Removing wrinkles from clothes in a photograph can drastically improve its overall quality. This article provides a step-by-step guide on how to accomplish this in Photoshop, offering you the ability to enhance your images and make your subjects look their best.

Step 1. Choose the Correct Tool

To remove wrinkles from clothes in Photoshop, you’ll need to choose the right tool. There are two primary tools you can use: the Spot Healing Brush Tool and the Patch Tool.

Step 1.1 Spot Healing Brush Tool

The Spot Healing Brush Tool is an excellent option for smaller wrinkles. It works by replacing the selected area with pixels from the surrounding area.

Step 1.2 Patch Tool

For larger wrinkles or more complex patterns, use the Patch Tool. This tool replaces a selected area with another area of your choice.

Step 2. Set the Tool Properties

Before you start, adjust the tool properties. Set the brush size to match the size of the wrinkle, and ensure the type is set to “Content-Aware” for best results.

Step 3. Apply the Healing or Patch Tool

Once you’ve selected the area, apply the Healing or Patch Tool. Photoshop will automatically blend the selected area with the surrounding pixels, smoothing out the

wrinkles.

Step 4. Use the Clone Stamp Tool for Detailed Fixes

For detailed fixes, use the Clone Stamp Tool. This tool copies pixels from one area and pastes them onto another, allowing you to manually smooth out any remaining wrinkles.

Step 5. Compare the Before and After Image

Finally, compare the before and after images. If there are any noticeable differences, go back and adjust your edits until you’re satisfied with the result.
