Which sequence correctly describes how to remove an object using the Content-Aware Fill workspace?

• A. Use the Quick Selection Tool to select the object, then Fill with Content-Aware and confirm.
• B. Select the object with a selection tool, then Edit > Content-Aware Fill, adjust sampling area and fill settings, and output either to a New Layer or Current Layer, then OK.
• C. Choose Edit > Fill, select Content-Aware from the Contents menu, then OK.
• D. Create a layer mask and paint over the object with black, then apply a Gaussian Blur.

Answer: (B)

Removing an object with Content-Aware Fill relies on using the dedicated workspace that analyzes surrounding pixels and lets you control how the fill is generated. The right approach starts by selecting the object you want to remove, then opening the Content-Aware Fill workspace (Edit > Content-Aware Fill). Inside this workspace you can refine what Photoshop uses to fill the selection by adjusting the sampling area, and tweak fill settings such as how colors, rotation, scale, or mirroring are handled. You also choose where the final result goes—either onto a New Layer for a non-destructive edit or onto the Current Layer if you’re overwriting the original. Finally, you apply the result with OK. This sequence gives you live preview and precise control over the fill, which is why it’s the best match.

Other methods skip or bypass the Content-Aware Fill workspace. Using a standard Fill command (without the dedicated workspace) or a rapid quick-selection+Fill won’t provide the same adjustable sampling area and fill options. Masking the object with a layer mask and painting is a different technique that hides the object rather than generating a pixel-filled replacement through Content-Aware Fill.
