm is a little bit misshapen. So let me just try that again
2:37
Okay it still looks a little bit strange. The last thing I'm going to do is just to get this
2:42
this out of focus TV out of that photo or that monitor that's in the background. Okay not bad
2:49
I just want to maybe go over that just one more time. One final time. Let's see how this looks
2:57
Okay so it looks okay. Now this is not a hundred percent perfect. I removed a lot of things out of
3:03
that photo and for the most part if you just look at it quick it looks fine. Or if you use this in
3:08
a presentation where that photo is not going to take up your whole screen and you're going to scale it down to maybe a quarter of the page maybe even smaller. I'm pretty sure that people
3:16
in your audience won't see that you made the edits to those photos. So this can be a really helpful
3:22
tool if you're just looking to remove a few objects in your picture that may be distracting
3:28
So this is Magic Eraser. It's a new tool that's available in Canva right now. Go ahead and check
3:34
it out. Thank you so much for watching this video. If you have any questions on Canva feel free to
